Jacking

FOR A/C ALL

1. General
This pageblock gives you the procedure to do:

Wheel jacking

Jacking of complete aircraft

2. Wheel jacking
REF. FIG. 201, REF. FIG. 202, REF. FIG. 203
A. General
Jack pads are a part of the base of the main and nose-gear shock-struts. They are used to lift
one side of the aircraft to change a wheel. Alternatively, you can change a wheel by moving the
aircraft up onto a ramp with the serviceable wheel on the ramp. You must then put chocks fore
and aft under the wheels of the other landing gears. The dimensions of a ramp for ground
clearance for a wheel change are:

Height 5 in. (127 mm)

Width 10 in. (254 mm)

A gradient not exceeding 15.

B. Equipment
(1) Jack, wheel axle, ITEM ME-7-4925 or equivalent - 15 433 lbs (7000 kg) minimum capacity.
(2) Nose and main wheel chocks.
C. Material - None
D. Lifting

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE GROUND SAFETY PINS OF THE NOSE AND MAIN LANDING GEARS
ARE INSTALLED.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE PARKING BRAKE IS OFF.

(1) Position a jack between the wheels on the side of the aircraft to be lifted. Make sure the
jack correctly aligns with the jack pad on the base of shock strut.
(2) Close the release valve of the jack and pressurize the jack until it lightly engages with the
jack adapter.
(3) Chock the wheels of the other two landing gears.
(4) Slowly lift the aircraft and, at the same time, turn the jack lock ring so it stays close to the
locked position. When the wheels are clear of the ground by the amount necessary, make
sure the lock ring is tight against the jack body.

E. Lowering
(1) Extend the jack a small amount to loosen its lock ring.
(2) Slowly open the release valve on the jack to permit the jack ram to retract with the weight
of the aircraft until the wheels touch the ground. Let the ram retract more until it is clear
of the jack pad.
(3) Remove the jack and put chocks under the wheels.

3. Jacking of comlete aircraft
REF. FIG. 204, REF. FIG. 205
A. General
You must lift the complete aircraft at three jack points on the airframe. There is one jack at the
bottom of the forward fuselage and one under the inboard section of each wing. The fuselage
jack point is at STA 215.0 and the wing jack points are at WS 80.7 (RH and LH sides).
B. Equipment
(1) Stand, tail, ITEM HST915085.
(2) Jacking point adaptors, three of., ITEM HST915086
(3) Nose lifting jack TA02-0540-0100 or equivalent - 10 000 lbs (4536 kg) minimum capacity.
(4) Wing lifting jacks (two required) TA02-1248-0100 or equivalent - 24 000 lbs (10 886 kg)
minimum capacity.
If you must lift the aircraft when the two tyres and shock strut of a gear are flat, use:
(5) Jack, wheel axle, ITEM ME-7-4925 or equivalent - 15 433 lbs (7000 kg) minimum capacity.
C. Job Set-Up
FOR A/C ALL
D. Lifting

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO LIFT THE AIRCRAFT IF IT WEIGHS MORE THAN 22 000 LBS (10 000
KG) (AIRCRAFT OPERATING EMPTY WEIGHT PLUS FUEL).

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE GROUND SAFETY PINS OF THE NOSE AND MAIN LANDING GEARS
ARE INSTALLED.

CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT THE AIRCRAFT OUTSIDE THE HANGAR UNLESS YOU HAVE NO
ALTERNATIVE. THERE MUST BE A HARD, LEVEL SURFACE WHEN YOU LIFT THE
COMPLETE AIRCRAFT. REMOVE LOOSE CARGO, TOOLS OR EQUIPMENT FROM THE
AIRCRAFT BEFORE YOU LIFT IT. MAKE SURE THE JACK ADAPTERS ARE INSTALLED
AT THE TWO WING POSITIONS AND AT THE ONE FUSELAGE NOSE POSITION AND
THAT ALL THREE ARE FULLY TIGHTENED.

(1) Install the jack adapters at STA 215.0 and WS 80.7 (RH and LH sides).
(2) Install the jacks under each jack adapter. Close the release valve of each jack and
pressurize it until it lightly engages with the jack adapter.

NOTE: There must be one person to operate each jack. Lubricate the jacking point
adapters if possible before you lift the aircraft.

(3) Slowly operate all three jacks at the same time. And while the jacks extend, turn the jack
lock rings so they stay near to the locked position. When the wheels are clear of the
ground by the necessary amount, make sure the lock rings are tight against the jack body.

0.25 in. (6.50 mm) from the jack body until the weight of the aircraft is fully on the
landing gear.
(4) Put the parking brake on and put the chocks under the wheels.
(5) Fully lower the jacks to clear the jack adapters and remove the jacks.
