4. GROUND TOWING, PARKING AND MOORING
4.1 TOWING
CAUTION
When the a/c is moved on the ground, the Master Switch must
be turned ON until the a/c is parked.
To tow the aircraft it is necessary to use a metal stiff bar connected to the nose
gear.
WARNING
Do not turn nose wheel above 20° either side of center: great-
er steering angles can damage the wheel stop. The tow bar
must be removed before engines starting.
4.2 PARKING
General
Under normal weather conditions, the airplane may be parked and headed in a di-
rection that will facilitate servicing without regard to prevailing winds. Ensure
that it is sufficiently protected against adverse weather conditions and present no
danger to other aircraft.
Procedure
1. Position airplane on levelled surface, headed into the prevailing wind, if practical.
2. Engage parking brake and install control locks
3. Secure pilot control wheel by wrapping the seat belt around it.
Do not engage the parking brakes at low ambient
temperature; accumulation of moisture may cause
the brakes to freeze. In this case use wheel chocks.
In case of long time parking or overnight parking, it is recommended to moor the
a/c as shown on Para. 4.3.
CAUTION
Mooring is strongly recommended when the wind is more than 15
knots and the a/c is completely refuelled.
4.3 MOORING
The aircraft is moored to insure its immovability, protection, and security under
various weather conditions.
CAUTION
Mooring is strongly recommended when the wind is more than
15 knots and the a/c is completely refuelled.
