parking between flights and the overnight stop. In case of prolonged
parking, or parking under extremely adverse weather conditions, the
assistance of a maintenance technician is required.
PREPARATION
Make sure there is a minimum distance in relation to other parked
airplane so as to permit airplane movement, further assuring that there
is a minimum distance of 4.5 meters between the APU´s exhaust port
and an adjacent airplane fuel tank vent.
The gust lock must be in the locked position whenever the airplane is
on the ground, except for flight controls checks.
NOTE: - The airplane must be sheltered in a hangar when there are
wind speeds higher than 50 knots (for the mechanical gust
lock system) or above 65 knots (for the electromechanical
gust lock system).
- If the airplane is exposed to wind gusts with the gust lock in
the unlocked (FREE) position or the airplane is exposed to
winds exceeding the limit specified for each gust lock system,
an inspection according to TASK 05-50-04-200-802-A (AMM)
should be performed.
PARKING
Normal parking is performed according to the procedure below:
− Make sure that the safety pins are installed in each landing gear.
CAUTION: IF THE RELATED LANDING GEAR SAFETY PINS ARE
NOT INSTALLED, INJURY TO PEOPLE AND/OR
DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE/EQUIPMENT MAY
OCCUR.
NOTE: Before parking the airplane, move it approximately three
meters in a straight line to remove all torsional stresses applied
to landing gear components and tires during a turn.
− Ground the airplane.
− If there is ice or snow in the parking area, put mat, thick sand or
other applicable material under the tires, to prevent them from
