RECONDITIONING
In case of landing on a civilian airfield, the pilot must carry out the reconditioning operations and
make sure they are correctly performed.
The operations concern the refueling and engine oil level check, form 11 and acceleration recorder
filling.

REFUELING

WARNING
OBEY THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RELATIVE TO
REFUELING

- Make sure that a fire extinguisher is available.

- Carry out aircraft/distribution device electrostatic connections (aircraft/tanker and fuel gun).
- “Close the filling cap and take care the marking is aligned with the wing one”.

- Unscrew the gauge cap, read and determine the oil quantity to be added to reach 10 litres.
- Add the determined quantity.
- Check the level using the gauge.
- Screw and manually tighten the gauge cap.
- Close the access door.

NOTE
A PARTIAL FILLING UP TO 8 L IS AUTHORIZED IF AIRCRAFT
DOES NOT DO AEROBATICS

- Gauging is performed with fully-screwed gauge.

AIRCRAFT PARKING

- Aircraft must be tied-down into the wind (control surface blocking and mooring) if the wind
exceeds 25 kt.
- If it is impossible, shelter it.
- The aircraft must be sheltered if the gusts reach 70 kt head-on (or 50 kt crosswind).
