 (a) In wind conditions, calculate the permitted towing speed before
towing:

1
_ Measure the wind speed.

2
_ Do a check of aircraft stability (Ref. TASK 05-57-00-200-801).

3
_ Subtract measured wind speed from wind speed limit shown on
the stability curve. This gives the maximum permitted towing
speed on condition that the speed is not more than the speeds
shown above.

NOTE : It is recommended to make turns slowly and smoothly

____
when you tow the aircraft by the NLG. Sudden fast turns
can cause the rupture of the shear pin in the towbar.

(Ref. Fig. 208/TASK 09-10-00-991-003)

(1) The maximum steering angle in the horizontal plane is 30 degrees on

each side of the aircraft centerline. When the towing is along the
aircraft centerline the nose landing gear keeps the limits.

(2) The maximum angle in the vertical plane is 5 degrees on each side of
the horizontal plane which goes through the towing fitting of the
main gear.

(3) During the towing operations, put:

- one person in the cockpit to operate the brake pedals if necessary
- two persons to monitor the wing tips.

(4) During the towing operations, on the panel 312VU you must monitor the
R pressure on the triple pressure indicator on the top gauge.
- If the pressure is approximately 2000 psi (137.8951 bar),
pressurize again the Blue hydraulic system (Ref. TASK 29-00-00-863-

(5) Tow the aircraft smoothly if possible, keep the tractor aligned with
the aircraft centerline. You can make turns only if the ground
conditions are good.

- two persons to monitor the wing tips.

(3) Tow the aircraft smoothly and slowly.

NOTE : The towing speed must not be more than:

____
- 25 km/h (15 mph) with the tow bar,
- 10 km/h (6 mph) if the cargo and/or the passenger doors are
open.

(a) In wind conditions, calculate the permitted towing speed before

towing:

1
_ Measure the wind speed.

2
_ Do a check of aircraft stability (Ref. TASK 05-57-00-200-801).

3
_ Subtract measured wind speed from wind speed limit shown on
the stability curve. This gives the maximum permitted towing
speed on condition that the speed is not more than the speeds
shown above.

NOTE : It is recommended to make turns slowly and smoothly
