8 Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing
Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing 8 - 2
8.1 Servicing Fuel, Oil and Coolant
The REMOS GX is designed to be easily serviceable. Access to all
components which have to be lubricated or checked regularly is
possible without detaching any panels. A flap in the upper cowling
allows checking coolant and oil without removing the cowling.
The fuel filler cap is located on the right-hand side of the fuselage
behind the wing. After removing the lockable fuel filler cap, refuelling
is easily possible. The basic equipment provides two gauges to
check fuel level from inside the cockpit.
The first one is a fuel level sight tube located between the seats and
an additional electric fuel gauge is installed on the right-hand side of
the instrument panel. Refer to Section 2 "Airplane and Systems
Descriptions" for further instructions regarding specifications and
capacities.
8.2 Towing and Tie-Down Instructions
Due to the low weight of the REMOS GX it is very easy to move the
aircraft on the ground by hand. That’s why there is no special
equipment for towing provided. In no case the aircraft shall be towed
by attaching any kind of towing equipment to the nose wheel!
To tie the aircraft we recommend the use of three ropes (left wing,
right wing, and tail). Tie down each wing by attaching the rope to the
provided lug at the upper strut bracket. Another rope connection
point is provided at the tail skid of the aircraft. When necessary, a
fourth rope can be slid around the propeller/gear drive shaft at the
nose of the aircraft.
Aircrafts equipped with strut end fairings are equipped with a thread
on the lower side of the wing near the wingtips and are provided with
bolt-in lugs. If required, bolt in the lugs and tie down the aircraft
there. Do not fly with the tie-down lugs installed!
