AS A GENERAL RULE, APPLY FORCE TO AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE ONLY ON MAIN
STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS FRAMES, RIBS OR SPARS.
1.7.4 Towing
The aircraft can be towed pulling it by the propeller. Never push it by the tail surface or the tail cone
as well. When pulling by the propeller, the nose wheel will rotate freely following the direction
decided by the pilot permitting to address the aircraft to the desired place.
When/if backwards movements are required, lower at first the tail raising the nose wheel and then
pull backward the aircraft or turn it as necessary.
See ANNEX A (Document & Miscellaneous group) for more details about this operation.
1.7.5 Taxiing
When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes are minimized and that all controls are
utilized to maintain directional control and balance. Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be
done at low engine speed to avoid abrasion and pebbles damage to the propeller.
NOTE
DO NOT accelerate over loose gravel or cinders or propeller damage will result.
