Study Notes
Airplane Movement and Towing Procedures
- Airplanes can be maneuvered using a nose wheel steering bar or suitable powered equipment that matches the airplane's class and weight.
- It is essential that any equipment used does not cause damage or excessive strain to the nose gear, steering assembly, or engine mounts.
- The nose wheel steering bar is stored in the forward baggage compartment and connects into the front axle for use.
- When towing is necessary, use towing lines attached securely to both main gear struts, positioned as high up on the tubes as possible to ensure stability.
- Towing lines must be at least 15 feet long to provide adequate clearance for the nose and/or tail of the airplane.
- A qualified individual should occupy the pilot's seat during towing to maintain control of the airplane using the brakes.
