Ground run static aircraft

Posted by Andrew on Tue Jul 30, 2002 09:58:08 AM

Hi all,

When it comes to maintaining static or taxi capable aircraft in ground running condition, what steps are taken to minimize further deterioration between runs? For example the jet aircraft that are kept at Bruntingthorpe, how often are they run and are the fuel tanks kept wet at all times. And how different are the piston vs jet requirements. I have stored cars and bikes for the winter season (cold Canadian winters) and I was curious as to how some aircraft preservation groups handle storage, restarts etc?
