P96 Golf COSTRUZIONI AERONAUTICHE P96 Golf / 100 TECNAM LIGHT ANUAL S.r.l. GROUND HANDLING & SERVICE JACKING Given the light empty weight, lifting one of the main wheels can easily be accomplished even without the use of hydraulic jacks. It is in fact sufficient that while one person lifts one half-wing by acting on the spar immediately before the wingtip, another person places a suitable stand below the steel spring attachment.
