SECTION 8 - AEROPLANE GROUND HANDLING AND
MAINTENANCE.
8.1
Introduction
This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground handling
and servicing of the aeroplane. It also identifies certain inspection and maintenance
requirements which must be followed if the aeroplane is to retain new-plane
performance and dependability. It is wise to follow a planned schedule of
lubrication and preventive maintenance based on climatic and flying conditions; this
should be done according to the Maintenance Manual for the
EV-97
teamEUROSTAR UK
.
8.2
Aircraft inspection periods
The frequency of checks and associated maintenance depends on operating
conditions and the overall condition of the aeroplane. The manufacturer
recommends that the minimum maintenance checks and periodic inspections be
carried out as follows:
a) After the first 25 ± 2 flight hours.
b) After every 50 ± 3 flight hours thereafter.
c) After every 100 ± 5 flight hours or annually, whichever occurs sooner.
Every other annual inspection should be performed by the manufacturer.
Refer to the Rotax 912 Operator´s Manual for engine maintenance.
Maintain the prop according to its manual.
Refer to the Maintenance Manual for the
EV-97 teamEurostar UK
for more
details about maintenance.
8.3
Aircraft alterations or repairs
It is essential that the responsible airworthiness authority and the aircraft
manufacturer be contacted prior to any modifications to the aircraft to ensure that
the airworthiness of the aircraft is not invalidated.
If the aircraft weight could be affected by a modification, the aeroplane must be re-
weighed to record the new empty weight and cg. The Weight and Balance record /
Permitted Payload range table given in Section 6.2 and the Load Limits placard
must also be amended to reflect the change.
Refer to the Maintenance Manual for Ultra-light Aeroplane

for aeroplane repairs.
8.4
Ground handling / Road transport
8.4.1 Towing
It is easy to tow the aircraft a short distance by holding the prop blade at the
root since the aeroplane’s empty weight is low. The rear part of the
fuselage in front of the fin, and the wing roots are suitable surfaces to hold
the airframe .
