Does anyone know where the level reference is in a C120?

The Type Certificate Data Sheet has that info. The long splice plate on the fuselage side for longitudinal level. The landing gear box for lateral leveling.

Thanks - I hadn't thought to look at the TCDS as all the other planes I've owned have had it in the POH somewhere. Appreciated.

It's always in the TCDS. The 120/140 predate POHs. (In fact, they predate TCDSs also. It was called the "Aircraft Specification" back then.)

Always learning from this forum - thanks John. For some reason knew that all the control deflections were in the TCDS, but never thought of the leveling information.
