or long periods of time such as Permanent or Temporary Tie-down. Using the
system at Item B will decrease the angle of attack and help to diminish the lift
forces outlined in Figure 6-1.

aircraft into and out of tie-down
areas without risk of wing tip contact.
The clearance also provides some
protection in the case of an adjacent
aircraft partially breaking loose from
its tie-down.

PERMANENT TIE-DOWNS
14. When required to use Permanent Tie-Downs, the following standard shall be met:
a. The glider tail shall be supported on a stand that is high enough to reduce the
angle of attack as much as possible. See Figure 6-2 B. Consideration should
also be given to preventing the tail from moving sideways once on the tail stand;
