Tronair 03A5822C0000 Tail Stand with Alarm – Select Bombardier & Dassault Aircraft

The Tronair 03A5822C0000 tail stand requires strict adherence to safety guidelines to protect both personnel and aircraft. Operators should avoid placing hands or feet near pinch points while raising or lowering the extension, and the locking pin must always be fully secured. Safety glasses are required, and exposure to the alarm’s 85 dB sound should be minimized to prevent hearing damage.

The alarm system can be tested by depressing the plunger switch for at least two seconds, which should trigger the loud pulsating alarm. A load test can also be performed by applying 100 to 150 pounds of force to the cradle, simulating real-use conditions. The unit features a low-battery warning, which emits a chirp every 20 to 30 seconds when replacement is required.

The tail stand should be inspected every 90 days for defects in welds, pins, and tubing. Annual cleaning is recommended, using a soft cloth rather than pressure washing to avoid damage. The alarm unit itself should be cleaned with compressed air or a vacuum around its perimeter openings. The alarm surface can then be wiped with a damp cloth.

The tail stand can be transported using its dual casters for manual rolling or lifted by crane using straps through the tripod top. It may also be moved with a forklift positioned under the lower tripod support. The unit weighs approximately 94 lbs (42.6 kg), making it manageable for a range of handling options.

The alarm system is triggered when 100 to 150 pounds of force are applied to the cradle, alerting operators to excessive load conditions. This helps prevent overstressing the tail stand and ensures that technicians are aware of unsafe situations in real time. The loud 85 dB pulsating alarm continues until the force is reduced, reinforcing safety throughout the operation.
