Def nition
A.
Towing.
(1) The airplane can be towed forward or aft on hard surfaces with a yoke-type towbar attached to
the nose wheel. The airplane can also be towed by the nose wheel held on the platform of an
electric towbarless tow vehicle.
(2) The airplane can be towed with a f at tire, but it is not recommended. The airplane can be moved
from an active runway or taxiway with a f at tire. Tow the airplane forward a minimum distance
to clear the runway or taxiway and do not use sudden turns. The tire will be unserviceable, and
the wheel must be examined. Refer to the Supplier's Overhaul Manual given in the Introduction,
Supplier Publication List.
B.
Taxiing.
(1) The airplane can be taxied on a hard surface, gravel, or sod taxiway and runway. The airplane
has a nose wheel steering system. During taxi, the rudder pedal movement operates the nose
steering system.
CAUTION:
Do not use too much engine thrust during a taxi with a f at tire.
Monitor the inter-turbine temperature (ITT) indicator for engine over
temperature.
(2) It is not recommended to taxi the airplane with a f at tire. Under emergency conditions, the
airplane can be taxied a short distance to clear the active runway or taxiway.
