WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT MOVES WITH ITS POWER ON THE GROUND
NO PERSONS GO WHERE THE AIRCRAFT CAN CAUSE THEM INJURY OR CAN KILL THEM
NO OBJECTS STAY WHERE THE ENGINES CAN BLOW THEM AWAY OR CAN PULL THEM INTO
THE ENGINES BY SUCTION.
WARNING : OBEY THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT (TOWING, PUSHBACK
OR TAXIING). MAKE SURE THAT:
THE PATH OF THE AIRCRAFT IS CLEAR OF PERSONS, EQUIPMENT AND OTHER OBSTACLES.
NO PERSONS GO NEAR THE TOW TRACTOR, TOWBAR, LANDING GEARS, ENGINE NACELLES
OR BELOW THE AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE.
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONS ARE ON THE TRACTOR AND NO PERSONS SIT OR STAND ON THE
TOWBAR.
NO PERSONS GO NEAR THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE IT IS FULLY STOPPED.
THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING : DURING TOWING/TAXIING OPERATIONS (LOW-SPEED OPERATIONS INCLUDED), EACH PERSON IN
THE AIRCRAFT MUST BE IN A SEAT AND THE SEAT BELT MUST BE FASTENED.
IF THE SEAT BELT IS NOT FASTENED, THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY IF THE AIRCRAFT STOPS
SUDDENLY.
1.
Reason for the Job

This procedure is for towing of the aircraft in maintenance configuration.
It is also permitted to use this procedure to disengage the aircraft from the gate area in these conditions:
. a push back with one or several turns or stops and starts and
. a forward tow without turns or multiple stops/starts.
2.
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 removed, smooth and low-speed towing is
recommended.

Towing
CAUTION :
OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN YOU TOW OR MOVE THE AIRCRAFT ON THE
GROUND WITH THE ENGINE REMOVED AND THE FAN COWLS INTALLED:
THE THRUST REVERSER MUST BE REMOVED.
THE FAN COWLS MUST BE CLOSED AND LATCHED.
A PERSON MUST WALK BESIDE THE FAN COWLS TO PREVENT FAN COWL
SWINGING DURING AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT.
IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS, DAMAGE TO THE NACELLE STRUCTURE
CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION :
DO NOT TOW OR MOVE THE AIRCRAFT ON THE GROUND IF THE ENGINE COWLS ARE
OPEN.
MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE COWLS OPEN CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
COWLS AND THE NACELLE STRUCTURE.

(2)
Towing
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 AC 5-8-0.
(a)
You can use the NLG towbar fitting to tow or push the aircraft:
. at maximum weight,
. with the engines between zero and idle.
(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. 09-10-00-991-01900-A - Maximum Extension of the Nose-Gear Shock Absorber during
Towing)
(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.
Speed Limits
(a)
(b)
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.
For a tractor without towbar, a maximum speed of 32 km/h (19.8 mph) is permitted.
Passenger/crew doors fully open and locked and/or cargo doors open in vertical position:
1
(c)
In wind conditions, calculate the permitted towing speed before towing:

1
AES
The maximum speed permitted is 10 km/h (6.21 mph).

Measure the wind speed.
09-10-00 PB201
Page 2
May 01/12
Revision n: 40
@A318/A319/A320/A321
(3)
Do a check of aircraft stability (Ref. TASK 05-57-00-200-001-A) or (Ref. TASK

05-57-00-200-001-A).
Subtract the measured wind speed from the wind speed limit shown on the stability curve.
This gives the maximum permitted towing speed.
Approximate Towing Loads

(a)
When you push the aircraft rearward with the engines at idle, you must add the engine thrust
resistance to the towing loads.
NOTE :
(b)
(4)
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
Limit Loads and Angles

(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 :
(d)
AES
The engine thrust resistance at ground idle is 525 daN (for each engine in operation).
Step (c) is applicable for aircraft that have the wheel steering-angle marking on the FWD
NLG doors.
Use a towbar with:

. The towing shear pins, calibration 9425 daN (21188.2388 lbf) for the protection of the landing
gear against too high loads,
. The safety shear pin, calibration 826 m.daN (6091.45 lbf.ft) for the protection of the landing
gear against too high torsion.
NOTE :
When the engines are not installed, tow the aircraft smoothly.
NOTE :
It is permitted to tow the aircraft with the floor panels of the cabin and/or cargo
compartment(s) removed.
