Figure 2: Main Wheel
B. Toe, Camber, and Track
After each hard landing and after any repair on the strut or the main bulkhead the wheel alignment
has to be checked. For this, the DV 20 KATANA is placed onto slide sheets and alignment checked
at empty mass (weight) against the data in the Adjustment Report.
In the event a deviation is found, shims should be placed between the strut and the wheel fairing
mount. These change the angle between wheel axis and fuselage centerline.
In addition the wheel track can be checked at this time. The track is measured from the most
outboard point of one wheel axis to the same point on the other axis. This inspection must also be
performed at empty mass (weight) and with the airplane placed on slide sheets.
