Tie-Down; Main Wheel Jacking - Beechcraft Baron G58 Pilot Operating Handbook

Model G58

TIE-DOWN

It is advisable to nose the airplane into the wind. Three tie-
down lugs are provided; one on the lower side of each wing
and a third at the rear of the fuselage.
1. Install the control locks.
2. Chock the main wheels, fore and aft.
3. Using nylon line or chain of sufficient strength, secure
the airplane at the three points provided. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN; if the line at the rear of the fuselage is
excessively tight, the nose may rise and produce lift due
to the angle of attack of the wings.
4. Release the parking brake.
If high winds are anticipated, a vertical tail post should be
installed at the rear tie-down lug, and a tie-down line attached
to the nose gear.

MAIN WHEEL JACKING

Individual main wheels may be jacked by placing a floor jack
under the jacking point located under each axle.
Prior to jacking the airplane, ensure that an
unbalanced fuel condition does not exist.
Fuel should be distributed evenly in both
wings to prevent an unbalanced condition
which could cause the airplane to be unsta-
ble while on jacks.
1. Check the shock strut for proper inflation to prevent
damage to the landing gear door by the jack adapter and
to facilitate installation of the adapter.
