Aircraft AnchoringIf the aircraft is parked in an open area, it is necessary to anchor it using ropes and anchoring tie downs. in order toavoid movement. Turn the aircraft with its nose against the wind, fix the ropes to the catches on the rings on the strut endsand to the noise wheel, and if necessary also to the rear end of the fuselage. Block the control stickto lock up the elevator and ailerons . Cover the cockpit with a soft sheet to avoid any damage of the Lexan windscreen.Place a wooden blocks in front of as well as behind the wheelsAll the fixing must be made in such a way that the aircraft may not become damaged.By anchoring the aircraft in a rainy weather or in a conditions at which water could condense in the airframe, it’sneeded , before the flight, to follow the steps as described in the article “Aircraft Washing”.Aircraft RepairsMinor repairs are considered to be the repairs of such components which do not affect the flight properties andthe strength of the aircraft. These may be done by the owner himself.All the repairs of the torsion box, wing spars or tail units, struts and load-bearing parts of the airframe must becarried out by the manufacturer only.Aircraft Cleaning and WashingOpenings of static inlet, stall speed indicator and Pitot tube must be covered before washing.Wash the aircraft with standard car-shampoo and water. Avoid using of any solvents and any cleaning agentswhich influence to duralumin and laminate are you not sure about.All insects stuck on the aircraft can influence distinctly performances and air characteristic of theaircraft. That’s why it is necessary to remove them in time!The best way how to do it is to wet the surface first and let them soak for a while before we wiping it with asponge. Avoid any using of raw sponges which could damage the aircraft surface unreparably.After drying the aircraft surface you could treat it by using any silicon-based car polish. Its use improvemarkedly the next aircraft cleaning.The cockpit transparent windshield cleaning needs special care. It must not be cleaned with anyorganic solvents or fuel which can cause permanent damage. Use a lot of water.. Never use the same waterused for the complete aircraft cleaning already before. Use also a separate sponge and rag for drying of thiswindshield.Any eventual using of dirty water and coarse, dirty sponges and rags can cause a windshield surface crashes.After finishing the aircraft cleaning , check if there is no water on wings and tails. Remove the cowling andCheck if there is no water inside the engine compartment, dry it if necessary.Remove the covers from openings of static inlet and Pitot tube, Check if there is no water there.By a very gently blowing into the Pitot tube the airspeed indicator pointer must move and return back onto the“0” position.When operating the aircraft on grassy areas, move the aero-dynamical wheel spats, time to time, and clean them.Mud layers inside the cover can cause excessive stress on the spats, due to weight,© Fantasy AirPage 24 of 30Revison 1.4 October 2007
