To tow the airplane

without a towbar.

NOTE 1: The maximum weight for the towbarless tow vehicle must not be more than 8400 pounds (3 810.18

kg).

3. 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.

gear more than it's limits.

(2) Steering is done with the towbar or the t owbarless v ehicle when the airplane is to wed.

B. An approved person must be in the airplane during th e tow operation to be prepared for dangerous

conditions.

(1) Put p ersonnel to walk with the wing an d/or the tail to ma ke sure that there is suff cient clearance

between the airp lane and adjacent equipment and str uc tures.

2. Tools and Equipment

A. For a list of t ools and equipment, refer to Towing and Taxiing - General.

3. Nose Landing Gear Towing

A. To w the Airpl ane (Refer to Figure 202).

CAUTION: Make sure that there is suff cient weight forward of the center of gravity.

Addweightor removeweightasnecessary toadjustthe centerof gravity

for interior conf gurations or an airplane without fuel.

CAUTION: Do not turn the nose landing gear more than an angle of 75 degrees

to the right or to the left side of center. A nose gear that goes beyond

the tow stop (75 degree limit) will break the stop bolts on the top of the

trunnion an d cause dama ge to the nosew he el steering system.

CAUTION: Do not move the airplane in 15 minutes or lessafter the standby attitude

indicator gyro has stopped. This can cause damage to the gyro.

CAUTION: Make sure that the recomm ended towbar is used. Make sure that the

towbar is in good condition, inspect the towbar at intervals for cracks

and condition.

CAUTION: Do not use the nose landing gear to release the airplane if it becomes
