Guest Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 In this case there was no Wing Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I would assume that only the Left seat was occupied as it looks like a positioning tow. Not sure if the rules require someone in the Right seat when towing a jumbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the rules require someone in the Right seat when towing a jumbo. Just a brakeman. There should, however, have bee a wing walker. That being said the loader was also parked inside the restraining line area so the expectations or assumptions of the tow crew would have been that they are clear. Probably done it a thousand times without an issue. Complacency bites hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlupin Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 With the highspeed tractor being used, you don't need a brakeman... Regarding the loader that was hit: The gates all have safety line marking the area that are supposed to be free of equipment until the aircraft parks at the gate. If you look around at the various airports, you will notice that it is quite rare that all the equipment is clear of the parking area. It's one of those rules you seldom see enforced by airport officials. I have seen the odd crew refuse to taxi to the gate until equipment is cleared away but it is the exception... Also, towing is done and permitted at many airlines without the use of wingwalkers at gate area when bringing the airplane in. A standard tow crew will have two people in the tractor and if its not towbarless, a brakeman in the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
