Maintainability
- Easy access to wing attachment fitting, tail units and primary structural member for visual and instrumental monitoring.
- Glider primary members, engine components, windmill units, landing gear and control system are adjusted for using nondestructive control technique.
- Anticorrosion protection of all design elements, using of lasting paint-and-lacquer coating and composites make the aircraft to be operated in every weather conditions.
- Standard instruments and ground support equipment are generally used by maintenance.
