This section provides the procedures recommended for a
normal tie-down of the aircraft.
Proper tie-down procedure is the best precaution against
damage to the aircraft by gusty or strong winds. To tie-down
the aircraft securely, proceed as follows:
1. Head the aircraft into the wind
2. Place chocks fore and aft of each main wheel.
N O T I C E When chocking the wheels, ensure that the chocks used
are not too large to come in contact with the wheel
farings. The use of chocks that are too large may dam-
age the farings.
3. Drive stakes into the ground approximately three feet
outboard of each wing tip and to either side of tail wheel.
4. Install one tie-down ring in each wing tip rib.
5. Tie a sufficiently strong rope to each wing tie-down ring
and anchor to the ground stakes. Allow a little slack in each
tiedown rope.
6. Tie the center of the rope to the tail wheel fork and anchor
the rope ends to the ground stakes at either side of the tail
wheel.
7. Ensure that the canopy is closed waterproof and locked.
