1. You don't have to store different tow-bars for different a/c types. This is especially good for ground handlers who handle different airlines with different aircraft types. Also handy for ad-hoc one-off flights. 2. Removing need for tow-bars means one thing less to check daily, weekly, monthly, annually. 3. Towing with a tow-bar requires a man in the cockpit to ride the brakes (brake-rider). This also means the aircraft may require power (either from APU or from the towing vehicle) to supply hydraulic pressure. An aircraft towed with a towbar is dependent on the aircraft brakes if a sudden stop is required as the towbar will not be able to take the weight of the aircraft on its own on decelerations. 4. A normal tug (which uses towbar) needs to be very heavy to enable it to tow an aircraft. Without the weight, the tug will just spin its wheels. The tow--barless tug will have the weight of the aircraft on its wheels so it doesn't need to be as heavy. Just solidly built to support the engine and associated hydraulic stuff. This weight also makes the brakes more effective. 5. A towbarless can tow the aircraft faster as control is way better. In some busy airports they only allow you to move the aircraft across busy taxiways or during peak hours if it is either taxied under its own power or towed by a towbarless tug. Towing using tow-bar is not allowed as it is very slow. 6. The tow-bar has 'shear pins' which limit the force which can be applied through the nosewheel towbar points. This reduces the towing speed. They can and do break once in a while. While a spare is usually carried in somewhere on the 'bar it still stakes a few minutes to get in installed. Not fun in the middle of a pushback and may result in a blocked taxiway. 7. A lot of injuries are caused by towbars. Either they jacknife when something fails or a lapse in procedure caused the nosewheel steering to be activated before the bar has been disconnected. The danger here is the nosewheel is self-centering in almost all aircraft and will swing the bar if the nosewheel is not centered. Scary to see and can take your legs out.
1) although most tow bars are aircraft specific it is possible to use one tow bar on multiple aircraft 2) 6 bolts and pin vs an entire hydraulics system 3) Brake rider is required regardless of towing apparatus 4) That approximately 20,00lbs difference in weight helps big time during snow and inclement weather operations 5) Tow bar tractors allow far better control and precision guidance of the aircraft. Once you start shifting gears and get the tractor into D6 you'll realize its just as fast as a towbarless its far easier to swing a towbarless tractor under an aircraft 6) Sensor on the towbarless often prematurely engages stopping the push as it feels nose gear angle is been exceeded requiring operator the override 7) False towbar pushes have come to the point that carriers are experimenting with Single point disconnect. no longer requiring disconnecting from the tractor then the aircraft they are safe as long as the nose wheel is aligned correctly. 8) towbars are superior to towbarless in they DO NOT require taxiways or ramp spaces to be completely flat to complete the push 9) hooking up the towbar and tractor in tight spaces is an absolute breeze tractor is not required to be 100% straght with laser designator Make no mistake I absolutely love operating the TLD TPX-500/200 however outside those two I dont particularly care for towbarless unless its a sunny day and i'm expecting no impediments.
The nose gear usually carries up to a maximum of 15 % of the plane's weight. If we take a Boeing 737-900 as an example this means up to 11,850 kg (26,124 lbs). Structurally about the same as in fifth wheel coupling of semi-trailer, lifting 12 tons for any hydraulics is not a problem - retaining ring of semiaxle requires 6 tons to disengage, which is done by manual table press
i just want to say i love to fly i love big airplanes and to see the under care is fantastic...i love the behind the scences...because if if crashes they attack the ground crew...so fyi i love this video...fyi i pray all flights are safe...most are much love goes from my heart to all of you...and fyi if you work on a plane be strong tell some one if you ever have an issue...omg...stand up and be strong so we all can enjoy flight.....thanks for shareing...
That depands of P/B trucks they use. Before they used steering pin now they lift fron wheel up but also steering pin is still in use in smaller airports.
Bypass pin is used in every type of pushback procedure on every airport in the world (when aircraft type supports usage of the pin). It has nothing to do with lifting up the aircraft or pushing using towbar.
At 6:13 you can see the nose gear steering reactivate after the pin is removed! 3000 PSI will move almost anything. (edit: look at the wheel on the left.)
Much more environmentally friendly since the tug is completely electric and reduces the risk of damage or injuring to a ramp worker by cradling the nose gear instead of pushing against it with a steal tow bar.
wow. amazing video. can i share this video on my facebook page and youtube channel ? cuz i'm running a facebook page and youtube for "who want's to be pilot" . :)

