10-20 MOORING
General
The aircraft is moored to insure its immovability, protection, and security under
various weather conditions.
CAUTION
Procedure
1. Position airplane on levelled surface and headed into the prevailing wind,
if practical.
2. Center nose wheel and engage parking brake and/or use the wheel chocks.
3. Assure that flaps are retracted.
4. Electrically ground airplane, by connecting ground cable to the engine muffle.
5. Close and lock canopy
6. Secure tie-down cables to the wings and tail cone tie-down rings at approximately 45
degree with respect to the ground.
Mooring is strongly recommended when the wind is more than 10knots and the
a/c is completely refueled.
Do not engage the parking brakes at low ambient temperature, when an
accumulation of moisture may cause the brakes to freeze, or when they
become hot from severe use. In this case use wheel chocks.
