When supporting the aircraft by trestles under the belly ensure that that trestle is padded and
located under the wing strut beam, undercarriage channel or similar hard point on the fuselage
structure. Carelessly positioned trestles can easily damage the aircraft.
Ensure that the aircraft is stable and supported so that it cannot tip off the trestles.