Mohammed Elrasheed the headset is to comunícate with the pilot they tell us when to push back because they have to do a check list and get the permission from the tower control to go out and that push back is only for wide body planes normally we used a tow Bart and regular truck
Seriously I never thought front wheel gets lifted in this process. Actually airlines can save on fuel a lot (with monetory benefit as well) if this PB trucks take this till RW start.
This is somewhat new technology. They are called "Super Tugs". Mostly used by maintenance to reposition to the hangar and back, or from gate to gate. Very expensive piece of machinery. The drivers seat fully swivels, so it can be driven while pushing and pulling.
Many reasons: 1. Easier to push without a bar. 2. Once pushback is complete not having the hassle of disconnecting the bar. 3. Tug driver doesn't need to get out at all. 4. Probably the best reason, perfect for towing to different stands. 5. Cool as hell!
hey, I was wondering what that yellow wire between the tug and the plane is/does? I've never seen it used on tugs with towbars, only with towbarless tugs
The steering bypass pin. It disconnects the nose gear from the hydraulic system so we can turn the aircraft without damage. When the pin is removed and the nose gear inst straight it will 'snap' into position as the steering pressurizes again.
@@ikarlhd1 hit it right on the nose. For airports that use a standard towbar, you need the bypass pin otherwise if you still have the towbar connected it could snap back to straight and the towbar goes flying into the shins of the ground crew disconnecting the pushback from the plane Showing it to the pilot is how they notify the pilots that they're good to go, they kinda wave the plane off
I pushed back commercial aircraft for almost 20 yrs and we had the standard tow bar with pin. That was much faster ,and I personally could have parked any of the landing gear on a dime in the dark. That EQ used looked very expensive.and can't figure out the benefit to it.
jjaus not that this applies to the aircraft but I think with the larger aircrafts like the 747 and a380 need this type of pushback instead of just the tow tug
Better off with a towbar and regular pushback that looks way to time consuming for turn flights only use I see that for is towing to hard stands or maintenance hangars
wow ... it's amazing to see the technology that is used in these great machines. I loved the pushback and the dreamliner.

Power of gears and hydraulics!
Hi niko
With that I can continue building my lego airport :D
2:33 those hydraulics have to be insanely powerful to left the front of the plane jeez

Very awesome I have never seen this up close before and I really enjoyed it Thank You🙂🙂🙂
What a strange perspective - most informative - and enjoyable.
This is honestly amazing
Working around a Dreamliner... my ultimate dream job.
My ultimate dream job is WORKING IN A 787 9 DREAMLINER ITSELF
I would like to work on the dream lifter

Holy cow! I had no idea that’s how that worked! Thanks!

You truly don’t get a sense of how massive these planes are unless you are on the ground.
Well, I never knew they lifted the front wheel up. I always thought it was guided by the pushback vehicle
That depands of P/B trucks they use. Before they used steering pin now they lift fron wheel up but also steering pin is still in use in smaller airports.
Ayrton Hockaday me to man
Bypass pin is used in every type of pushback procedure on every airport in the world (when aircraft type supports usage of the pin). It has nothing to do with lifting up the aircraft or pushing using towbar.
czcams.com/video/oAYUvaZZTZ4/video.html : this here shows a pushback on a B777 without lifting, using the pin a few have mentioned on here.
There’s a bypass pin on it. It’s just really small compared to what I used to use...
Nice memories, as I worked at HAM Airport for 7 Years
Wow
Wow. I have never seen like this before.
Thx for pushback ground team.
You guys are awesome!
Front wheel is lifted ? Wow. Beautuful close up of the push back's activity. Just Great.
I liked the old days, when Paul Bunyan just pushed the tail down and walked it around to where it needed to be.
Very grateful to see this video . Thank you .
Wow that's a spectacular video man thank you so much for sharing gorgeous airplane gorgeous livery
beautiful sky
The beauty of the internet thank you
are you asking for a ❤ from him?
Amazing vid! Absolutely fascinating !👏🏻 Sad to see Monarch and Thomas Cook aircraft in the background 😢👍🏻👊🏻
Proud Aircraft Technical✈️
Nice Video. I nevers saw a pushback so close
That is one strong tractor! Lifting the entire nose of the plane
I want to see the next airport simulator game with this kind of detail :D

Beautiful video! Loved it
Wow..talk about power and manuevering...awesome...
6:00 looks like the airplane is going reverse.. hahah, funny!
Haha 😂 😂 😂 yeah 😂
its trippy as balls looking at it
What a long time for pushback
At 6:13 you can see the nose gear steering reactivate after the pin is removed! 3000 PSI will move almost anything.
(edit: look at the wheel on the left.)
Outstanding video. Subscribed
“Tow connected and bypass pin inserted, release parking brake”
Aaron R better pushback lol
@@Rich-sm3ho its GSX
Zod better pushback have the same sound
Alright
Better pushback for X-Plane 11 LOL
Dear Sir...
Good to see you...
Nice and awesome Video
Good Job My Bro..
God bless you..
This is very complex engineering🙌
Awesome, very nice !!!
That livery looks like a big fishing lure in person.
Much more environmentally friendly since the tug is completely electric and reduces the risk of damage or injuring to a ramp worker by cradling the nose gear instead of pushing against it with a steal tow bar.
pretty interesting!
Grazie per il video👍
Ok wow i did not know they lift the front of the aircraft
This different style of pushback vehicle design might also work on flat tires on nosegear
Amazing
Amazing how that front wheel assembly can take the strain to push 400 ton
excellent video! what is the brand of the TBL?
2:30
Good
wow. amazing video. can i share this video on my facebook page and youtube channel ? cuz i'm running a facebook page and youtube for "who want's to be pilot" . :)
so this is the job of ground support equipment operator?

