When inspecting b4 stand tow bar for correct safety wire installation what precautions must be followed?
Ensure the safety wire is not wrapped around the stand lifting mechanism bar. If it is safety wire may separate upon adjustment of platform height, which could allow the tow bar to fall into the prop arc.
