All true, however all I was saying is that this procedure is NOT called a "pushback".
I am also familiar with the nose lifter, they used it at Lufthansa in Frankfurt when I was there.

Finally Mobile Phones To Be Used On Aircraft.
This is one of my favourite subjects. :wink: While I would not particularly want to be in the cabin with 200 people all using mobile phones at once :roll: I have never believed that they are actually a danger to the modern Aircraft. 8O Now confirmation from Siemens. :D Mobile phones @ 30,000 feet? S...

What Airline does a pushback like that? 8O In my 40 years in the Industry, working all over the World, I have never heard of such a pushback on any Aircraft? :?: The tractor and towbar are normally connected to the NLG, and they go to a lot of trouble to isolate the NWS systems, usually with some so...

The shocker of the year was America West's announced purchase of two 747 aircraft, and a route application for Sydney service. Sydney would be denied, but Honolulu would still be added with the new (used) aircraft. The much-touted Bird of Paradise wide-body service started on November 15, 1989, with...

This is a good topic. :wink: I know there are rules, and you must obey them. :roll: However I honestly believe this is a load of rubbish about not using mobile phones on Aircraft. In the USA people use their cell phones as they call them, during taxi out, and as soon as the Aircraft lands and is tax...
