CESSNA MODEL T303 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
GENERAL. This section shows the aircraft dimensions, control surface areas, water lines, buttock lines,
station designations, and access doors. If these dimensions are used for constructing a hangar for
computing clearances, remember that such factors as nose gear strut inflation. tire pressures, tire
sizes, and load distribution may result in some dimensions, that are consigerably different from those
listed.
The airplane is divided into raference points in inches. These reference points provide a means of
Quickly identifying the location of components. Three axes are used as reference points.
The following terms are used for the reference points:
FS - Fuselage Station is a hor zontal reference designation starting in front of the nose of the aircraft.
CFS - Canted Fuselage Stations are Stations tilted at an angle to water lines; greater or less than 90°
(degrees).
WS - Wing Stations are measured outboard from the center of the fuselage to the wing tip, along the
wing
‘WL - Water Line is a vertical reference designation measured parallel to the ground.
BL - Buttock Line .s a horizontal reference designation starzing at tne aircraft center tine. Rightor leftis
added to indicate the direction from aircraft center line (RBL, LBL).
CBL - Canted Buttock Lines are Buttock Lines tilted at an angle to the fuselage centerline.
ASS - Rear Spar Stations are horizontal reference designations perpendicular to the rear spar.
NBL - Reference points that apply to engine nacelle buttock lines,CESSNA MODEL T303 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
