The main jacking points are:


• both sides of fuselage - frame 26,

• bottom centre of fuselage - frame 45.

All jacking points have a 3/4" spherical radius ball-end pad to fit the
concave spherical socket on the lifting jacks.
Each adaptor at frame 26 is secured to the fuselage by 6 bolts, the
adaptor at frame 45 is a push fit in its socket. (This is a permanent
fixture on the aircraft)

For Jacking specifications (max/ min weight) refer to the


manufacturers Aircraft Maintenance Manual AMM.

All 3 jacking points must be raised/ lowered simultaneously; landing


gear locking pins must be fitted when raising or lowering the a/c.
The main wheels must clear the ground by at least 11.5", and the
nose wheel by at least 21.5" when jacking complete a/c.
When lowering the a/c ensure that the a/c remains level, once the tail
jack is unloaded the jack must be moved clear of the a/c because if
the main jacks have a difference in lowering rate it is possible for the
tail jack to foul the a/c structure thus causing damage.
JACKING COMPLETE AIRCRAFT
Main Wheel Jacking

WARNING: BEFORE RAISING THE AIRCRAFT MAKE CERTAIN THAT


THE C OF G OF THE AIRFRAME IS FORWARD OF THE DATUM
POSITION. IF THE NOSE LEG TENDS TO LIFT WHILST JACKING, ADD
WEIGHT FORWARD OF THE C OF G AND PREVENT PERSONNEL ON
AIRCRAFT MOVING AFT OF C OF G.

This method is restricted to the raising of one main gear at a time and must
not be used in conjunction with any other form of jacking or trestling.

Maximum jacking AUW is the Maximum Ramp Weight.

Jacks must satisfy the requirements listed in the aircraft Maintenance Manual.
.
To jack a main wheel ensure brakes off, all gear locking pins fitted, the nose
wheel and opposite side main wheels chocked fore and aft.

There are two methods of main wheel jacking:


Method 1
Locate a pillar jack or cantilever jack on the jacking pad between the main
wheels at the rear of the wheel lever. Extend the jack until the wheels are off
the ground by about:
Pillar Jack ........................... 1 " (25 mm)
Lever Jack............................ 4" (100mm)
This height allows the outboard main wheel to be removed and rolled forward
clear of the jack under the main gear door link rod.

Method 2
The equipment required for this method is:
- Main wheel jacking adaptor.
- Support chain.
- A pillar jack or cantilever jack.

Fit the support chain between the two lugs on top of the rear end of the lever
and into the end of the direction crank tube, securing both ends with quick
release pins.
Position the jacking adaptor with the hooks under the wheel lever pivot pin
and the pad against the front of the leg, extend the jack until it is in contact
with the jacking pad on the adaptor, continue jacking until the wheels are
about 1" off the ground.
When finished, and lowering the wheels, do not allow the adaptor to fall from
the leg. After servicing completed, ensure brakes off, lower main wheels.
Nose Wheel Jacking

This form of jacking must not be used in conjunction with any other form
of jacking or trestling. The nose wheels can be jacked at weights up to
maximum ramp weight.

Jacks must satisfy the requirements as per the aircraft Maintenance


Manual.

To jack the nose wheel, make sure that the brakes are off, the main
wheels are chocked fore and aft and all gear locking pins are fitted.
Centralise the nose wheel steering.

There are two methods of nose wheel jacking:

Method 1
Locate a pillar jack or cantilever jack on the jacking pad between the
nose wheels at the underside of the shock absorber. Extend the jack
until the wheels are off the ground by about:
Pillar jack ............................1" (25mm)
Lever jack ........................... 4" (100mm)

Method 2
Locate the nose wheel jacking adaptor at the front of the shock absorber
with the hooks engaged under the towing lugs, extend jack to engage
the adaptor jacking pad, continue jacking until wheels are about 1" off
the ground.

When servicing is completed, make sure brakes are off and lower nose
wheel.
ATA 08 Levelling and Weighing

Refer to the Weight and Balance manual and the Aircraft Maintenance
Manual for weight and balance data.

Normal levelling indication is performed by use of the attitude indicator


located on the underside of the pressure floor panel in the right hand
landing gear bay; for more accurate levelling the cabin seat rails are
used.

For major rigging checks a more exact form of levelling indication using
sighting rods and a microptic level must be employed.

Level for normal operations - using the aircraft attitude indicator

Level Aircraft:
• Jack the aircraft on three tripod jacks.
• Level the aircraft by adjusting on one main jack and the tail jack
until the bubble in the attitude indicator is in the centre of the
grid. Each graduation on the face of the indicator is equal to 1/2
degree. Lock the jacks on completion of adjustment.

Level for normal operations - using cabin seat rails:

• Jack complete aircraft.


