Care and Maintenance

Care and Cleaning:
All metal parts are corrosion-resistant and require no special care. Dirt on
the aircraft and the fabric can be removed by using clear water.
Repair of the wing fabric: repair even the smallest rips for your personal
safety.
A wing fabric repair kit is available from the manufacturer. It is to be
applied to a clean, grease-free area by means of contact adhesive.
Larger rips in the fabric or along the seams in any case must be repaired
by the covering specialists. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.
Be especially careful in the maintenance and cleaning of the cabin
glazing! It is highly recommended to abundantly use clear water with a
little detergent for softening and rinsing of contamination. For drying, a
fine microfiber cloth should be used which is solely used for this purpose.
By no means solvent-based or acid-based detergents may be used.
All Maintenance:
All maintenance work must be carried out by appropriately qualified
persons and confirmed by COMCO IKARUS GmbH.
Major Modification and Repair Works:
Must be reported and officially inspected.
Airworthiness:
Inspections in Germany must be carried out by the manufacturer or by
DAeC inspectors. In other countries different regulations may apply.
