● NOTE ●
If airplane has been used from muddy airfields or in snow, check wheel wells to
make sure they are clean and not obstructed.
Check frequently all landing gear retraction mechanism components,
shock-absorbers, tires and brakes. This is particularly important for airplanes
used from hilly fields.
Improperly serviced or worn shock-absorbers may result in excessive loads
being transmitted to the airplane structure during ground operations. Without
passengers and baggages on board, the unpainted surface of the main gear
shock absorber tube must be visible about :
55 mm (2.17 in) of minimum height with half tank,
40 mm (1.57 in) of minimum height with full tanks.
