TASK INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pull downward on the tip lock latch to remove it from the detent position and rotate the latch
approximately 180°.
2. Grasp the tip and slide it away from main horizontal tail until the cylindrical spar clears the struc-
ture.
3. Support the horizontal tail tip on a soft protective surface.
4. Two retaining pins protrude from the surface of the tip’s root rib. Each pin has flats to engage a
1/8 in open-end wrench. Remove a pin using a wrench to rotate the pin as one would a bolt or
stud. Ensure that the wrench fits securely and turn the pin carefully to avoid rounding off the flats.
