d. Spoilers shall be deployed.
TIE-DOWN ROPES AND STRAPS
17. Tie-
down ropes and straps shall have an average minimum strength of 2700 lb. Whether
rope or strap, the physical pull of a single pilot is sufficient for applying tension. Use of
carabiner style hooks is preferred over open face hooks since wing rocking during heavy winds
can cause open style hooks to release. Use of ratchets to tighten straps or ropes can lead to
over-tensioning due to mechanical advantage. Use of ratchets should be restricted to very
experienced crews.

USE OF OPEN-AIR TRAILERS
18. When using open-air trailers, refer to the 2-33 Sailplane Flight-Erection-Maintenance
Manual. When loading, confirm all checks are completed by using Annex B Glider Open-Air
Trailer Loading Checklist.

ERECTION PROCEDURE
19. Refer to the 2-33 Sailplane Flight-Erection-Maintenance Manual for assembly.
Considering that the glider may be disassembled and assembled rather frequently, the number of
bolted attachments is kept to a minimum. However, all of the attachment fittings may be made
with the appropriate AN bolts, nuts and cotter pins specified in the maintenance manual. The LS-
1 safety pin is an acceptable alternate for the No. 1 and 2 commercial safety pins.
NOTE
Carefully consider how winds will interact with wings and fuselage
during assembly and disassembly.

These signatures do not have to be done by an AME but by persons
duly qualified for elementary work and independent checks by the
