FLYABLE
STORAGE
Airplanes
placed
in
non
operational
storage
for
a
maximum
of
30
days
or
those which
receive
only
intermittent
operational
use
for
the
first
25
hours
are
considered
in
fiyable
storage
status.
Every
seventh
day
during
these
periods,
the
propeller
should
be
rotated
by
hand
through
five
revolutions. This
action
"limbers"
the
oil and
helps
prevent
any
accumulation
of
corrosion
on
engine
cylinder
walls.
