4-4 LANDING ZONE NUMBER
The building tables and build procedures include a landing zone number to ensure correct location of the landing
roller pedestal under the launching nose. The light launching nose is considered as divided into twenty equal zones,
each 1 ft (300 mm) in length. During building or delaunching, the landing roller pedestal must be positioned not less
than 9 in (229 mm) from the F peg, and at this time the LZ number is checked for correct position over the landing roller
pedestal roller. The landing zone number should be that given or HIGHER. Never less than that given.
