GENERAL INFORMATION - STORAGE OF Al2 AIRCRAFT
1-1. Purpose:
1-2.
a. The purpose of this appendix is to provide special storage
instructions peculiar to the Al2 series of aircraft, and
supplement the general storage of aircraft instructions
contained in T. O. 1-1-17.
Responsibility:
a. The length of time the aircraft is to be stored, local climatic
conditions, and the amount of exposure to weather must be
considered in processing the aircraft into storage. Aircraft is
to be stored in accordance with existing directives, and by using
the minimum requirements. The requirements will be sufficiently
critical to insure that airframe, systems, components, and
assemblies will be processed into a satisfactory state of preservation.
b. When necessary to place aircraft in storage, every reasonable
effort will be expended by the storage activity to insure that the
stored aircraft can be withdrawn from storage with a minimum of
manhours and requirements for parts.
c. Activities performing maintenance on aircraft which have a
"storage history" within the past six months, shall accomplish
the "removal from storage requirements" on all items which have
not been previously cleared on aircraft maintenance forms.
1-3. Types of Storage:
a. TEMPORARY storage includes those aircraft undergoing minor
repair, modification, awaiting re-assignment or disposition,
being held as operational reserve; or any other circumstance
which would result in an aircraft being grounded up to and in-
cluding 90 days.

Section A-1
1-3. (Cont'd)
b. EXTENDED storage includes aircraft undergoing major repairs,
modification, pending assignment, withdrawal from active service,
or any other circumstance which would result in an aircraft being
grounded over 90 days.
NOTE
Temporary and extended storage conditions
for the Al2 aircraft are virtually identical.
The only prime difference being that under
TEMPORARY storage conditions, it may be
decided to keep the airplane current with
regard to any "Flight Safety" or "Urgent
Action'' service bulletins.
1-4. Entries on Aircraft Forms.
a. Entries concerning type of storage, date placed in storage,
equipment removed from aircraft, etc. , will be entered of the
applicable forms in accordance with T. 0. 00-35D-730.
b. Aircraft forms will be processed in accordance with applicable
directives when an aircraft is being returned to service from
storage status.
1-5. Inspection of Stored Aircraft.
a. Aircraft will be inspected in accordance with requirements of
paragraph 3, Section II, of T. 0. 1-1-17.
b. If, during periodic examination of the stored aircraft, it is
determined that preservation of any system is inadequate,
additional preservation will be accomplished as determined
necessary by local maintenance office.
