If necessary, make the tie-down points in the mooring area:
− On a hard surface, use the mooring blocks
− On a fine soil base, use the spike pickets
− On a clay soil or rock surface, use the screw pickets.
Note
For the wing tie-down points, the tie-down ropes are to be at an angle of
approximately 45°, at the tail tie-down point a maximum angle of 25° to the ground.
Moor the aircraft, refer to Fig. 1-3-1:
1 Attach the ropes to the wing tie-down points and the ground tie-down points.
Note
Use bowline knots, square knots or locked slip knots. Do not use plain slip knots.
2 For the nose landing gear leg, wind the rope around the leg once, then attach the rope to
the tie-down points.
3 Attach the ropes to the tail jack point and the ground tie-down points.
4 If required, install the tail strut, refer to Fig. 1-3-2.
5 If not installed, install the propeller boots on the propeller blades.
6 Attach the propeller boot cover to the nose landing gear to prevent the engine wind-
milling.
7 If not installed, install the aircraft covers and blanks.