TBL took the fun out of pushing a plane back
AMAZINGLY AMAZING
Gaming Lab q
Thanks
wow awsome
notice the man in right side at 2:02 disappeared may be for the transition in video editing
He was sucked by the engine.
I never felt the plane go up a bit when in a plane.
Oh my goodness a huge airplanes oh my goodness
How cool! And you get paid for that!
I really like these ground staff
They are punk
Well done
I read the title and 😍 2:26 RYANAIR!!! they buttered idk
ryanair--they push by hand.
If I didn't be a pilot i'l be a ramp guy
thank you for this video. Q. please, what are the differences between headset with pushback and headset with marshalling?
I think with pushback, the headset is used to communicate with the pilots and to block out the sound while marshaling one in is to block out the sound
Mohammed Elrasheed the headset is to comunícate with the pilot they tell us when to push back because they have to do a check list and get the permission from the tower control to go out and that push back is only for wide body planes normally we used a tow Bart and regular truck
Cuanto falta para que le pongan una marcha atrás a los aviones???
what's that guy with the green rope/wire doing?
2:24 Look in the background. And see Ryanair.....
that tug can lift around about 6 different type of aircraft,
RIP monarch
2:40 and 6:10 that Monarch plane in the background
Seriously I never thought front wheel gets lifted in this process. Actually airlines can save on fuel a lot (with monetory benefit as well) if this PB trucks take this till RW start.

Want to know about that yellow curl wire that is attached with airplane and pushback truck… what's the use of that???
That is two-way radio communication between the pushback driver/ crew and the pilot.
What is the reason for lifting the landing gear? Can not you just push?
Many reasons:
1. Easier to push without a bar.
2. Once pushback is complete not having the hassle of disconnecting the bar.
3. Tug driver doesn't need to get out at all.
4. Probably the best reason, perfect for towing to different stands.
5. Cool as hell!
what's the difference between this and /watch?v=_9c2dNR2fUY??
hey, I was wondering what that yellow wire between the tug and the plane is/does? I've never seen it used on tugs with towbars, only with towbarless tugs
It's the headset wire so I can communicate to the flight deck.
What is that red strap I always see them pulling out and showing the pilot?
The steering bypass pin. It disconnects the nose gear from the hydraulic system so we can turn the aircraft without damage. When the pin is removed and the nose gear inst straight it will 'snap' into position as the steering pressurizes again.
@@ikarlhd1 hit it right on the nose. For airports that use a standard towbar, you need the bypass pin otherwise if you still have the towbar connected it could snap back to straight and the towbar goes flying into the shins of the ground crew disconnecting the pushback from the plane

different design in US Airports?
Which salary is higher Ramp agent or Fuel agent?
Well, l never knew they lifted front wheel
Is it towbarless?
Nice from 🇳🇴
How can such a small thing push so much weight?
Cool=- I watched that very plane roll past my desk in the Boeing factory...
Why are there no wing walkers?
We don't really use them in the UK.
one part of aviation the pilots wish they also did.
Is there any education background to this field of work?
nice
What does the guy with lead do? Sorry if previously answered.
He's talking to the flight deck and looking out for anything unusual along with being the eyes for the tug driver in blind spots.
LGrima, thankyou. 👍👍. Stay safe.
I never knew that they need to lift the nose wheel to pushback😂
me neither. is that for every aircraft?
@@Ibo2630 No. Some aircrafts use the steering pin, the yellow thing
Nope Nope to? Just push the wheels?
I pushed back commercial aircraft for almost 20 yrs and we had the standard tow bar with pin. That was much faster ,and I personally could have parked any of the landing gear on a dime in the dark. That EQ used looked very expensive.and can't figure out the benefit to it.
Does the pushback vehicle have another name?
TUG?
Alessandro Tullini Someone told me it is also called Paymover
"Super Tug".
Takes too long. What happened to the quick and easy hookup?
Logan Airport?
i didn't know they lifted up the entire front of the plane
🇧🇷✌️
2:23, is that the airplane's horn that the captain uses to notify you for pushback?
Sccratlanta not all planes do. You'll only find them on big aircrafts like these
This horn is from the P/B truck indicating that it is ready for pushback.
Kevin the pilot has a frequency to talk to the pushback driver on
I like this job how to learn
Man,would have been quicker to use a regular push back tractor.
Impressive, but it looks like it takes quite a bit longer than a tow tug.
jjaus not that this applies to the aircraft but I think with the larger aircrafts like the 747 and a380 need this type of pushback instead of just the tow tug
Better off with a towbar and regular pushback that looks way to time consuming for turn flights only use I see that for is towing to hard stands or maintenance hangars
chances of damaging the tires are greater than using a tow bar, I think.
Luar biasa👍
