What does Door 16 provide?

Door 16 is specifically designed to serve as a tie-down point and jacking pad. This is crucial for ensuring the stability of the aircraft while it is on the ground, particularly when it is not in operation or during maintenance checks. The tie-down point allows the aircraft to be securely anchored to prevent movement caused by wind or other environmental factors. Additionally, the jacking pad facilitates safe and effective lifting of the aircraft when maintenance is required, allowing ground crews to perform necessary inspections and repairs. Understanding the function of Door 16 is important for maintaining safety and operational efficiency on the flight line.
