TASK 09−10−00−584−802 (Config A01)


Push Back Procedure with Torque Links Disconnected

1. General

A. The maintenance procedure that follows is for the push back of an aircraft with the steering
torque links disconnected. The aircraft shall be towed only from the nose landing gear (NLG)
provision points. Towing provision points are located at both ends of the NLG axle. This
procedure is used to move the aircraft away from the terminal gate before a flight, with the flight
crew members on board. This is also used to push an aircraft back with the ground towing crew
only. The procedure for the ground towing crew is given. When the flight crew is on board steps
that made in the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above +/− 70° are required, then, to eliminate any possibility of an
in−flight disconnect, personnel must make sure that both quick−disconnect pins are
fully engaged when reconnecting the torque links.

TASK 09−10−00−584−803 (Config A01)


Push Back of the Aircraft with the Towbarless Vehicle with Torque Links Connected

1. General

A. The procedure that follows is for the towing of the aircraft with a towbarless vehicle. The
approved vehicle for this procedure is the TLD towbarless towing TPX−100E. These vehicles
have a standard motor limiting and brake pressure limiting devices to avoid damage to the NLG
and the aircraft structure. This is used to move the aircraft away from the terminal gate before a
flight, with the flight crew members on board. This procedure is also used to push an aircraft back
with the ground towing crew only. The procedure for the ground towing crew is given. When the
flight crew is on board steps given for the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: Turn angle limits must not be more than 70 degrees right and left from the center.
Markings (visible in all lighting conditions) could be affixed to the nose gear strut at +/−
70 degrees from the center line. The towbarless vehicle operator must be able to
clearly see at all times when the nose gear turn limits are being approached or if at any
time the aircraft nosewheel assembly position differs from the cradle position.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above +/− 70 degrees are required, then refer to the push back of the
aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with torque links disconnected
(TASK 09−10−00−584−812).

Any of the towing equipment specified by MHIRJ and the corresponding procedures can be used
at the customer’s discretion. Operators also have the option to risk assess their own towing
operations and to perform them according to their internal policies and procedures.

The following tug cradle and rear−gate configuration shall be used. Use of any other
cradle/rear−gate configurations is prohibited:

CAUTION: BEFORE MOVING THE AIRCRAFT, BE SURE THAT THE FLAG "ALIGNING"
ON THE INTEGRATED STANDBY INSTRUMENT (ISI) IS NOT SHOWN. IF
YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS PRECAUTION, THERE IS A RISK OF
DISPATCHING THE AIRCRAFT WITH A MISALIGNED ISI.

(9) Slowly push back the aircraft forward at a speed of not more than 3 mph (5 km/h).

NOTE: The pavement surface must be free from obstacles.

NOTE: Push back of the Aircraft on any surface irregularity exceeding 1 in. (2.54 cm),
including hangar entrance is prohibited.

NOTE: Do not stop the aircraft in a turn if it is not necessary.

NOTE: Do not stop the towbarless vehicle suddenly.

NOTE: Turn angle must not be more than 90 degrees right and left from the center.

NOTE: The torque applied on the NLG exceeds the limits, the towbarless vehicle
provides different audible and visual alerts. When steering, if the operator
reaches 50% of the safe limit, the amber light comes on with the aural buzzer.
This alerting system allows the operator to continue the towing operation, and
leaves enough time to correct the turning angle before the safety limit is reached.
In case the safe limit is reached, a red light comes on with audible buzzer to alert
the operator. The tug then automatically shifts to the neutral position and powers
down.

(10) While push back, if the aircraft NLG wheels move upward direction from the gate/back plate
do the steps that follow:

(a) Immediately stop all the towing operations.

(b) NLG tires, NLG wheels, NLG piston chrome, NLG wheel axle, and the lower torque
links must be inspected by a qualified aircraft mechanic or technician, paying
particular attention to the wheel bead and tire chine.

(11) Do not use the aircraft brakes when the aircraft is towed unless an emergency condition
occurs.

