  • @MultiMonster69 thanks bro

  • @MultiMonster69 -> see him/her, shows the pilots the bypass pin and gives them a thumb up, confirming everything's clear, salutes/waves them off and that's pretty much it. Wow, that was a lot, guess I must be really bored, but I hope I've helped!

  • @MultiMonster69 -> Now the starter waits for confirmation from the pilots that both the engines run without fault and that they're ready to taxi out to the runway.

    C: "Ground, we have two good starts, you may disconnect and we will await visual clearance up front."

    G: "Yes sir, disconnecting, please await visual clearance confirmation up front."

    The starter takes out the bypass pin and disconnects the headset, makes sure the intercom hatch is closed and walks up front so the pilots can ->

  • @MultiMonster69 -> C: "Received clearance for push and start, may we release park brakes?" G: "You may release park brakes." C: "Park brakes released." G: "Park brakes are off, commencing pushback." C: "May we start engine number two (right hand turbine)?" G: "Ready two." *same for number one* After the aircraft is pushed to correct drop point; G: "Pushback complete, please set park brakes." C: "Park brakes set." Now, the pushback and towbar are disconnected ->
  • @MultiMonster69 -> Also, they need confirmation from ground that they are clear to start their engines, because they have no visual behind the plane. The procedures on a starting operation varies between different airlines, but it's typically something like this;

    Ground: "Good day/evening cockpit, the ground check is complete, bypass pin installed (unless you use a towbarless pushback tractor), we are ready to push."

    Cockpit: "Roger that, stand by while we ask for clearance to push and start." >

  • @MultiMonster69 I can answer that. Before the towbar is connected, you have to insert a so called "by-pass pin" into the nose gear that disconnects the hydraulics. This means the pilots have no control over where the nose gear turns, it just turns freely together with the towbar. Also, they need to get confirmation from ground that a final ground check is completed, and they need to say when they've been cleared for push and start by the control tower. ->

  • @benjetto what do they need to ask like do the pilots have any control or do they have to turn with the th epushback tug. i hate to ask but could you just explain the procedure

  • That's a little different from my station. We have the guy in the push tug with the headset. Then again our jet tugs don't have covers, well one of them does but the air brakes are fucked up so we don't use it. It almost sent one of our guys through the windshield.

  • bravissimo!!!

    io ho solo visto come si fà...

    chissà se un giorno lo farò anche io...

  • What would you do without us 'Loyal Brits' LOL!!
