1. __________________
Reason for the Job
R This procedure is for towing of the aircraft in maintenance configuration.

R It is also permitted to use this procedure to disengage the aircraft from
R the gate area in these conditions:
R - a push back with one or several turns or stops and starts and
R - a forward tow without turns or multiple stops/starts.
NOTE : Operational towing, i.e. towing an aircraft, loaded with passengers,

____
fuel, and cargo, from the terminal gate or parking area, to a remote
location is not permitted.
NOTE : For aircraft with cabin and/or cargo-compartment(s) floor panels

TO THE COWLS AND THE NACELLE STRUCTURE.
(1) Towing
(Ref. Fig. 201/TASK 09-10-00-991-020)
NOTE : We recommend that you use a towbar that has a damping system.
____
R NOTE : For the requirements related to towbars and towbar tractors,

____
R refer to AC 5-8-0.
R
(a) You can use the NLG towbar fitting to tow or push the aircraft:
- at maximum weight,
- with the engines between zero and idle.
R
R (b) Do not tow the aircraft if the dimension H is more than 300 mm
(11.8110 in.). If you do, you can cause damage to the cams that
make the nose gear wheels go back to the center position.
(Ref. Fig. 202/TASK 09-10-00-991-019)
R (c) All persons must be at a minimum distance of 3 m (9.84 ft.) from

the wheels and the tractor while the aircraft moves.
(Ref. Fig. 201/TASK 09-10-00-991-020)
(2) Speed Limits
(a) Door closed and locked or removed:
1
_ For a tractor with a towbar, a maximum speed of 25 km/h (15.5
mph) is permitted.
2
_ For a tractor without towbar, a maximum speed of 32 km/h (19.8
mph) is permitted.
(b) Passenger/crew doors fully open and locked and/or cargo doors
open in vertical position:
1
_ The maximum speed permitted is 10 km/h (6.21 mph).
(c) In wind conditions, calculate the permitted towing speed before

towing:
1
_ Measure the wind speed.

_ Subtract the measured wind speed from the wind speed limit
shown on the stability curve. This gives the maximum permitted
towing speed.
(3) Approximate Towing Loads

(Ref. Fig. 203/TASK 09-10-00-991-001)
(a) When you push the aircraft rearward with the engines at idle, you
must add the engine thrust resistance to the towing loads.
NOTE : The engine thrust resistance at ground idle is 525 daN

____
(for each engine in operation).
(b) Use these coefficients for the friction between the tires of the
tow tractor and the ground to calculate the minimum tractor
weight:
- Dry concrete or asphalt: 0.80
- Wet asphalt: 0.75
- Wet concrete: 0.57
- Hard snow: 0.20
- Ice: 0.05
(4) Limit Loads and Angles

(Ref. Fig. 204/TASK 09-10-00-991-002, 205/TASK 09-10-00-991-022)
(a) In all the towing configurations, the safety pin locks the
control lever on the interphone box in the disengaged position.
(b) The maximum permitted steering-angle on each side of the aircraft

centerline is:
- +/- 95 degrees with towbar,
- +/- 85 degrees without towbar.
(c) During towing, the towing angle must not be more than the angle
shown on the FWD NLG doors.

____
removed, smooth and low-speed taxiing is recommended.
1. __________________
Reason for the Job
The taxiing speed and the nosewheel steering are kept to a limit when:
- You move the aircraft with one or more tires deflated. The deflated tires
can be on one or more landing gears.
The procedure given below is for taxiing with the two engines.
R NOTE : This task contains aircraft/engine data related to taxiing of the

____
R aircraft by maintenance personnel. The operators must refer to their
R local/airport regulations and use these data to obey them.
