RYR taxi with towbar in LPL
Strange incident in LPL yesterday, where a RYR 737 taxi's away before the towbar is pulled clear of the aircraft. From what appears happens, the groundcrew 'forgot' it was there and the crew didnt confirm it was clear.
It ended up being tangled with the main gear and the fire crews having to cut it free!!
Lots of questions for the crew and groundcrew, but is it not SOP to complete the after start checklists and then ask for taxi AFTER the tug, towbar and man is clear of the aircraft?
