3 Tow Guidelines
Make sure that there are sufficient personnel to move the aircraft safely. If necessary, use one
person:
− At each wing tip
− In the pilot seat (to operate the aircraft brakes)
− To operate the tow vehicle
− At the aircraft tail (in control of the tow operation).
Make sure that:
− All personnel are competent to do the tow operation and know the safety precautions
− The tow vehicle and related equipment are suitable for the aircraft
− The tow route is clear of objects
− The passenger door and the cargo door are closed.
Note
A tow bar or towing equipment that fits correctly can be used. Make sure that it has
sufficient towing weight/capacity.
Note
You can lift the nosewheel to tow the aircraft. If you lift the nosewheel, do not lift it
more than 75 mm (2.95 in).
When the aircraft is towed, make sure that:
− Personnel are in position
− The person in control can see the personnel at all times
− The parking brake is released
− You tow the aircraft slowly
− The NLG does not turn to an angle more than the limits shown on the NLG placard.
