For short time parking, the airplane must be orientated in headwind direction, the parking brake must be
engaged, the wing flaps must be in the retracted position and the wheels must be chocked.
For extended and unattended parking, as well as in unpredictable wind conditions, the airplane must be
anchored to the ground or placed in a hangar.
When parking the airplane, the flight controls lock, P/N 20-1000-01-00 must be installed and pitot static
