| A hinged instrument panel makes for easy access to the aircraft's instruments, and a large number of convenient access panels located throughout the aircraft are all evidence that the Gavilan 358 was designed with ease of maintenance in mind. |  |
 |
| The engine cowling is split into three parts so that engine accessories can be reached just by removing the upper rear cowling. No special tooling is required to service the Gavilan 358, which is backed by a two year spinner to tail warranty. | ||
| The Gavilan 358 has been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to Part 23, amendment 46. There is no aircraft in its class that even comes near this standard. Crew seats have been tested to over 20g, at 60º from the vertical plane, and 26g horizontally. | |
 |
| Fail safe structures, redundancy in
trim systems and non
siphoning fuel caps are just a few of the features that set the
358 apart from its
competitors which were certified to the old regulations
contained in the now obsolete CAR3
regulations |
