5. Install pitot tube cover(s), if available.
6. Secure ropes or chains of sufficiently strong tensile strength to
the wing tie-down fittings and secure to ground anchors.
7. Attach a rope or chain to the tail tie-down, and secure to a
ground anchor.
8. If additional security is desired, attach a rope (no chains or
cables) to the nose gear torque link and secure to a ground
anchor.
9. If dusty conditions exist, or the last flight of the day has been

10. To prevent the propeller from windmilling, install the propeller
anchor over a blade of the propeller and secure its anchor strap
around the nose gear or to the bracket located on the lower right
hand cowl.

JACKING

Several jack points or jacking locations are available depending on
whether a cargo pod is installed. A fuselage jack point directly below
the firewall and housed within the nose gear strut fairing is accessible
for nose gear jacking regardless of the installation of a cargo pod. Two
additional fuselage jack points are located at the main gear supports,
but are not accessible with the cargo pod installed. Their use is
generally reserved for maintenance such as main gear removal or
raising the entire airplane whenever the cargo pod is not installed.
Anytime the cargo pod is installed, if the main gear-to-fuselage fairings
are removed, jacks can be positioned adjacent to the sides of the cargo
pod and raised to engage the receptacle on the end of the jacks over
the head of the outboard bolt which secures the main gear attach
trunnion bearing cap (aft) on the left and right gear. These jacking
locations serve essentially the same purpose as the fuselage jack
points at the main gear supports. An additional jack point on each main
gear axle fitting is used primarily when the cargo pod is installed and it
is desired to jack a single main gear for tire replacement, etc. If desired,
jack stands with wing jack pads may be fabricated so that the front wing
spar at stations 141.2 or 155.9 on each wing may be used as jacking
locations. A tail jack must be used in conjunction with wing jacking.
