Jet Craft Aviation Pilatus Jack Pad Kit - JCPC12-GSK-3582
The Jet Craft Aviation JCPC12-GSK-3582 - Pilatus Jack Pad Kit is an aircraft specific jack pad set designed to create a secure, correctly sized interface between your aircraft jack and the approved lifting points on the Pilatus airframe. These jack pad adaptors help distribute load correctly during lifting, reducing the risk of point damage, jack slippage, and maintenance delays during inspections, tire and brake work, gear swings, and scheduled hangar events.
Jet Craft Aviation builds precision, OEM equivalent aircraft maintenance tooling focused on safety, accuracy, and repeatability. For business aviation operators, MROs, FBOs, and flight departments, the right jack pads are a core part of safe aircraft jacking procedures. Outside aviation, similar jack adapter concepts are used by industrial maintenance teams wherever a controlled lifting interface is required.
Kit contents
- Compact protective storage case for organized transport and FOD control
- Aircraft specific nose and main jack pad adaptors sized for the designated jacking points
- Three Remove Before Flight flags for positive visual control
Features and benefits
- Engineered for Pilatus fitment to align with the aircraft jacking geometry and contact surfaces.
- Corrosion resistant construction intended for long service life in hangar and line maintenance environments.
- Provides positive engagement at the jack point to improve stability and reduce the chance of pad walkout during lift.
- Helps protect sensitive structural areas by keeping the jack load where the OEM intended.
- Supports faster setup for routine maintenance events by keeping the correct adaptors staged and labeled.
How it is used
Install the correct nose and main jack pads at the designated jacking points to match the aircraft receptacle and the jack head interface. Lift the aircraft only in accordance with the Aircraft Maintenance Manual using properly rated tripod or axle jacks and approved safety stands. Always verify correct pad selection, orientation, and full seating before applying load, then monitor for movement as weight transfers to the jacks.
Safety and compliance notes
- Confirm jacking procedures, lift points, and required safety equipment in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual before use.
- Use a flat, level surface and properly rated jacks, safety stands, and wheel chocks.
- Inspect the jack pads for damage, deformation, and contamination prior to each use. Remove from service if compromised.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The JCPC12-GSK-3582 Pilatus Jack Pad Kit is engineered to fit the jacking points on Pilatus PC-12, PC-24, and U-28A aircraft. These pads match the designated OEM jack hardpoints to ensure secure lifting during maintenance or inspections. Always confirm compatibility with the specific aircraft’s maintenance manual before use.
Aircraft-specific jack pads, like the JCPC12-GSK-3582, ensure the load is applied precisely where the airframe is designed to handle it, reducing the risk of structural damage. Generic pads may not match the geometry of Pilatus jack points, leading to instability or jack slippage. Correct pads improve both safety and maintenance efficiency.
The JCPC12-GSK-3582 kit comes with nose and main jack pad adapters, a compact protective storage case, and “Remove Before Flight” flags for positive visual control. The case helps keep everything organized and protected from FOD when not in use. These accessories make setup and teardown smoother for ground crews.
These jack pads provide a precise interface between the aircraft’s jack points and the jack itself, helping distribute load evenly and prevent pad walkout or slippage as weight transfers. Proper engagement lowers the risk of sudden shifts during jacking, safeguarding both the aircraft and personnel. Always monitor pad positioning throughout the lift.
Yes! The included “Remove Before Flight” flags act as visual indicators that jack pads are installed. They remind technicians to remove the pads before returning the aircraft to service, helping prevent accidental flight with jacking gear still in place. This small feature significantly enhances operational safety.
The JCPC12-GSK-3582 jack pads are built with corrosion-resistant materials, suitable for repeated use in demanding hangar and flight-line environments. The robust construction helps retain precise dimensions over time, ensuring continued secure jack engagement. Proper storage between uses also maximizes longevity.
While the kit is designed for standard tripod or axle jacks, it must be paired with appropriately rated jacks that meet the aircraft’s weight and lifting requirements. Using undersized or mismatched jacks can compromise stability and safety. Always reference the aircraft AMM for recommended jack types and capacities.
Before each use, visually inspect the jack pads for wear, deformation, or contamination, such as dirt or corrosion. Cracks or compromised geometry can prevent secure contact and warrant immediate removal from service. Consistent pre-use checks help maintain safety and performance.
Yes. Properly matched jack pads help keep lifting forces on reinforced structural hardpoints and away from sensitive skin panels. This precise engagement significantly reduces the risk of dents, scratches, or stress on fuselage areas not designed to carry a load. Using correct pads is essential to aircraft integrity during maintenance.
Storing the kit in its protective case helps safeguard the jack pads from environmental contaminants and physical damage between uses. Organized storage also prevents the loss of small parts, such as flags, and ensures quick access when needed. A clean, complete kit supports efficient and safe jacking operations.
