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

____
refer to the SIL 09-003.
(a) You can use the NLG towbar fitting to tow or push the aircraft:
R - at maximum weight,
- with the engines between zero and idle.
(b) You can use the MLG attachments to tow the aircraft:
- with the engines stopped,
- when it is bogged.
(c) 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 (d) All persons must be at a minimum distance of 3 m (9.84 ft.) from

R the wheels and the tractor while the aircraft moves.
R
(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.

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

(Ref. Fig. 203/TASK 09-10-00-991-001)
R
(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 400 daN

____
(for each engine in operation).
(b) Use these coefficients for the friction between the tires of the
R tow tractor and the ground to calculate the minimum tractor
R 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.
NOTE : Step (c) is applicable for aircraft that have the wheel
____
steering-angle marking on the FWD NLG doors.
