07-10-01 Balance Weight
Prior to the removal of the horizontal and/or vertical
stabilizer(s) or prior to shoring the aircraft as described in
chapter 07-20-00 it is necessary to weight the tail to prevent
aircraft from tilting onto the nose. In this case follow the
steps described below (refer to figure 1):
1 Put a weight (1) of min. 30 kg under the tail.
2 Remove the RH tail side skin and the tail cone access panel
as per chapter 51.
3 Connect the weight with the now accessible steel tube (3)
by means of a strap (2). Prevent damage of paint and control
cables.
