[QUOTE=Perrin]AFTER 42 YEARS AS A LAE I HAVE NEVER I REPEAT NEVER PUT IN A DOWNLOCK PIN FOR A PUSH BACK AND HAVE NEVER WORKED FOR A AIRLINE (6) THAT WANTED YOU DO.
Why do two airlines (that I know for a fact) fit them on push back this is referring back to the NLG & De-pressure pin on SAAB 340 / 2000?
The procedure is to hand pins back to the Captain through a hatch after completion of pushback. (TO ELIMINATE PROBLEM OF LEAVING EITHER PINS IN)
I do admit that this can not be done on large / wide body a/c.
If Company procedures are slack?
Should an ASR / EOR be filed?
