  • Page 18 During the 30 day non-operational storage or the first 20 hours of intermittent engine operation, every seventh day the propeller shall be rotated through 10 revolutions, without running the engine. If the aircraft is stored outside, tie-down in accordance with paragraph 2.1.5. In addition, the pitot tube, static airvents, air vents, openings in the engine cowling, and or similar openings shall have protective covers installed to prevent entry of foreign material.
  • Page 19 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).