NOTE: If the aircraft brakes are used, the aircraft towing must be immediately stopped.
Permanent damage may have been caused to the NLG Shock strut assembly,
NLG Drag Brace assembly, and the Aircraft Structure. If this condition occurs, the
NLG shock strut and the NLG Drag Brace aircraft attachment points must me
inspected for damage or deformation. Contact the CRJ Customer Response
Center for disposition on the NLG Shock Strut assembly and the NLG Drag

Push Back Procedure with Torque Links Connected

1. General

A. The maintenance procedure that follows is for the push back of an aircraft with the steering
torque links connected. The aircraft shall be towed only from the nose landing gear (NLG)
provision points. Towing provision points are located at both ends of the NLG axle. This
procedure is used to move the aircraft away from the terminal gate before a flight, with the flight
crew members on board. This is also used to push an aircraft back with the ground towing crew
only. The procedure for the ground towing crew is given. When the flight crew is on board steps
that made in the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: Turn angle limits must not be more than 70 degrees right and left from the center.
Markings (visible in all lighting conditions) could be affixed to the nose gear strut or to
the fuselage at +/− 70 degrees from the center line. The towing operator must be able
to clearly see at all times when the nose gear turn limits are being approached.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above 70 degrees are required, then refer to the push back procedure
with torque links disconnected (TASK 09−10−00−584−802).

TASK 09−10−00−584−807 (Config A01)


Push Back of the Aircraft with the Towbarless Vehicle with Torque Links Connected

1. General

A. The procedure that follows is for the push back of the aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with
torque links connected. The approved vehicles for this procedure are the LEKTRO model
AP8750BAL700 or AP8850SDAAL100. These vehicles have a winch limiting, brake limiting and
motor limiting devices to avoid damage to the NLG. These vehicles also have a winch strap of 1
in. (2.54 cm) or 2 in. (5.08 cm) wide. These are used to move the aircraft away from the terminal
gate before a flight, with the flight crew members on board. This procedure is also used to push
an aircraft back with the ground towing crew only. The procedure for the ground towing crew is
given. When the flight crew is on board steps given for the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: Turn angle limits must not be more than 70 degrees right and left from the center.
Markings (visible in all lighting conditions) could be affixed to the nose gear strut at +/−
70 degrees from the center line. The tug operator must be able to clearly see at all
times when the nose gear turn limits are being approached or if at any time the aircraft
nosewheel assembly position differs from the cradle position.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above +/− 70 degrees are required, then refer to the push back of the
aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with torque links disconnected
(TASK 09−10−00−584−806).

Any of the towing equipment specified by MHIRJ and the corresponding procedures can be used
at the customer’s discretion. Operators also have the option to risk assess their own towing
operations and to perform them according to their internal policies and procedures.

One of the following tug cradle and rear−gate configurations shall be used. Use of any other
cradle/rear−gate configurations is prohibited:

Push Back of the Aircraft with the Towbarless Vehicle with Torque Links Connected

1. General

A. The procedure that follows is for the push back of the aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with
torque links connected. The approved vehicle for this procedure is the LEKTRO model
AP8850SDAAL100. This vehicle have a winch limiting, brake limiting and motor limiting devices
to avoid damage to the NLG and aircraft structure. This vehicle also have a winch strap of 1 in.
(2.54 cm) or 2 in. (5.08 cm) wide. This is used to move the aircraft away from the terminal gate
before a flight, with the flight crew members on board. This procedure is also used to push an
aircraft back with the ground towing crew only. The procedure for the ground towing crew is
given. When the flight crew is on board steps given for the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: Turn angle limits must not be more than 70 degrees right and left from the center.
Markings (visible in all lighting conditions) could be affixed to the nose gear strut at +/−
70 degrees from the center line. The tug operator must be able to clearly see at all
times when the nose gear turn limits are being approached or if at any time the aircraft
nosewheel assembly position differs from the cradle position.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above +/− 70 degrees are required, then refer to the push back of the
aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with torque links disconnected
(TASK 09−10−00−584−806).

particular attention to the tire chine and the wheel bead.

NOTE: If during an emergency situation, the aircraft brakes are used to stop the aircraft
while moving the towbarless vehicle in the aft direction, this may cause the NLG
wheels to move off the cradle and then to come down. If this condition occurs,
push back of the aircraft must be immediately stopped. The NLG tires, NLG
wheels, the NLG piston chrome, the NLG wheel axle, and the lower torque link
must be inspected by a qualified aircraft mechanic/technician. Pay particular
attention to the tire chine and the wheel bead.

NOTE: The push back operation shall be halted immediately if at any time the aircraft
nosewheel assembly position differs from the cradle position. This may indicate
that the steering system is not in the by−pass mode or that an oversteer has
occurred causing steering actuators to mechanically bottom, and that a torque
force may be transmitted to the steering system. If this condition occurs, the
aircraft push back must be immediately stopped and the NLG tires and NLG
wheels must be inspected by a qualified aircraft mechanic/technician. Pay
particular attention to the tire chine and the wheel bead.

(14) If the aircraft is turned before it is parked, move it forward or rearward in a straight line for a
short distance.

