TIEDOWN
Proper tiedown procedure is the best precaution against damage to the
parked airplane by gusty or strong winds. To tiedown the 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 wing, tail and nose tiedown fittings and secure
each rope or chain to a ramp tiedown.
4. 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
Maintenance Manual for specific procedures and equipment required.
Individual main gear may be jacked by using the jack pad which is
incorporated in the main landing gear strut step bracket. When using
the individual gear strut jack pad, 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 the individual main gear
jack pads.
CAUTION

If nose gear maintenance is required, the nosewheel may be raised off

horizontal stabilizer, and allowing the tail to rest on the tail tiedown ring.
