PARKING
When parking the airplane, head into the wind and set the parking brakes. Do not set the
parking brakes during cold weather when accumulated moisture my freeze the brakes, or
when the brakes are overheated. Close the cowl flaps, install the control wheel lock and chock
the wheels. In severe weather and high wind conditions, tie the airplane down as outlined in
the following paragraph.
TIE-DOWN
Proper tie-down procedure is the best precaution against damage to the parked airplane by
gusty or strong winds. To tie down he airplane securely, proceed as follows.
1. Set the parking brake and install the control wheel lock
2. Install a surface control lock over the fin and rudder
3. Tie sufficiently strong ropes or chains (700 pounds tensile strength) to the wings and tail
tie-down fittings and secure each rope to a ramp tie-down
4. Tie a rope (no chains or cables) to the nose gear strut and secure to a ramp tie-down
5. Install a pitot tube cover.
JACKING
When a requirement exists to jack the entire airplane off the ground, or when wing jack points
are used in the jacking operation, refer to the Service Manual for specific procedures and
equipment needed.
A jack pad assembly is available to facilitate jacking individual main gear. Prior to the jacking
operation, the strut-to-fuselage fairing must be removed. With this fairing removed, the jack
pad is then inserted on the tube in the area between the fuselage and the upper end of the
tube faring, and the gear jacked as required. When using the individual main jack point,
flexibility of the gear strut will cause the main wheel to slide inboard as the wheel is raised,
tilting the jack. The jack must then be lowered for a second jacking operation. Do not jack
both main wheels simultaneously using individual main gear jack pads.