Push Back of the Aircraft with the Towbarless Vehicle with Torque Links Disconnected

1. General

A. The procedure that follows is for the push back of the aircraft with a towbarless vehicle with
torque link disconnected. The approved vehicles for this procedure are the Douglas−Kalmar
TBL50 and TBL100E. These vehicles have maximum braking force applied and maximum
tractive effort determining devices to avoid damage to the nose landing gear (NLG). This is used
to move the aircraft away from the terminal gate before a flight, with the flight crew members on
board. This procedure is also used to push an aircraft back with the ground towing crew only. The
procedure for the ground towing crew is given. When the flight crew is on board steps given for
the flight compartment can be ignored.

Any of the towing equipment specified by MHIRJ and the corresponding procedures can be used
at the customer’s discretion. Operators also have the option to risk assess their own towing
operations and to perform them according to their internal policies and procedures.

TASK 09−10−00−584−810 (Config A01)


Push Back of the Aircraft with the Towbarless Vehicle with Torque Links Connected

1. General

A. The procedure that follows is for the push back of the aircraft with a towbarless vehicle with
torque links connected. The approved vehicles for these procedure are the Douglas−Kalmar
TBL50 and TBL100E. These vehicles have maximum braking force applied and maximum
tractive effort determining devices to avoid damage to the nose landing gear (NLG). This is used
to move the aircraft away from the terminal gate before a flight, with the flight crew members on
board. This procedure is also used to push an aircraft back with the ground towing crew only. The
procedure for the ground towing crew is given. When the flight crew is on board steps given for
the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: Turn angle limits must not be more than 70 degrees right and left from the center.
Markings (visible in all lighting conditions) could be affixed to the nose gear strut at +/−
70 degrees from the center line. The towbarless vehicle operator must be able to
clearly see at all times when the nose gear turn limits are being approached or if at any
time the aircraft nosewheel assembly position differs from the cradle position.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above +/− 70 degrees are required, then refer to the push back of the
aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with torque links disconnected
(TASK 09−10−00−584−809).

Any of the towing equipment specified by MHIRJ and the corresponding procedures can be used
at the customer’s discretion. Operators also have the option to risk assess their own towing
operations and to perform them according to their internal policies and procedures.

entrance is prohibited.

NOTE: Do not stop the aircraft in a turn if it is not necessary.

NOTE: Do not stop the towbarless vehicle suddenly.

NOTE: Turn angle must not be more than 90 degrees right and left from the center.

NOTE: The torque applied on the NLG exceeds the limits, the towbarless vehicle
provides different audible and visual alerts. When steering, if the operator
reaches 50% of the safe limit, the amber light comes on with the aural buzzer.
This alerting system allows the operator to continue the towing operation, and
leaves enough time to correct the turning angle before the safety limit is reached.
In case the safe limit is reached, a red light comes on with audible buzzer to alert
the operator. The tug then automatically shifts to the neutral position and powers
down.

(11) While towing, if the aircraft NLG wheels move upward direction from the gate/back plate do
the steps that follow:

(a) Immediately stop all the towing operations.

(b) NLG tires, NLG wheels, NLG piston chrome, NLG wheel axle, and the lower torque
links must be inspected by a qualified aircraft mechanic or technician, paying particular
attention to the wheel bead and tire chine.

(12) Do not use the aircraft brakes when the aircraft is towed unless an emergency condition
occurs.

NOTE: If the aircraft brakes are used, the aircraft towing must be immediately stopped.
Permanent damage may have been caused to the NLG Shock strut assembly,
NLG Drag Brace assembly, and the Aircraft Structure. If this condition occurs, the
NLG shock strut and the NLG Drag Brace aircraft attachment points must me

Push Back of the Aircraft with the Towbarless Vehicle with Torque Links Connected

1. General

A. The procedure that follows is for the push back of the aircraft with a towbarless vehicle with
torque links connected. The approved vehicle for this procedure are the Tronair models
JP100SSCOS, JP100SSCUS, and JP100SAL/JP100S. This vehicle has over−steering and
over−torque protection system to avoid damages to the nose landing gear (NLG). This is used to
move the aircraft away from the terminal gate before a flight, with the flight crew members on
board. This procedure is also used to push an aircraft back with the ground towing crew only. The
procedure for the ground towing crew is given. When the flight crew is on board steps given for
the flight compartment can be ignored.

NOTE: Turn angle limits must not be more than 70 degrees right and left from the center.
Markings (visible in all lighting conditions) could be affixed to the nose gear strut at +/−
70 degrees from the center line. The towbarless vehicle operator must be able to
clearly see at all times when the nose gear turn limits are being approached or if at any
time the aircraft nosewheel assembly position differs from the cradle position.

