Left Wing Rope
Raw geometric length:
Total buffer added:
Minimum required rope length:
Recommended pre-cut rope length:
Pull Scale Reading @ 2" Deflection
Tension Guidance
Too Loose
Target Range
Too Tight
Use a small pull scale and pull the rope to 2" of midpoint deflection. Target the green range.
Target range reflects estimated rope tension of 10–15 lbf.
Includes 19.75" reduction for snubber-equipped configuration.
Shorter span detected. Use extra care measuring midpoint and 2" deflection. Short spans require higher pull forces and are more sensitive to local geometry.
Span too short for standard 2" deflection guidance.
Short free spans require higher pull forces and are more sensitive to local geometry, hardware proximity, and measurement technique.
For snubber-equipped or unusually short configurations, use caution when interpreting pull-scale readings.
Includes 19.75" reduction for snubber-equipped configuration.

Minimum required rope length equals raw geometric length plus the selected knot, margin, and snubber allowances.
These results are planning estimates only and should be verified against your actual aircraft tie-down points, rope routing, knotting method, ramp anchor geometry, and product limitations before use.
