1 PARKING AND MOORING. DESCRIPTION This chapter provides instructions necessary to park or moor the airplane in any of the probable conditions to which it may be subjected. Maintenance practices necessary to prepare the aircraft for parking and mooring are included. Three fixed mooring points are provided on the airplane. Two are located on the underside of the wings and a third is located on the underside of the empennage directly below the horizontal stabilizer. Page 5 Jun 00

2 . MAINTENANCE PRACTICES A. Parking () Temporary (See Figure ) (a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies. Description P/N or Spec. Supplier Purpose Tow Bar Cirrus Design Tow the airplane. Wheel Chocks - Any Source Prevent airplane movement. (b) Position airplane on level surface headed into wind. CAUTION: Do not set parking brake during cold weather, when accumulated moisture may freeze brakes, or when brakes are overheated. (c) Set parking brake. (d) Chock main gear wheels. (e) In gusty or stormy weather, moor the airplane. (Refer to ) () Long Term (See Figure ) If the airplane is parked for long periods of time, danger of wheel bearing corrosion exists. To prevent this, the airplane should be moved by pushing or towing. To prevent flat spots and other deformations to tires, the wheels should be periodically re-positioned as described above. The frequency of the movement depends on the weather conditions. Movement should be performed daily in cold weather and weekly in warm weather. (a) For long term and severe weather parking, follow instructions as outlined above, except use multiple tie-down lines. (Refer to ) Note: Refer to 0-30 for procedures required for longer parking durations. Page 5 Dec 04

4 B. Mooring () Temporary and Mild Weather Conditions (See Figure ) (a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies. Description P/N or Spec. Supplier Purpose Wheel Chocks - Any Source Prevent airplane movement. Inlet Cover - Any Source Prevent entry of moisture and/or foreign particles. Pitot Tube Cover - Any Source Prevent entry of moisture and/or foreign particles. Static Ground Cable - Any Source Ground airplane. Rope - Any Source Tie down wing and tail. (b) Position airplane on level surface and headed into the wind. CAUTION: Do not set parking brake during cold weather, when accumulated moisture may freeze brakes, or when brakes are overheated. (c) (d) (e) Set parking brake. Chock main gear wheels. Connect mooring lines to mooring wings. Note: During gusty or high wind conditions, mooring lines may require periodic tightening to prevent excessive movement of airplane. Use a secure antislip knot such as bowline to ensure security. (f) Install pitot tube cover and induction air inlet cover to prevent entry of foreign materials. (g) Attach static ground cable to tie-down ring on the wing and the ground anchor. () Long Term and Severe Weather Conditions (See Figure ) CAUTION: For aircraft operated in Russia or Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Countries: The aircraft must be brought into a hanger if wind speed exceeds 65 knots. (a) Follow instructions as outlined in Chapter 0-0 except use multiple tie-down lines. Page 4 5 Jun 00
