B. Moving Backward
By following a simple procedure it is very easy to move the airplane backwards.
CAUTION

CAUTION
Do not push on control surfaces!
1. Push down with one hand on the aft section of the fuselage near the vertical
stabilizer, to lift the nose wheel.
2. Push back on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer, close to its center.
Using this technique the aircraft can easily be turned and pushed backward. If additional
assistance is required, a second person may push on the leading edge of the wings.
8.4.2. Parking
For short time parking, the airplane must be positioned in a headwind direction, the parking
brake must be engaged, the wing flaps must be in the retracted position and the wheels must be
chocked.
For extended and unattended parking, as well as in unpredictable wind conditions, the airplane
must be anchored to the ground or placed in a hangar.
When parking the airplane, the flight controls lock, P/N 20-1000-01-00 must be installed and
pitot static probe cover and stall warning plug should be fitted (refer to Chapter 7, Aircraft
Description).
