Aircraft Puskback Training
 
Hi,

I'm new to the forum and need some advice on training for aircraft towing and pushback.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any organisations that specifically carry out such training and also if anyone knows where I can find industry standards and rules and regulations regarding aircraft pushback?

Furthermore, I have heard that simulators are now available to aid such practices, does anyone have any further information about who supplies such simulators or indeed whether they are worthwhile?

I would really appreciate it if you could help me with some info.

Thanks a lot,

Honez

Almost all the handling agents at UK airports (e.g. Aviance, Servisair, Airways Handling, etc.) do their own training in-house but will train people outside thier companies for a modest fee.

Instructions for towing an aircraft are in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.

You can search the CAA website for publications regarding push-back and airfield operations, you might find something there.

The airfield operator (airport) will have its own instructions/requirements as well.

CAP 637 covers airfield signs and markings. Here's a link for a pdf copy ; http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP637.PDF

Hope that helps?
