2. MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
A. Parking
(1) Temporary (See Figure 10-101)
(a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies.

Description P/N or Spec. Supplier Purpose

Tow Bar 50455-001 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 10-10)
(2) Long Term (See Figure 10-102)
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 10-10)

Note: Refer to 10-30 for procedures required for longer parking durations.

Description P/N or Spec. Supplier Purpose

Wheel Chocks - Any Source Prevent airplane move-

ment.

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 To ground airplane.

Rope - Any Source To 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) Set parking brake.

(d) Chock main gear wheels.
(e) 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 anti-
slip knot such as bowline to ensure security.
