W-wait- the tug takes the entire weight of the nose of the plane for pushback!? Why??? I've never seen such a thing with a tug. How/why did they change this?
heavy aircraft can't be towed by a tow bar and instead the whole nose wheel is lifted and moved.. i think heavy and super class aircraft are towed that way.. (heavy is a 747 class and super is a380)
i reckon this is different to which vehicle they have at the ground service, some tugs you use with a towbar and others lift the plane like this you basicly take whats availible
@@dyzio2206 Not true , plenty of airports still use tugs with tow bars for 747 and A380 and the tow bar attachment point is clearly visible on thisA380. As emardox says , it’s up to the airport which equipment they use.
These guys make it look so easy!
Lot of practise.
