WHEN A TELESCOPING DESIGN PORTABLE TOWBAR IS USED, PRIOR TO CONNECTION, PLACE IN FULLY EXTENDED POSITION AND LOCK TELESCOPES USING LOCK PINS. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT. APPLY BRAKES ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY. AVOID USE OF BRAKES, IF POSSIBLE, WHEN AIRCRAFT IS MOVING BACKWARD AS AIRCRAFT COULD ROTATE ONTO ITS TAIL. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT. DAMAGE TO MAIN ENTRANCE DOOR MAY RESULT IF DOOR IS NOT CLOSED OR SUPPORTED WITH A JURY CABLE BEFORE TOWING. BEFORE PROCEEDING TO TOW AIRCRAFT, ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH CLEARANCE AT WING TIPS IN EVENT A TURN IS REQUIRED. DUE TO WING SWEEPBACK, WHEN AIRCRAFT IS TURNED, WING WILL SWING OUT AS IT COMPLETES AN ARC. ON SHARP TURNS, TAIL WILL REQUIRE MORE CLEARANCE THAN WINGS. USE EXTREME CARE TO PREVENT AIRCRAFT FROM OVERRIDING TOWING VEHICLE. DO NOT SET BRAKES PERMANENTLY WHILE THEY ARE IN A HEATED CONDITION. FAILURE TO PULL PITOT STATIC CIRCUIT BREAKERS WILL RESULT IN BURNING UP PITOT STATIC COVERS. DO NOT USE METAL CABLES TO TIE DOWN AIRCRAFT. DO NOT EXCEED STARTER DUTY CYCLE OF 25 SECONDS. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

NOSE GEAR TOWING

NOTE Towing procedures are basically the same as those used for other aircraft equipped with tricycle landing gear. Towing aircraft on hard surfaces is accomplished by using a towbar connected to nose landing gear. Forward towing is accomplished with specially designed towbars and towing vehicles. Towing vehicle should have a minimum drawbar pull of 12,000 pounds and be equipped with a torque converter to minimize acceleration and deceleration loads on nose landing gear for dry conditions. Flyaway towbar consists of three pieces and weighs approximately 24 pounds. Towbar may be stored in forward cabin storage area or in baggage compartment. Towbar shear pin ensures nose gear towing load of 9600 pounds is not exceeded. PREPARATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Prepare aircraft for safe ground maintenance. Ensure main landing gear and nose landing gear safety pins are installed. Inspect exterior of aircraft and ensure all cowlings, doors and latches are closed. Clear ground equipment and obstructions from aircraft towing path. Check tires are in a satisfactory condition for towing. Check main and nose landing gear shock absorbers are serviced correctly. See placard on shock absorber. Ensure NWS switch on left console is in OFF position. Disconnect nose landing gear scissors by removing pip pin. Raise upper scissor and secure in up position to bracket with pip pin. Install lock on upper scissors.

NOTE It is recommended to establish communication between tow vehicle operator and person in cockpit. Six full applications of parking and emergency brake system can be made with a fully charged accumulator (3000 psi). 5. 6. Check hydraulic brake accumulator gage in cockpit for available brake pressure. If cockpit gage indicates less than 2000 psi minimum required pressure, select AUX HYD PUMP to ON to replenish hydraulic brake pressure. Ensure gust lock is on. Select AUX HYD PUMP to OFF after brake accumulator is fully charged. Close main entrance door, or support open door with jury cable.

7. 8. 9.

10. Remove aircraft chocks. 11. Ensure landing gear is free of obstructions. 12. Release parking brake. 13. Position wing and tail walkers as necessary to ensure clearance between aircraft and adjacent structure equipment. 14. Tow aircraft, making smooth starts and stops with towing vehicle. 15. Tow in low gear only. 16. On completion of towing, check nose wheels are centered. 17. When destination is reached, apply aircraft parking brake. 18. Install chocks in front and behind left and right main landing gear tires. 19. Connect ground wire from aircraft to ground. 20. Disconnect towbar from towing vehicle. 21. Remove lock from upper scissors. 22. Connect nose landing scissors. 23. Secure pip pin by connecting safety lanyard to handle. 24. Disconnect towbar from nose landing gear axle. 25. Ensure main entrance door area is clear to open and open door. 26. Secure aircraft as required.

AIRCRAFT PARKING
PREPARATION 1. 2. Prepare aircraft for safe ground maintenance. Set PARK / EMERG BRAKE handle after brakes have cooled to ambient temperature. NOTE The PARK / EMERG BRAKE handle is used to apply main wheel brake during parking procedures. The brake is actuated by operating a T-handle located on control pedestal in cockpit. The brake accumulator must have a minimum of 1500 psi and PARK / EMERG BRAKE handle in cockpit must be pulled aft and rotated 1/4 turn clockwise to set PARK / EMERG BRAKE. The brake is released by rotating handle counterclockwise 1/4 turn. The parking brake should be set only after brakes have cooled to ambient temperature. Setting brakes when hot could cause brakes to lock and not release. 3. Set gust lock on aircraft. NOTE Gust locks are incorporated in flight control system so all flight control surfaces may be locked without use of external locking devices. The gust lock lever is a double detented, two position handle located on control pedestal in cockpit. With gust lock lever positioned in aft detent, flight controls will be locked and each flight control is protected in wind gust up to 60 mph. 4. If aircraft is to be left unattended for a period longer than an overnight stay, or if weather conditions make it advisable, install all protective covers.

Close, latch and lock main and baggage doors as required. Remove battery disconnects from batteries if aircraft is to be parked for 3 days or more. Moor aircraft if weather conditions make it advisable.

FOLLOW ON 1. 2. Inspect for presence of foreign objects. Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.
