CAUTION: Airbus strongly recommends that TLTV operators carefully align the clamping device of the tractor with the nose landing gear axis. The gap between the cradle and the torque-link is very small and a mis-alignment might cause damage to the torque-link pin. A simple alignment device on the tractor could help the driver (marking, piece of metal...). Such a device is generally offered by TLTV manufacturers or could easily be manufactured by TLTV operators.

Notes: (1) Powerpush PPU (former TANA 42/53) drives the main gear wheels (twin wheels only). This

vehicle is used for pushback operations only. Extract from Aircraft Flight Manual of A320 family:

TOWBARLESS OPERATIONS Ident.: LIM-09-00007358.0001001 / 23 NOV 09 EASA APPROVED Towbarless operations on nose landing gear (towing and pushback) are approved provided the towbarless towing operations are performed in compliance with appropriate operational requirements, using towbarless towing vehicles that are qualified and operated to preclude damage to the aircraft nosewheel steering system, or which provide a reliable and unmistakable warning when damage to the steering system may have occurred. Towbarless towing vehicles that are specifically accepted for the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 aircraft are listed in Airbus Service Information Letter SIL 09-002

(2) TPX 500 (existing in 250hp and 300hp version) have both been qualified for use on A330-200/-300 and A340-200/-300.

Up to end of November 1999, towbarless towing of A330/A340 was only authorised for aircraft equipped with the standard option 09F3001 or 09G3001 (which includes mod 43435 for basic provisions and mod 43442 for the Oversteering Warning System).

According to the new JAR 25X745(d), and based on the results of the A330/A340 Nose Wheel Steering safety analysis, this option on the aircraft is not mandatory providing the TLTV are fitted with a fail-safe Oversteer indication / Protection features (see table 5). The Flight Manual has been revised accordingly.

TABLE 1 Notes

Note: (1) Nose landing gear design loads were not exceeded and no reduction of the certified safe life limit is expected during pushback and maintenance towing operations. IF SUDDEN BRAKING WITH AIRPLANE BRAKES OCCURS, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DESIGN LOADS CAN BE EXCEEDED AND AIRPLANE DAMAGE OR GEAR COLLAPSE CAN OCCUR.

Note: (2) Boeing preliminary review of the Krauss Maffei PTS1 test data has determined that dispatch towing using the Krauss Maffei PTS1 will reduce the certified safe life limit of the nose landing gear.

Note: (3) TANA vehicles attach to the main landing gear, & used for pushback operations only.

Note: (4) MAN GHH. AM110 is used for pushback operations only.

Note: (5) Pushback procedures should be reviewed to allow for passenger emergency exit.

Note: (6) Tested May 1994 using Tractive/brake forces setting “Wheel Size A”.

Note: (7) Krauss-Maffei has been purchased by FMC. All Krauss-Maffei references are now FMC.

Note: (8) DC-9, MD-80, MD-90, and 717 model airplanes may be equipped with a three-piece all aluminum spray deflector assembly or a five piece (polyurethane outboard) deflector assembly. There is a significant geometric difference in profile between the aluminum and polyurethane deflectors. This geometric difference must be considered with TLTV interface especially while turning.

TABLE 2 & 3 Notes

Note: (1) These are non-tested airplane models, which the manufacturers have advised may be towed at the noted TLTV tractive-brake force setting. TLTV operational performance with these airplanes at the noted setting may or may not be acceptable. Consult with vehicle manufacturer.

Note: (2) No dispatch towing has been performed with tested combination.

Note: (3) PTS 3-R was formerly known as AT0S 3-R, which was developed by AES, a former joint venture company between Goldhofer and Krauss-Maffei, and produced by Goldhofer.

Note: (4) Some manufacturers use independent consultants or agents for test and evaluation services. Consult the manufacturers for details.

Note: (5) TLTV manufacturer contacts currently known to Boeing are:
