4A.5.18 FLIGHT IN RAIN
NOTE
Performance deteriorates in rain; this applies particularly to the take-off distance and to the maximum horizontal speed. The effect on the flight characteristics is minimal. Flight through very heavy rain should be avoided because of the associated visibility problems.
4A.5.19 REFUELING
CAUTION
Before refueling, the airplane must be connected to electrical ground. Grounding points: unpainted areas on steps, left and right.
% Use of Fuel Additives
% |
CAUTION |
% |
Only approved fuel additives not exceeding the approved |
% |
concentrations may be used; refer to Section 2.14 FUEL. The |
% |
instructions of the fuel additive supplier must be followed. |
% |
Failure to exactly follow the fuel additive mixing procedures |
% |
during refueling can result in incorrect fuel additive |
% |
concentrations, fuel system contamination and possible |
% |
engine stoppage. |
%Fuel additives may have been already mixed into the fuel when stored. In this case make
%sure that the brand is approved and the concentration does not exceed the approved
%values.

Procedures
%Anti-microbial life fuel additives may be manually batch-blended into the fuel tanks. In
%this case introduce the additive while filling the tank after approximately the half tank is
%filled.
%Anti-icing fuel additives should not be batch-blended into the fuel tank. The fuel additive
%should be injected into a stream of fuel.
%Record the brand and amount of fuel additives in the airplane log every time fuel additives
%are added.
