CLEANING AND CARE
All exterior surfaces of the aircraft can be cleaned using a clean,
moist cloth with mild detergents.
The interior of the aircraft should be vacuumed periodically with
careful inspection beneath floorboards to ensure there is no debris
that could interfere with control system functionality.
The instrument panel can be cleaned with a clean, moist cloth.
The canopy and windows can be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth
and any aviation-approved windshield cleaner.
The propeller can be cleaned with a moist cloth and should be
checked regularly for nicks, dents, or other damage.
8.9.1
RINSE AFTER SALT WATER OPERATIONS
The structure and many other parts of the A5 are constructed of
corrosion proof composite materials. There are, however, many
small fittings made up of nickel-plated steel, anodized aluminum,
and stainless steel. These fittings are corrosion resistant but not
corrosion proof. Salt water operations and continuous, or frequent,
use and storage in hot, humid environments can lead to oxidation
and damage of metal parts.
The Corrosion Prevention Schedule and procedures given below are
the minimum preventative maintenance needed to minimize
corrosion related problems. The levels represent progressively more
aggressive operational environments and the associated minimum
rinse procedures. More attention to rinsing operations will further
improve the long-term results.
In general, the aircraft should be rinsed as soon as practical after
every salt water operation. Landing in fresh water should not be
considered a substitute for a thorough rinse as described in this
section. Any visible salt should be rinsed off as soon as practical.
Corrosion Prevention Schedule
Level 1
Aircraft used in fresh water only and stored mainly in dry,
indoor environment
