I do know for a fact that to airlines that fly the EMB 145 do diconnect the steering bypass circuit breaker on arrival as it is in thier checklist for shut down.
Ground crews are supposed to check with the flt deck that this is pulled before tow bar connection.
It is then re-connected after push and after towbar has been disconnect and ground equipment clear.
Again I still would like to stress that different airlines have different procedures for pushing and towing.
The most common aircraft that company's like both NLG & Depressure pins fitted are the SAAB 340 & 2000.
