    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.
