Driving with aircraft

The approval of the aircraft types which may be towed by AST isobtained in cooperation with the user of the tractors, the aircraftmanufacturer and Goldhofer.Anyway, the user must observe and follow the directives of the aircraftmanufacturer as given for instance in the “Aircraft Facility Handbook”with regard to the maximum steering angle as well as otherspecifications for aircraft towing.Only aircraft types with existing approval of AST may be moved by AST.(See also “IMPORTANT INFORMATION”)

Aircraft selection chart

In case of correct aircraft selection, the PLC releases the drive.In case of incorrect aircraft selection (drive is not released), the driver must select therequired aircraft and confirm. On the chart on the left side you can see the required aircraftselection of AST to tow an aircraft.

Pick-up of aircraft

Travel “without load” comes to an end after the operator has driven the AST under/in frontof the aircraft nose. Before approaching the nose gear you must turn the seat to face theback and lower the loading platform to the ground.

To pick-up the aircraft, the AST must be in alignment with thelongitudinal axis of the aircraft (no cornering).The AST must be centered to the aircraft nose-gear, i.e. no lateral offset!To move the aircraft, the steering hydraulics of the aircraft must bede-activated. During the pick-up procedure, watch the working areacarefully.

Pick-up of the aircraft is only possible when the seat is turned to face the back.

Pick-up of aircraft

Worksteps

1. Turn the driver’s seat to face the back

2. Lower the pick-up device- lift the white ring 4.1.1- put the control lever 4.1 forward- pull arms are extended, swivel arms are open- pick- up device is on the ground, TDM displays „platform is down”- set the control lever 4.1 to “NEUTRAL” position

3. Select the required drive stage / aircraft and confirm- TDM displays „select drive stage / aircraft”- select the required drive stage with the arrow button 1, 2, 3 or 4 / aircraft S1 -AC4- confirm the selected drive stage / aircraft with the confirmation button related toit.

4. De-activate the steering on the nose-gear of the aircraft and confirm the by-pass-status on the AST.

5. Approach the nose-gear of the aircraft carefully until the aircraft tractor touchesthe nose-wheel.

6. Move the travel direction lever to “NEUTRAL” position

7. Bring the steering straight-ahead- Watch the steering position indicator

The AST pulls itself with its pick-up device under the nose wheel of theaircraft. The pull arms are assisted by the drive during the pick-up of theaircraft.That is why the service and parking brake must not be actuated duringthe pick-up procedure.

8. Pick-up of aircraft- lift the white ring 4.1.1- set the control lever 4.1 rearward- swivel arms close, pull arms are retracted- pick-up device is lifted to driving position- TDM signals that AST is ready for driving.

The pick-up procedure is completed, when the message “AST ready for driving” isdisplayed on the TDM panel.

Release of aircraft

To release the aircraft, the AST must be in alignment with thelongitudinal axis of the aircraft (no cornering).Before release of the aircraft, it must be secured against rolling.After release of the aircraft, the steering hydraulics of the aircraft mustbe activated.During release, the working area must be carefully watched.

The AST pushes itself from under the aircraft: That is why the service andparking brake must not be actuated during the release procedure.

Worksteps:

1. Turn the driver’s seat to face the back

2. Set steering straight-ahead and release the brakes

3. Release of aircraft- Lift the white ring 4.1.1- Put the control lever 4.1 forward- Pick- up device goes down, pull arms are extending- TDM displays “platform is down”- Set the control lever 4.1 to “NEUTRAL” position

4. Drive the aircraft tractor carefully forward

Before lifting the pick-up device to “no load” driving position, driveaway from the aircraft.

5. Lift the pick-up device to “no load” driving position- Lift the white ring 4.1.1- Press the button in the lever (keep depressed during procedure)- Put the control lever 4.1 rearward- Swivel arms close, pull arms retract- the pick-up deviceis lifting to driving position- TDM displays “AST ready to drive”

Location, identification of controls / Emergency operation

D = Normal driving position (Driving Position)

E = Emergency position of controls (Emergency Release)

In condition of emergency operation, the vehicle must be controlled andmoved very carefully.Only after elimination of the fault, the vehicle may be operated again.Only after release of the aircraft, the AST may be towed off and operatedwith the emergency system for brake, emergency driving and steering.During operation of the AST with the emergency system for brake,emergency driving and steering, the AST should only be moved atwalking speed.If the AST is not in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft,and an emergency release must be started, the AST may be moved inthese exceptional cases by means of the emergency systems ”brakeand steering” to position the AST in alignment with the aircraft.

After “emergency operation” all controls must be re-set to normaldriving position.

If the drive system or the electronic control fails, but the engine is stilloperatable, the AST can be braked and steered.

Emergency Release of Aircraft

Prior to the “emergency release” of the aircraft from the AST, theaircraft and the AST must be secured against rolling (wheel chocksunder main gear of aircraft, parking brake of AST).For emergency release of the aircraft, the AST must be in alignment withthe longitudinal axis of the aircraft (no cornering).During the emergency release procedure, everybody must keep out ofthe working area of the pick-up device. Risk of accident !!!

Lowering of pick-up device:

The AST must be able to roll during the emergency release. (See “emergencyrelease of brake”, if necessary).

1. Secure the aircraft against rolling, put wheel chocks under main gear.

2. Open the panel and set the on/off valve (ZA17) to E

3. Set the 4-off on/off valve (ZA16) to E

4. The pick-up device is automatically lowered to the ground.The hydraulic cylinders of the pick-up device (locking cylinders, swivel cylindersand holddown) are de-activated.
