1. PARKING, MOORING, STORAGE AND RETURN TO SERVICE - GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
A. Storage
The storage procedures are intended to protect the airplane from deterioration while the airplane is not in use. The primary objective of
these measures is to prevent corrosion and damage from exposure to the elements. Refer to Teledyne Continental Motors SIL99-1 for
information on engine preservation for active and stored airplanes. The three types of storage are:
(1) Flyable storage - 7 to 30 days.
(2) Temporary storage - 31 to 90 days.
(3) Indefinite storage - 91 days and after.

B. Anchoring and Mooring Provisions

Three mooring eyes are provided, one in each wing and one in the tail bumper. To moor the airplane, chock the wheels fore and aft,
install the control locks and tie-down with a nylon cord or chain of sufficient length at each point. Avoid overtightening the rear line,
which will pull up the nose so that wind will create higher lift on the wings. If bad weather is anticipated, it is advisable to nose the
airplane into the wind.
