SECURING THE AIRCRAFT
If the aircraft must be left unattended outdoors, always secure it with tie-downs. The
type of tie-downs used is a matter of personal choice. A
good "rule-of-thumb" is to
ensure that what you secure the aircraft to (and with) will restrain at least 1235 lbs at
each tie-down location. Secure the controls in the cockpit and use the following tie down
points:
•
Tail
gear
•
Left forward wing strut (top- closed to wing attach)
•
Right forward wing strut (top-closed to wing attach)
If strong winds or gusts are advised seek shelter for the AC.
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
Avoid prolonged engine operation on the ground.
