Tie-Down Provisions
The A5 is equipped with six external tie-down points as follows:
1) Left side of fuselage just behind cockpit opening. This point is
mainly used for water operation when approaching a dock. An
adapter is required for this tie-down point.
2) Right side of fuselage just behind cockpit opening. This point is
mainly used for water operation when approaching a dock. An
adapter is required for this tie-down point.
3) Underside of right wing toward leading edge at mid-span. An
adapter is required for this tie-down point.
4) Underside of left wing toward leading edge at mid-span. An
adapter is required for this tie-down point.
5) The bow handle on the nose of the aircraft.
6) The tail skid.
CAUTION
: The nose of the aircraft can be very light,
especially if the wings are folded. Careful
consideration should be given when choosing
the front or rear tie-down points.
Land
The A5 is equipped with a parking brake, which is located just in
front of the pilot’s seat near the floorboard. This brake is intended
for use for short-term operations (<10 minutes) while the aircraft is
attended. For any long-term, outdoor parking, the aircraft must be
secured using the tie-down points and/or wheel chocks as
appropriate.
Water
The A5 uses aerospace paint, not marine paint. The paint can
withstand 96 hours of continuous direct contact with water.
Exceeding the 96 hours or securing aircraft where it may come in
contact with rocks or other abrasive objects may result in visible
degradation or permanent damage to paint and/or hull structure.
