8.4 Ground handling
Towing
To handle the airplane on the ground, use the Tow Bar, or the fuselage rear
pushed down in the place of a bulkhead.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive pressure at the airplane airframe-especially at control
surfaces. Keep all safety precautions, especially in the propeller area.
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.
Mooring
The airplane should be moored when parked outside a hangar after the flight
day. The mooring is necessary to protect the airplane against possible
damage caused by wind and gusts.
For this reason the aircraft is equipped with mooring eyes located on the
lower surfaces of the wings.
Mooring procedure:
1. Check: Fuel Selector shut off, Circuit breakers and Master switch
switched off, Switch box switched off.
2. Fix the hand control using e.g. safety harness
3. Close air vent
4. Close and lock canopy
5. Moor the aircraft to the ground by means of a mooring rope passed
through the mooring eyes located on the lower surfaces of the wings
and below rear fuselage
NOTE
In the case of long term parking, especially during winter, it is
recommended to cover the cockpit canopy or possibly the whole aircraft
by means of a suitable tarpaulin attached to the airframe.
