AIRPLANE PARKING
AND MOORING
When the airplane is stationary on the ground,
precautions must be taken to ensure safety of
personnel and equipment. The extent of safety
measures to be observed depends upon the pre-
vailing or expected weather conditions and the
expected length of time the airplane will be
stationary. The airplane must be parked or
moored into the wind with landing gear lock-
ing pins installed, as illustrated in Figure 1-16.
AIRPLANE SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Challenger was the first executive jet to
use AC power as its primary electrical system.
Its DC requirements are met through the use
of transformer-rectifier units which convert
115 VAC to 28 VDC. A single nickel-cad-
mium battery is used for starting the APU and
as an emergency DC backup.
AC System
The AC system is divided into four subsystems:
1. Primary system
2. Auxiliary system
