TOWING PRACTICES
1. INFORMATION
This section of this sub-chapter provides information on towing procedures for the Model 390 airplane.
Towing involves ground movement of the airplane without engine operation and is the preferred method
of airplane positioning. The airplane may be towed by a powered tug. The airplane is normally towed at
the nose wheel, but main gear towing may be necessary if the airplane is off the pavement in rough,
muddy or snow-covered ground. Nose wheel steering may be performed by use of the tow bar during
main gear towing.
Refer to Chapter 20-52-00, 201 for information on tools and equipment referenced in Table 201.
