  • Watch from the push-back truck as the world's longest single floor aircraft from Airbus, the A340-600, departs for its 10+ hour flight from Munich to Vancouver as LH476. The aircraft registration was D-AIHW and it left from the all new Terminal 2 Satellite at MUC.

    WOW, so awesome Dan. I love it. What a view from the Pushback Tractor. I love how the tractor grabs the nose wheel and raises it off the ground to move the plane. They don't need a tow bar anymore. Your videos are just awesome!!!!! :)

    Thanks for posting! I had no idea the truck picks up the front wheel and pushes the aircraft away from the gate. I thought that all aircraft were pushed back by a post that's attached to the aircraft's front wheel stem and all wheels are rotating backwards when being pushed. Cheers and greetings from SFO!

  • @TGoKovenant
    @TGoKovenant Před rokem

    You pushed it out at such a sharp angle and put it right on the line. Well done. I usually try to go for a more smooth curve with such large planes so i don't get an over torque. This was awesome to watch. If I may ask, how heavy was the load on the lifter?

  • @irish00011
    @irish00011 Před 7 lety

    An excellent video, and first time recording this operation for you. I might want to suggest a different nomenclature for the description of the vehicle. In a manufacturing plant setting a service vehicle would be referred to as a mule, or a tractor. In the automotive roadside service industry, the vehicle would be referred to as Wrecker, or a Tow Truck. In the Maritime service assistant, the vehicle vessel would be referred to as a tug. In the airport service push back, or being used in a towing situation, the vehicle is known as a tug.

    It's amazing how the pushback truck not only has the power to push back such a heavy aircraft, but also actually lift it up by the nose gear!

    With all that pressure at the base of landing gear it's amazing it doesn't snap.

    • @yoyoyoyoshua
      @yoyoyoyoshua Před 5 lety

      Not really cause once you get the plane rolling it's not hard to move. Also the landing gear is extremely strong. I saw what causes the landing gear to raise and lower on a 767 and shit is huge. Doesn't look like much till you get up close to the landing gear.

  • @pizzasubs
    @pizzasubs Před 5 lety

    those cable that was attached to the planes front landing gear, what was that for? That leak at 7:00, hope that was a normal leak for the plane......

    • @jumpnrun3368
      @jumpnrun3368 Před 5 lety

      not too much. planes are very well balanced. if you unload a 747 in the front first, it will tip over. happened a few times in aviation history. not just in the 747.
