Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't use DOT 5, but it is approved by some of
the manufacturers, and I have seen it used successfully on a Long-eze. His
concern was about flammability of MIL-5606, so he switched to DOT 5. As far as
I know, he didn't have any issues, but I've lost tr
Mil-h-83282 is what I used for ground equipment as a maintainer. It is a
synthetic substitute for 5606 and it works great.
Here's what Grove Aircraft thinks about brake fluid alternatives...

Be careful substituting brake fluids. If a system is designed to take
mil-h-5606 you typically can't use commercial aviation hydraulic fluid such
as skydrol and vice versa because it will destroy the seals. If you are
concerned with flammability of 5606, use the new synthetic replacement for
5606
