DISCLAMER::
Please note the information on this site can be in total error. The information comes from a lot of sources and was arrived at by total luck in some instances. For instance, after changing from a 60-LB battery to a 25LB battery an A&P must calculate a new weight and balance and have a 337 approved for the aircraft. Even if you have an experimental aircraft this must be done. The pressures suggested for the landing gear struts are from Frank Strickler. The Maintenance Manual clearly states that you first establish the correct level of hydraulic fluid and then inflate the struts with 682 lb/in2 nitrogen. This is done with the plane on jacks. Frank used 875 lbs. but this was with the plane sitting on the gear, not on the jacks. There is much more distracting advice on the page and short of shutting down the web site I do not know how to eliminate it.
