THE LOCALIZER APPROACH TO HANGARING
This approach was designed specifically for the hangaring of aircraft by
one person where there is little space between wingtips and hangar door
opening. The minimums for this approach are down to 12" clearance at each
wingtip. Place the aircraft partially into the hangar, equal distance for each
wingtip from hangar door. Facing the aircraft in the same direction as it will be
hangared, mark the hangar floor indicating the exact centerline of the right main
gear tire only.
Pull the aircraft out and paint a single stripe on the centerline of the right
main only, starting approximately 10' out from hangar door and back as far as
main wheel would normally go. Only this single point of alignment needs to be
checked progressively when hangaring the aircraft to ensure clearance.
Rear main wheel chock blocks should always be anchored in position on
hangar floor to prevent inadvertent travel through rear of hangar.
