INTRODUCTION
This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground
handling and routine care and servicing. It also identifies certain inspection and
maintenance requirements which must be followed if the aircraft is to retain its new-
plane performance and dependability. It is wise to follow a planned schedule of
lubrication and preventive maintenance based on climatic and flying conditions
encountered locally.
AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
Inspection intervals occur at 50, 100 hours and in accordance with special inspection
schedules which are added to regularly scheduled inspections. Correct maintenance
procedures are described in the aircraft’s Service Manual or in the engine’s Service
Manual.
GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The aircraft is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand by pulling it by its propeller
near the axle. A tow bar can be fixed onto nose gear fork. Aircraft may be steered by
turning rudder or, for steep turns, by pushing lightly on tailcone to lift nose wheel.
PARKING AND TIE-DOWN
When parking airplane outdoors, head it into the wind and set the parking brake. If
chocks or wedges are available it is preferable to use the latter.
In severe weather and high wind conditions it is wise to tie the airplane down. Tie-
down ropes shall be fastened to the wing strut attachments and anchoring shall be
provided by ramp tie-downs. Nose gear fork can be used for front tie-down location.
Flight controls shall be secured to avoid possible weathervaning to end travel damage
of moving surfaces. For this purpose, seatbelts may be used to latch control stick to
prevent its movement.
