Foreword
It is with much pleasure that we welcome you into the group of IKARUS C42 owners.
The C42 is a solid micro-light aircraft which has proven itself in daily use. It is the
result of many years of development and contains the experience gained in the
production of more than 3000 micro-light aircraft.
The sophisticated and robust construction of the aircraft combines easy maintenance
and repair work with solid flight performance and above-average flight
characteristics.
Its versatility allows universal utilisation in various fields of activity. The C42 is a
recognised training and towing aircraft, it allows stress-free and comfortable travel
and can be used for special missions such as parachute jumping, as a seaplane or a
crop duster or, with skis attached, land on snow without difficulty.
The reliable global spare parts supply and 24 hour delivery within Germany is
exemplary. This means that you or an Ikarus Flight Centre (IFC) / Ikarus Service
Centre (ISC) can carry out maintenance or repair work on the C42 quickly and easily.
This maintenance manual serves as a guideline for the implementation of
maintenance measures. In addition, it is hoped that technically interested owners will
be given an insight into the design and maintenance of the C42 and thus be able to
make a contribution to flight safety and maintaining the value of their aircraft.
