5.2.5.1 Jacking up the aircraft
In order to carry out various maintenance measures on the landing gear, the aircraft
must be jacked up. The following instructions should be followed to this end:
Nose wheel landing gear:
The nose wheel landing gear can be raised by weighing down the tail of the C42.
Before applying any weight, foam or a similar material should be laid under the tail
skid to protect the composite fuselage skin from scratching. Furthermore, something
must be prepared to weigh down the tail. For example, two full water canisters
attached to each other by a tension belt can be used. The tail can then be pushed
down to the ground and the weight attached.
Main landing gear:
2 people are required to jack up the main landing gear.
One person lifts the wing on the side of the wheel which
is to be jacked up while the other person pushes a
suitable wooden block under the wheel axle.

The aircraft may also be jacked up using a Y strut (Kny
fork) which is pushed under the strut-wing connections.
This method allows more comfortable access to the
landing gear. The fork can be ordered from COMCO
IKARUS GmbH.
