1. Set the parking brake or chock the wheels of the aircraft.
2. Inspect the condition of wing fold joint mechanism and ensure that the pins and sockets are clean
and free of wear.
3. Ensure red wing lock handle is seated in the down (90 degrees) position.
4. Place forward hand on wing tip handle, rear hand underneath the trailing edge of the wingtip.
5. Using lower hand, release the release pin and lower wing to carry position.
NOTE: Be prepared to hold the weight of the wing when the release pin is
pushed. Failure to hold the wing up may result in the wingtip
contacting the ground, causing structural damage.

Seawings™ platform with flap trailing edge.

seat wing.
