Based at Spirit (KSUS) Million Air hangar B-9. The hangar key is newer and can be a little difficult to insert, but it works.

Fuel, oil & cleaning
Fuel to the tabs — 32 gallons usable. For a long trip, fuel as needed before departure, then return to the tabs when you hangar the airplane.
Use Phillips 66 X/C 20W-50 (blue bottle). Log accurate oil usage when checking the aircraft back in. Clean leading edges with the airframe spray and terry towels; use microfiber and window spray for the windscreen only.
Leaving the airplane
- Fasten seatbelts across the seats; stow the shoulder harness; leave the cabin neat and clean.
- Do not leave the tow bar on the nose wheel unless your hand is on it — remove it when walking away.
Important starting information
Starter limits: 10 seconds on, 30 seconds off, up to 3 tries, then a 2-minute cool-down. If it does not start after about 5 blade rotations, check fuel (too little or flooded).
Maintenance guidance: 3–4 good primes with the fuel pump on when OAT is greater than 10°C; 5–10 primes when colder. Unlock the primer, pull full aft and count 4–5 (it draws slowly), then lock fully in. Fuel pump off after start; on again before takeoff per checklist. If flooded, follow the POH flooded-start procedure.
Weight & balance

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
For educational purposes only. These calculators use the current basic W&B data on file for each aircraft but are not for official flight planning. As Pilot in Command, reference the aircraft POH and the current weight & balance documents for your flight. You are solely responsible for correct, accurate calculations before flight.
Graphs reflect Normal Category limits. For Utility Category, confirm CG envelope data in the POH for that aircraft. Figures do not include start, taxi, and run-up fuel credit.
