    Leveling Procedures for Airplanes

    • Airplanes must be leveled longitudinally and laterally for weighing and rigging procedures.
    • Leveling can be performed:
      • While on jacks
      • During weighing with wheels on scales
      • When wheels are on the ground

    Lateral Leveling

    • Use a spirit level across the baggage compartment floor at the rear bulkhead.
    • If the bubble is not centered:
      • Deflate the tire on the higher side of the airplane.
      • Alternatively, adjust the jack until the bubble centers.

    Longitudinal Leveling

    • Locate the two leveling screws beneath the left front side window.
    • Partially withdraw these screws to prepare for leveling.
    • Use a spirit level on the screw heads for accuracy.
    • If the bubble is not centered:
      • Deflate the nose wheel tire.
      • Adjust the jacks as necessary to achieve a centered bubble.