NOTE: It is preferable to keep the torque links connected during push back maneuvers. If
torque links are nevertheless disconnected in order to maneuver the aircraft where
steering angles above +/− 70 degrees are required, then refer to the push back of the
aircraft with the towbarless vehicle with torque links disconnected
(TASK 09−10−00−584−809).

Any of the towing equipment specified by MHIRJ and the corresponding procedures can be used
at the customer’s discretion. Operators also have the option to risk assess their own towing
operations and to perform them according to their internal policies and procedures.

(i) Monitor the hydraulic pressure on the hydraulic synoptic page of the EICAS and make
sure of that follows:

– The flow lines change color from amber to green


– The pressure becomes stable at 3000 ±200 psi (20684 ±1379 kPa).

(10) Make sure the nose wheel steering system is armed.

(a) On the EICAS primary page, make sure that the amber STEERING INOP caution
message is not shown.

NOTE: Nose wheel must be in center position and torque links connected.

(11) On the EXTERNAL LTS panel, make sure the NAV light switch is set to ON.

(12) On the LDG GEAR control panel, make sure the anti−skid switch is set to OFF.

(13) On the SPOILERS/THRUST REVERSER panel, make sure the LH and RH THRUST
REVERSER switches are set to ARM.

NOTE: Do not use the thrust reversers to control the speed of the aircraft during taxi.

(14) On the BLEED AIR control panel, do as follows:

(a) Set the WING A/I CROSS BLEED switch to NORMAL.

(b) Turn the BLEED VALVES knob to AUTO.

(15) Get the taxi clearance from the ground control.

(16) Make sure that the headset of the marshaller is disconnected from the interphone.

(17) Give a signal to the marshaller that you are ready to taxi. Get a clearance from the
marshaller that the taxi path is clear.

(18) Release the parking brake (TASK 10−11−01−910−802).

(19) Apply sufficient engine power as necessary to move the aircraft, then decrease the thrust to
IDLE. Use more than IDLE thrust only when it is necessary to keep the taxiing speed.

NOTE: Idle thrust is sufficient to keep the taxiing speed in most conditions.

(20) During the taxiing procedure, obey the precautions that follow:

(a) Keep your toes at the bottom of the rudder pedals until the brakes are necessary. You
can accidentally apply pressure to the brakes and cause the brakes to become too hot.

(b) Use the brakes only if the aircraft goes too fast, to decrease speed for turns, or to stop
the aircraft. Do not use the brakes continuously to hold the same speed.

(i) Monitor the hydraulic pressure on the hydraulic synoptic page of the EICAS and make
sure of that follows:

– The flow lines change color from amber to green


– The pressure becomes stable at 3000 ±200 psi (20684 ±1379 kPa).

(10) Make sure the nose wheel steering system is armed.

(a) On the EICAS primary page, make sure that the amber STEERING INOP caution
message is not shown.

NOTE: Nose wheel must be in center position and torque links connected.

(11) On the EXTERNAL LTS panel, make sure the NAV light switch is set to ON.

(12) On the LDG GEAR control panel, make sure the anti−skid switch is set to OFF.

(13) On the SPOILERS/THRUST REVERSER panel, make sure the LH and RH THRUST
REVERSER switches are set to ARM.

NOTE: Do not use the thrust reversers to control the speed of the aircraft during taxi.

(14) On the BLEED AIR control panel, do as follows:

(a) Set the WING A/I CROSS BLEED switch to NORMAL.

(b) Turn the BLEED VALVES knob to AUTO.

(15) Get the taxi clearance from the ground control.

(16) Make sure that the headset of the marshaller is disconnected from the interphone.

(17) Give a signal to the marshaller that you are ready to taxi. Get a clearance from the
marshaller that the taxi path is clear.

(18) Release the parking brake (TASK 10−11−01−910−802).

(19) Apply sufficient engine power as necessary to move the aircraft, then decrease the thrust to
IDLE. Use more than IDLE thrust only when it is necessary to keep the taxiing speed.

NOTE: Idle thrust is sufficient to keep the taxiing speed in most conditions.

(20) During the taxiing procedure, obey the precautions that follow:

(a) Keep your toes at the bottom of the rudder pedals until the brakes are necessary. You
can accidentally apply pressure to the brakes and cause the brakes to become too hot.

(b) Use the brakes only if the aircraft goes too fast, to decrease speed for turns, or to stop
the aircraft. Do not use the brakes continuously to hold the same speed.
