Cleaning - Aeros -2 Maintenance Manual

the trike should not attempt to taxi the trike as the pedals control may be different to what they
have used to. (Refer to the Flight Manual for the complete taxiing procedure).
GROUND TRANSPORTATION
During transportation the trike should be securely tied down at both the front and the rear to
prevent movement. If the trike is transported on the open trailer the propeller should be firmly
secured to prevent any rotation from the incident air flow.
PARKING
The flight has not been successfully completed until the engine has been stopped, the aircraft has
been securely parked and the pilot and passenger have disembarked.
The trike should be parked at 90 degrees to the anticipated wind direction with the brake on. The
wing tip should be placed close to the ground on the side of prevailing wind direction. The base
tube should be secured to the front pylon with the bungee cord or Velcro strap. If wind is
stronger then 20 km/h the wing should be taken off the trike and packed up or the complete
aircraft should be hangared.

17. CLEANING

Use pure water and a soft piece of cloth to clean the aircraft's exterior. If you are unable to
remove certain spots, consider using mild detergents. Afterwards rinse the entire surface
thoroughly with fresh water.
The interior is to be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning the engine should be performed regularly to remove any oil and other residue. Periodic
cleaning allows proper engine inspection and help to discover defects during inspection as well
as reduce the engine fire potential during aircraft operation.
The propeller should be cleaned with water and mild detergent to remove dirt and bug stains.
Checking the propeller condition should be taken during the cleaning procedure as well as prior
to the flight.
During cleaning the air filters, the rescue system and the electronics should be protected from
