Between operations, how should the aircraft itself be stored to preserve its condition?
- A.Clean and dry, protected in its case or a suitable place, with any damage noted and addressed
- B.Outdoors uncovered so it is ready for quick launch
- C.Anywhere convenient, regardless of moisture or crushing loads
Correct answer
A. Clean and dry, protected in its case or a suitable place, with any damage noted and addressed
Why
Moisture, dust, and physical loads in storage are common sources of the defects found at the next preflight. Storing the aircraft protected, and noting damage when it occurs, preserves airworthiness between flights.
