6.3.2 LEVELING
Have a set of calibrated weighing scales available. The
range should be 1000 lbs for each main and 250 lbs for
the tail. Zero the scales or record the tare, as appropriate.
1. Place the aircraft approximately in a flight level
attitude by supporting the tail wheel on a bench.
2. Place the aircraft on the calibrated weighing
scales.
3. Level the aircraft as follows:
Place a spirit level on the open door edge as
shown in Figure 6-1. Lower or raise the tail
until the aircraft is level. If necessary, this may
be accomplished by letting air out of the tires.
Place the level on the upper forward cross
tube located in the cabin just behind the
windshield, as shown in Figure 6-2. Center
the bubble to level the wings.
