I just uninstalled P3Dv5.2 and installed v5.3 as per instructions from Lockheed Martin.
Question: Do I need to re-download my A2A aircraft from my store account or can I just use the zip files in my downloads folders on my pc that I put in v5.2 earlier?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Re: Re-installing A2A aircraft after P3D update
You can use your current zips. The installer will look for updates during the install process anyhow.
If you install (or have installed) to a separate library instead of the main sim, your aircraft remain in place when you do the P3D updates. Same goes for other addons like ORBX and Active Sky.

Re: Re-installing A2A aircraft after P3D update
When I updated from P3D 5.1 Hf1 to 5.3 all of my addon aircraft and sceneries were present and in working order. It was the same when I updated 5.3 to the Hf1 and hotfix update. As long as you have installed 5.3 in the exact location as your previous version of P3D 5 you should be okay. No need to reinstall any of your addons as previously noted, aircraft (including you A2A addons) and Orbx sceneries. In fact I just finished a night flight with the A2A Comanche.

Re: Re-installing A2A aircraft after P3D update
Prior to the 5.3 update I recently moved my A2A fleet onto a separate hard drive, away from the default in 'My Documents'. So after a full install of 5.3, I had to manually add an entry for this location in the add-ons.cfg file located in... C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5
