CS 25.519 Jacking and tie-down provisions

(a)General. The aeroplane must be designed to withstand the limit load conditions resulting from the static ground load conditions of sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph and, if applicable, sub-paragraph (c) of this paragraph at the most critical combinations of aeroplane weight and centre of gravity. The maximum allowable load at each jack pad must be specified.

(b)Jacking. The aeroplane must have provisions for jacking and must withstand the following limit loads when the aeroplane is supported on jacks:

(1)For jacking by the landing gear at the maximum ramp weight of the aeroplane, the aeroplane structure must be designed for a vertical load of 1·33 times the vertical static reaction at each jacking point acting singly and in combination with a horizontal load of 0·33 times the vertical static reaction applied in any direction.

(2)For jacking by other aeroplane structure at maximum approved jacking weight:

(i)The aeroplane structure must be designed for a vertical load of 1·33 times the vertical reaction at each jacking point acting singly and in combination with a horizontal load of 0·33 times the vertical static reaction applied in any direction.

(ii)The jacking pads and local structure must be designed for a vertical load of 2·0 times the vertical static reaction at each jacking point, acting singly and in combination with a horizontal load of 0·33 times the vertical static reaction applied in any direction.

(c)Tie-down. If tie-down points are provided, the main tie-down points and local structure must withstand the limit loads resulting from a 120 km/h (65-knot) horizontal wind from any direction.
