8. HANDLING AND SERVICING
8.1 Introduction
This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground
handling and servicing of the airplane. It also identifies certain inspection and
maintenance requirements, which must be followed if the airplane is to retain
that new-plane performance and dependability.
8.2 Ground handling
8.2.1 Parking
It is advisable to park the airplane inside a hangar or alternatively inside any
other suitable space
(garage)
with stable temperature, good ventilation, low
humidity and dust-free environment.
It is necessary to moor the airplane when it is parked outside a hangar. Also
when parking for a long time, cover the cockpit canopy, possibly the whole
airplane by means of a suitable tarpaulin.
8.2.2 Jacking
Since the empty weight of this aircraft is relatively low, two people can lift the
aircraft easily. First of all prepare two suitable supports to support the aircraft.
It is possible to lift the aircraft by handling the following parts:
x
By pushing the fuselage rear section down in the place of a bulkhead the
fuselage front section may be raised and then supported under the firewall.
x
By holding the fuselage rear section under a bulkhead the fuselage rear
may be raised and then supported under that bulkhead.
x
To lift up a wing, push from underneath that wing
only
at the main spar
area. Do not lift up a wing by handling the wing tip.
8.2.3 Road transport
The aircraft may be transported after loading on a suitable car trailer. It is
necessary to dismantle the wings before road transport. The aircraft and
dismantled wings should be attached securely to protect these parts against
possible damage.
