- min. AKI 91, CAN/CGSB-3.5 Quality 3
AVGAS
US standard
- AVGAS 100 LL (ASTM D910)
AVGAS 100 LL places greater stress on the valve seats due to its high lead
content and forms increased deposits in the combustion chamber and lead
sediments in the oil system. Thus it should only be used in case of problems
with vapor lock or when other types of gasoline are unavailable.

continue to 2,500 [rpm] till oil temperature reaches 122 [°F] (50 [°C]).
The warm up period depends on ambient air temperature.
Check both ignition circuits at 4,000 [rpm] for Rotax 912 ULS. The engine
speed drop during the time either magneto switched OFF should not exceed
300 [rpm]. The max. engine speed drop difference between circuits L and R
should be 115 [rpm].
NOTE
Only one magneto should be switched ON (OFF) during ignition magneto check.
Set max. power for verification of max. speed with given propeller and engine
parameters (temperatures and pressures).
Check acceleration from idling to max. power. If necessary, cool the engine at
idle [rpm] before shutdown.
CAUTION
The engine check should be performed with the aircraft heading upwind and not on
a loose terrain (the propeller may suck grit which can damage the leading edges of

8.1 Introduction
This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground
handling and servicing of the airplane. It also identifies certain inspection and
maintenance requirements, which must be followed if the airplane is to retain
that new-plane performance and dependability.
8.2 Ground handling
8.2.1 Parking
It is advisable to park the airplane inside a hangar or alternatively inside any
other suitable space (garage) with stable temperature, good ventilation, low
humidity and dust-free environment.
It is necessary to moor the airplane when it is parked outside a hangar. Also
when parking for a long time, cover the cockpit canopy, possibly the whole
airplane by means of a suitable tarpaulin.
8.2.2 Jacking
Since the empty weight of this aircraft is relatively low, two people can lift the
aircraft easily. First of all prepare two suitable supports to support the aircraft.
It is possible to lift the aircraft by handling the following parts:
• By pushing the fuselage rear section down in the place of a bulkhead the
fuselage front section may be raised and then supported under the firewall.
• By holding the fuselage rear section under a bulkhead the fuselage rear
may be raised and then supported under that bulkhead.
• To lift up a wing, push from underneath that wing only at the main spar
area. Do not lift up a wing by handling the wing tip.
8.2.3 Road transport

The aircraft may be transported after loading on a suitable car trailer. It is
necessary to dismantle the wings before road transport. The aircraft and
dismantled wings should be attached securely to protect these parts against
possible damage.

8.3 Towing instructions

To handle the airplane on ground use the Tow Bar, or if pushing the airplane by
hand, push on the aft fuselage, placing your hands over an area of skin
supported by a bulkhead.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive pressure at the airplane airframe-especially at control surfaces.
Keep all safety precautions, especially in the propeller area.
8.4 Tie-down instructions

The airplane should be moored when parked outside a hangar after the flight
day. The mooring is necessary to protect the airplane against possible damage
caused by wind and gusts.
For this reason the aircraft is equipped with mooring eyes located on the lower
surfaces of the wings.
Tie-down procedures:
1. Fuel Selector close, Master switch and other switches switched OFF,
Ignition switch switched OFF.
2. Fix the hand control using e.g. safety harness
3. Close air vent
4. Close and lock canopy
5. Moor the aircraft to the ground by means of a mooring rope passed through
the mooring eyes located on the lower surfaces of the wings and below rear
fuselage.
NOTE
In the case of long term parking, especially during winter, it is recommended to
cover the cockpit canopy or possibly the whole aircraft by means of a suitable
tarpaulin attached to the airframe.
