Pushback Hand Signals

[slowto280]

Good day,


Can't seem to locate a Cockpit (Flight Deck nowadays..?) to Ground 'cleared to push' hand signal.


Seems we used to use thumbs pointed to the rear with movement of arm(s) backwards too - I thought surely there is something in writing, piece of cake. No such luck.....


Assistance? :ugh:


Thanks in advance.

I've only ever seen flight deck use 'brakes release' (ie clenched fist to open hand) signal to indicate pushback is permitted. However, this is used in combination with the push-back crew listening to ATC.
