Question 1

Most aircraft are designed with jack points located so that _____ jacks are required for jacking. Some light aircraft may contain a tie-down ring at the rear of the fuselage.

Answer 1

3 or 4

Question 2

An aircraft must be in the proper configuration for jacking. Specific doors may be required to be closed and certain stressed panels may need to be installed to provide the fuselage vessel with sufficient strength to be raised on jacks without causing structural damage. The same is true when hoisting the aircraft.
