Positioning multiple airplanes into a hangar is not a simple task. Only half of the challenge is where the airplane ends up.
The path that the airplane takes, and the path that the wingtips and the tail sweeps through are critical.
We can provide an accurate actual path that the airplane’s landing gear needs to follow for obstacle clearance.
Cessna 182 Between Sheds into a Hangar
The path of the airplane being moved into the hangar needed to be reviewed in the area between the two buildings.
The positioning of the airplane also needed to be reviewed to ensure that the wingtips cleared the door and that the tail did not hit the center column.
Additional investigation can be undertaken if there are additional vehicles or obstacles that need to be avoided
Cessna T210 and Cessna 340A in Shared Hangar
In this unique hangar layout, there are two hangar doors along two adjacent walls. One airplane faces East, while the other airplane faces South.
There is very tight clearance between the Cessna 340 and the hangar walls.
In order for there to be enough room for the Cessna T210 the tail of the 340 needs to be rotated slightly to the North. Additionally the tail of the T210 needs to be rotated slightly to the East. This provides critical clearance between the trailing edge of the pilots wing on the T210 and the elevator of the 340.
Again accurate paths and final positions of the landing gear is determined.
