2-13. GROUND HANDLING.
2-14. GENERAL.
Ground handling covers essential information governing the handling of the airplane while on the
ground. This includes jacking, weighing, leveling, mooring, parking, towing and taxiing. When the
airplane is handled in the manner described in the following paragraphs, possible damage to the airplane
and its equipment will be minimized.
2-15. JACKING.
Jack the airplane to service the landing gear and as specified to perform other service operations.
Proceed as follows:
a.
Place the jacks under jack pads on the front wing spar. (Refer to Figure 2-4.)
b.
Attach the tail support to the tail skid. Place approximately 250 pounds of ballast on the base of the
tail support to hold down the tail.
CAUTION: BE SURE TO APPLY SUFFICIENT TAIL SUPPORT BALLAST; OTHERWISE THE
AIRPLANE WILL TIP FORWARD.
c.
Raise the jacks until all three wheels are clear of the surface.
2-16. WEIGHING. (Refer to Figure 2-5.)
For weighing purposes, place the airplane on scales as follows:
a.
Position a scale and ramp in front of each of the three wheels.
b.
Secure the scales from rolling forward and tow the airplane up onto the scales. (Refer to Towing,
Paragraph 2-21.)
c.
Remove the ramp so as not to interfere with the scales.
d.
If the airplane is to be weighed for weight and balance computations, level the airplane per
instructions given in paragraph 2-17.
2-17. LEVELING.
NOTE: Always level the airplane laterally first, then level the airplane longitudinally.
All configurations of the airplane are provided with a means for lateral and longitudinal leveling. The
airplane may be leveled while on jacks; during the weighing procedure while the wheels are on scales; or
while the wheels are on the ground. To level the airplane for purposes of weighing or rigging, the
following procedures may be used:
a.
To laterally level the airplane, place a spirit level across the baggage compartment floor along the
rear bulkhead (Refer to Figure 2-7.) and deflate the tire on the high side of the airplane or adjust
either jack until the bubble of the level is centered.
b.
To longitudinally level the airplane, partially withdraw the two leveling screws located immediately
below the left front side window. (Refer to Figure 2-6.) Place a spirit level on these screw heads and
deflate the nose wheel tire or adjust the jacks until the bubble of the level is centered.