• Place straight edge across seat rails at frame 29, level aircraft
laterally, using an inclinometer.
• Place straight edge on a seat rail between frames 29 and 32
level longitudinally.
• Check lateral level.

Fit sighting rods (WING INBOARD FRONT) at the inboard leading edge
position of both wings (WLI and WRI).

Make certain that rods are screwed home so that abutment flanges are
in firm contact with the face of the attachment sockets.
Position a microptic level in front of the aircraft in position shown so that
both wing sighting rods can be viewed.
Level and adjust height of microptic level to the height of the datum mark
on one wing rod. Swing the level in a horizontal plane to sight the other
wing sighting rod.
Adjust on main jack to align the datum mark on this rod with the centre
of graticule on the microptic level. Repeat this procedure until the datum
marks on both wing rods are aligned.

Lock the jacks.

Position the microptic level in front of one wing tip and in line with the
front end of the outboard engine so that fuselage sighting rods can be
viewed.
Level and adjust height of microptic level to height of datum mark on
sighting rod at F2. Swing the level in a horizontal plane to sight rod at
F3. Adjust tail jack to approximately align datum mark on rod at F3 with
centre of graticule on the microptic level, taking into account the relative
movement of the other rod.

Adjust height of microptic level as required and repeat the procedure


until the datum marks on rods at F2 and F3 are aligned. Lock the tail
jack.

Check the lateral level.

ATA 09 Towing & Taxiing

TOWBAR INSTALLATION
ATA 09 Towing and Taxiing

The aircraft can be towed or pushed using a specialist towbar.

In an emergency, when the use of a towbar is impracticable, a towing bridle


may be employed to tow the aircraft backwards.

The tractor employed for towing must have a tractive effort of at least 6000 Ib
in normal or wet conditions, and should have fluid transmission.

When ground icing conditions prevail it may be necessary to couple two


tractors in tandem.
The recommended towing speed for the aircraft under normal condition is 5
mph.

A competent operator must be positioned on the flight deck to ride & operate
the aircraft brakes, especially should the shear pin fail.

Efficient liaison between tractor driver and brakes must be established before
the aircraft undergoes any towing operation.

The aircraft battery may be used to supply the low intensity navigation lights.

Recommended Procedure

Tow or push aircraft.


CAUTION: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SELF-CENTERING CAMS
WITHIN THE NOSE GEAR LEG DO NOT TOW IF TOW BAR-MOUNTED
GAUGE, CAN BE INSERTED OR IF NOSE GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER
EXTENSION IS MORE THAN 12 IN. (30.48cm).

Ensure that the nose and main gear locking pins are fitted.

Fit tow bar.

Couple towbar to the tractor and retract towbar wheels by opening the release
valve on the towbar handpump (thus lowering the towbar).

Station a competent brake operator in the flight compartment, in the left hand
seat and fully close passenger and service doors.

Position observers at each wing tip, and at the rear of the aircraft, if it is being
pushed.

CAUTION: ENSURE ADEQUATE OVERHEAD CLEARANCE.

Establish suitable liaison between brake operator and tractor driver.


Energise the aircraft busbars (to operate motorised park break valve).

Servicing
Refuelling
Fuel is contained in three integral fuel tanks, one in each wing and one in the
fuselage centre section. A refuel/defuel station, situated in the underside of
the right wing leading edge, consists of a standard fuel coupling, an off-load
valve for defuelling and transfer between tanks, and a refuel control panel.

(1) Pressure refuelling is governed from the control panel; automatically by


using the load preselect, or manually by use of the tank refuelling valve
override switches.

In the event of refuel cut-off failure the system is vented to atmosphere via a
NACA duct located in each wing tip.

Overwing gravity refuelling points are provided for each tank.

Magnetic fuel level indicators enable direct tank fuel level readings to be taken
from the wing tanks only.

Defuelling

(1) Selection of the off-load valve to the open position connects the main fuel
feed line to the refuel gallery. Fuel is then off-loaded by selection of the
appropriate common feed and crossfeed valves, and use of the fuel feed
pumps. The centre tank is off-loaded by selecting fuel transfer to the wings
with the relevant wing fuel pumps set to ON.

Fuel transfer

(1) Selection of the off-load valve to the open position enables fuel to be
transferred between tanks by use of the appropriate common feed, refuel and
crossfeed valves, and operation of the fuel feed pumps.

Selection of the TRANSFER switch to either AUTO or OPEN, will allow fuel to
be transferred from the centre tank to the wing tanks. A squat switch inhibits
the use of AUTO TRANSFER on the ground.

Microbiological Contamination

(1) Fuel tanks may be at risk of developing microbiological contamination. For


the procedures to reduce the risk of contamination and to test for the
presence of contamination using the Microbmonitor2 or the Conidia
Bioscience FUELSTAT resinae fuel test kits see (Ref. AMM 28-11-00, page
