DA 62 AFM
Handling, Care,
Maintenance
If the airplane is towed by a towing vehicle, do not turn the
nose wheel more than 40 degrees either side of the center
position or damage to the gear will result.
When towing the airplane with a towing vehicle, a qualified person must sit in the cockpit
ready for immediate braking action, in the event the towing becomes uncoupled. The
movement of the towing vehicle should always be started and stopped slowly to avoid
unnecessary shock loads on the nose landing gear. The maximum steering angle of 40
degrees to either side must not be exceeded.
WARNING
The tow bar must be removed before starting the engine.
In the event that the airplane must be pulled out of soft ground or deep snow, towing lines
must be used. The towing lines should be attached to the main landing gear struts as
high as possible without interfering with the brake lines. The ropes should be long enough
to sufficiently clear the nose or tail. A qualified person must sit in the cockpit to maintain
control of the airplane using the nose wheel steering and brakes.
WARNING
All towing lines must be removed before starting the engine.
