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.
