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 fair-
ings. The use of chocks that are too large may damage
the fairings.
3 Drive stakes into the ground approximately three feet
outboard of each wing tip and to either side of tail wheel.
4 Tie a sufficiently strong rope to each wing tie-down ring
and anchor to the ground stakes. Allow a little slack in each
tie-down rope.
5 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.
6 Ensure that the canopy is closed waterproof and locked.
