We don't wan't to see failures or accidents down the road attributed to issues incurred by improper long-term storage preperations or maintenance.I'm not worried about the aeroplanie crapping out, but the smell of fried mouse, mouse hair, mouse pee and mouse poop (maybe bird and insect nests too) from the AC system might make me want to kill my self...Maybe they can toss some fresh-scent bounce drier sheets into the front of the jet engine intakes before each flight?

Here in GVA Swiss moves the 330 around the tarmac every week for the brakes (from what I heard) but I suppose they aren't consider as "long-term"
3WE : where does that quote in french come from ? Just curious

The Dangers of Long-Term Storage
They say airframes age mostly on the ground. What dangers does the current fleetwide groundings present? What could be the result of improper storage or non-standard storage? What is required? I've read that planes must be moved regularly to avoid tire damage. Do engines need to be run at specific intervals to avoid corrosion or blockages or cracking in hoses, etc.? Some of these fleets seem to be stored at hubs rather than the arid conditions of the desert. What about airframe corrosion? Should there be a special inspection given to these aircraft before returning them to service? Asking for a friend.Tags: None
