Hi all
Is there any documentation or best practise annotated anywhere for the following ground towing scenarios
This is not pushback for departure but ground towing to maintenance or another stand.
An aircraft tow being done with the aircraft facing forward but the tug facing towards the aircraft so the driver has to look over his shoulder to make sure he is going where he should be !!
I know some tugs are double ended and cabs are raised or the seat swivels but some of the smaller tugs don't have this luxury.
I don't think this is best practise or indeed should be allowed but is there anything written down.
thanks in advance
