2-9. WALKWAY, HANDHOLD AND STEP. The walkway is made of a non-skid compound applied to paper
and bonded to the wing surface. A fixed handhold is located on the right side of the fuselage near the rear
window. A step is available as optional equipment and is installed just aft of the trailing edge of the right flap.
2-10. GROUND HANDLING.
2-11. INTRODUCTION TO GROUND HANDLING. Ground handling covers all essential information
governing the handling of the airplane while on the ground. This includes jacking, weighing, leveling mooring,
parking, towing and taxiing. When the airplane is handled in the manner described in the following
paragraphs, possible damage to the airplane and its equipment will be prevented.
CAUTION
When moving airplane forward by hand avoid pushing on the trailing edge
of the ailerons for this will result in an out of trim condition.
2-12. JACKING. Jacking the airplane is necessary to service the landing gear and to perform other service
operations. Proceed as follows:
a. Place jacks under jack pads on the front wing spar. (Refer to Figure 2-6.)
NOTE
A jacking point on the airplane is also provided on the underside of the
fuselage directly behind the nose gear actuating cylinder. This may be used
along with the wing jack points to raise the airplane, or alone it may be used
to raise the front end.
b. Attach the tail support to the tail skid. Place approximately 250 pounds of ballast on the base of the tail
support to hold down the tail.
CAUTION
Be sure to apply sufficient tail support ballast; otherwise the airplane will
tip forward.
c. Raise the jacks until all three wheels are clear of the surface.
