4.4.4 EXTENDED REAR GATE
The Extended Rear Gate is used when towing an aircraft with a nose wheel of approximately
12” (30cm) diameter that is also equipped with torque links or other protrusions that extend
beyond the front of the wheel. The protrusions must be at least 4” (10cm) above the ground in
order to use the Extended Rear Gate.
There are two types of Extended Rear Gate:
•
Removable: See
"SMALL REMOVABLE EXTENDED REAR GATE (STANDARD
CRADLE)” on page 4-17
and
"LARGE REMOVABLE EXTENDED REAR GATE
(STANDARD CRADLE)” on page 4-18
.
• Fixed: See
"FIXED EXTENDED REAR GATE” on page 4-18
.
4.4.4.1 SMALL REMOVABLE EXTENDED REAR GATE
(STANDARD CRADLE)
The small removable Extended Rear Gate can be installed and removed as needed.
The small removable Extended Rear Gate may be mounted as follows:
• Horizontal (1): For aircraft with wheel pants or fairings, along with a Hold Back Bar, by
moving the Side Gates to their outermost positions and then fitting the tabs in the short side
of the gate into the slots in the Side Gates.
• Vertical (2): For normal operations, by fitting the slots in the tall side of the gate over the
Side Gates.
See the
Aircraft Towing Procedures Manual
for instructions on using the small removable
Extended Rear Gate and Hold Back Bar.
