welded and bolted to the flight deck inboard of each of the deck sheaves at an approximate 45 degrees forward facing angle. The bolted section of the frame is removable in order to replace worn impact pads as needed. Upon initial arrestment by an aircraft the terminal will impact on the pads instead of the steel deck, minimizing damage to the fittings, purchase cable, and crossdeck pendants. Wire Supports The wire supports provide a method of raising the crossdeck pendant off the flight deck to ensure arresting (tail) hook engagement of the incoming aircraft. These  wire  supports  are  actually  preshaped  leaf springs   that   are   designed   to   maintain   a   crossdeck pendant  height  of  2  inches  minimum,  measured  from the  bottom  of  the  pendant  to  deck  at  its  lowest  point, and 5 1/2 inches maximum, measured from the top of the pendant to the deck at its highest point (fig. 3-34). The crossdeck pendant height is regulated by adjusting the wire support's contour height. Each wire support is mounted directly to the flight deck.  The  forward  end  of  the  wire  support  spring  is rigidly  secured  by  use  of  a  cam  mounted  in  a  deck recess  and  a  follower  and  pin  at  the  end  of  the  wire support. The forward end of the spring is then held in 3-33 CABLE HEIGHT GAGE CHECKING MINIMUM HEIGHT CABLE HEIGHT GAGE CHECKING MAXIMUM HEIGHT 2" ABEf0334 Figure 3-34.—Checking crossdeck pendant height.
