2.7 Flyable storage

Flyable storage is defined as a maximum duration of 30 days non-operational storage and/or the

first 20 hours of intermittent engine operation.

During the 30 day non-operational storage or the first 20 hours of intermittent engine operation,

every seventh day  the propeller  should be rotated  through 10 revolutions,  without running the engine. If
the aircraft is stored outside, tie-down in accordance with paragraph 2.6. In addition, the pitot tube, static
airvents,  air  vents,  openings  in  the  engine  cowling,  and  or  similar  openings  should  all  have  protective
covers  installed  to  prevent  entry  of  any  foreign  material.  After  30  days,  aircraft  should  be  flown  for  30
minutes or ground run-up until oil has reached operating temperature.

2.8 Returning aircraft to service

After flyable storage, returning the aircraft to service is accomplished by performing a thorough

pre-flight inspection. At the end of the first 20 hours of engine operation, drain engine oil and replace
external oil filter element. Service engine with correct grade and quantity of engine oil. Refer to figure 1-3.
and paragraph 1.6 for correct grade of engine oil.

2.9 Temporary storage

Temporary storage is defined as an aircraft in a non-operational status for a maximum duration of

90  days.  The  aircraft  is  made  from  metal  material,  composite  materials  and  a  fabric  surface.  This
construction  will  allow  the  aircraft  to  be  stored  for  long  periods  of  time  without  damage  to  the  airframe.
Nevertheless  we  recommend  to  store  the  aircraft  in  a  dry  hanger  to  keep  paintwork  and  metal  parts  in
good  condition.  For  storage  periods  not  exceeding  90  days,  the  following  methods  of  treatment  are
suggested:

a.

Fill fuel tank with correct grade of gasoline.

Clean and wax aircraft thoroughly.

Clean any oil or grease from tires and coat tires with a tire preservative. Cover tires to protect\

against grease and oil.
d.

Rotate wheels every 30 days to change supporting points and prevent flat-spotting the tires.

Seal or cover all openings which could allow moisture and/or dust to enter.

Remove battery (see paragraph 15.17) and store in a cool dry place, charge battery as required.

Seal all engine openings exposed to the atmosphere using suitable plugs or none-hygroscopic
tape. Attach a red streamer at each point that a plug or tape is installed.

If the aircraft is to be stored outside, perform the procedures outlined in paragraph 2.6. In

addition, the pitot tube, static ports, air vents, openings in the engine cowling and other similar
openings should have protective covers installed to prevent entry of foreign material.
i.

Attach a warning placard to the propeller to the effect that the propeller should not be moved
while the engine is in storage state.

2.10 Inspection during storage

Remove dust accumulations from airframe as frequently as possible, clean and wax as required.

2.11 Returning aircraft to service

After temporary storage, use the following procedures to return aircraft to service:

a.

Check tires for proper inflation.

Check battery and install.

Check the oil sump has proper quantity of engine oil (Refer to Pilot Operating Handbook and/or
Rotax Operator´s Manual for instructions).

Service induction air filter and remove warning placard from propeller.
