JACKING
Jacking must be done by authorized maintenance operators in accordance with
the Maintenance Manual.
It is possible to lift the aircraft in the following manner:
•
Main gear wheels can be lifted by jacking carefully on the jack points
installed under the wings.
•
By pressing down on the horizontal stabilizer, the fuselage front section
may be raised and then supported under the firewall.
•
By lifting the rear fuselage under a bulkhead the rear fuselage may be
raised and then supported under that bulkhead. The support should comprise a
large, flat surface area to avoid damage to the under-fuselage skin. The wings
should also be gently supported to prevent the aircraft from rolling.
•
To lift a wing, push from underneath the wing only at the intersection of
the front spar with a rib, and using a support that has a large contact area with
the wing lower surface to spread the lifting load on a sufficient length of the spar
and rib. Avoid pushing directly on the skin. Lift only one wing at a time.
This procedure can be used, for instance, to put the airplane on scales in order
to weigh it.
8.5.7
ROAD TRANSPORT
The aircraft may be transported after loading on a suitable trailer. It is necessary
to remove the wings before road transport. The aircraft and dismantled wings
should be attached securely to protect against possible damage.
Aircraft disassembly and assembly must be performed by qualified personnel.
Refer to the aircraft maintenance manual for assembly and disassembly
instructions.
NOTE
Nobody is authorized in the cockpit during aircraft jacking operation.
