When must engine covers be installed?

Engine covers protect the engine from foreign objects, moisture, and debris when the engine isn’t running. They should be installed any time the engine is installed in the aircraft and the aircraft is on the ground with the engine not operating—such as during storage, maintenance, or being parked. This broad requirement covers all ground periods, not just winter or a single scenario. Remember to remove the covers before starting the engine for flight.
