Parking
The airplane should be parked to protect the airplane from weather
and to prevent it from becoming a hazard to other aircraft. The parking
brake may release or exert excessive pressure because of heat
buildup after heavy braking or during wide temperature swings.
Therefore, if the airplane is to be left unattended or is to be left
overnight, chock and tie down the airplane.
1. For parking, head airplane into the wind if possible.
2. Retract flaps.
3. Set parking brake by first applying brake pressure using the toe
brakes and then pulling the PARK BRAKE knob aft.
• Caution •
Care should be taken when setting overheated brakes or
during cold weather when accumulated moisture may freeze a
brake.
4. Chock both main gear wheels.
5. Tie down airplane in accordance with tiedown procedure in this
section.
6. Install a Pitot head cover. Be sure to remove the Pitot head cover
before flight.
7. Cabin and baggage doors should be locked when the airplane is
unattended.
