Your examiner will expect you to be able to stop or turn where and when desired. An airport is a complex interface between the air and the ground environments, where access must be controlled and separation between aircraft or between aircraft and vehicular traffic must be maintained and optimised. Resistance to the prop turning indicates a possible hydraulic lock in at least one of the cylinders. ASRS narratives include statements such
The AC now addresses aircraft being taxied by persons other than certificated pilots; adds a definition for Airport Operations Area; revises the definition for Non-Movement Area; replaces the term Ramp with Apron to harmonize with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 14 Volume 1; adds a definition for Vehicle or Pedestrian Deviation; provides guidance for towered airports on Part 139 requirements for people and equipment in the Runway Safety Area (RSA); calls for a Letter of Agreement at towered airports between the airport operator, the tower, and FAA Technical Operations; provides guidance on taxing and/or towing aircraft in the movement area by non-pilots; and incorporates numerous changes to format and content throughout the document. Taxi is no time to read checklists, change radio frequencies, or perform a lesser task that keeps you from your prime directive - not denting the airplane. Hydraulic lock in radial engines. Under what conditions should a reciprocating engine be pre-oiled? hazard, then determine and take action as needed to reduce the risk by: (1) . The forward movement of an aircraft, usually with engines off, using the power of a specialised ground vehicle attached to or supporting the nose landing gear. If the aircraft is being towed to a start position or to aPush and Holdlocation, this normally will be obtained by the aircraft commander or other person on the flight deck. This is an ideal place to put the airport diagram. It is likely that where available, anAPUwill be running to provide electrical power and that hydraulic accumulator pressure for braking will be achieved by use of an electrical pump. On 21 August 2006, a Boeing 737-500 suffered a nose landing gear collapse during towing at the Newark Liberty International Airport. Engine .

The traditional method of allowing the ground vehicle to move an aircraft is to attach it to the aircraft nose landing gear by means of a towbar. Ignition occurs with an excessively rich mixture, leading to a rapid temperature rise that can exceed the exhaust gas temperature limit. As part of out of service repositioning of aircraft supervised by maintenance personnel, it may follow thePushbackfrom a nose-in gate of an empty aircraft with engines off.

The key threat to aircraft flight safety consequent upon towing operations is collision between the aircraft under tow and another aircraft. a collision with a moving aircraft taking off or landing on an active runway whether or not the aircraft under tow has a valid ATC runway occupancy clearance. It may occur for the movement of both in service and out of service aircraft. On 13 November 2008, a Boeing 737-800 with an unserviceable APU was being operated by Ryanair on a passenger flight at night was in collision with a tug after a cross-bleed engine start procedure was initiated prior to the completion of a complex aircraft pushback in rain. Air carriers are urged to review
The PTS uses the term "appropriate" checklist, so if your airplane's operator mandates a given checklist, your examiner should observe you using that checklist. Unless the manoeuvre is taking place outside the movement area controlled by ATC, an RTF clearance to carry it out will be required. Turning props, rotors, prop or jet blast and inlet areas. The Investigation attributed the collision to differing expectations of the tug driver, the Apron controller and the RJ100 flight crew within an overall context of complacency on the part of the tug driver whilst carrying out what would have been regarded as a routine, non-stressful task. Inadequate awareness of aircraft dimensions and turning arcs by the ground crew towing, Lack of clearance between horizontal stabilisers of a towed. Also, ensure that the prop or jet blast doesn't blow into hangars or other airplanes, and have a fire guard nearby. Always stay on the _____!
