Ah, so long as the brakes are off (see first sequence!!) and the apron is flat, I don't think it takes that much to start it rolling. Still, I don't see them giving up on tugs any time soon.
When I worked at BHX, I've actually seen the aftermath of a baggage truck hit an Airbus nosewheel, and a mobile baggage conveyor take a chunk out of an F100 wing, to name just two incidents that spring to mind. Both a/c were out of commission for quite a length of time. The joys of putting ground handling out to the cheapest tender.
Yep, I've been in that situation where they replaced us experienced ground crew for cheaper contractors that hire basically kids with minimal experience. I used to work for Qantas and now they outsourced all their work to Swissport and the CEO got a seven figure pay rise for it.
On that first video: it helps to release the aircraft's brakes first before pulling hard with the tug. For those who don't know, that aircraft tug weighs slightly over 42,000 pounds and has a lot of pulling power.
They're designed to do that. They're weaker than the nose gear, so the tow bar fails before the gear does. On that MD80 they were using the wrong tow bar.
The airlines don't provide the airport tugs. If I were to guess, they wanted to get out of there on schedule when no tug was currently available. Time for some quick 💪.
@0:06 *you could see the pushback driver going to breakdown after the incindent, how sad. Imagining you're a father and need to work hard for your family and unfortunately this happened* 😢 👇👍🏻 if u feel the same
I am surprised Manual Pushback is not more commonly know to happen elsewhere... As I watched, i was thinking why is that part of the video an accident... 😂 See back when I worked with aviation, we used to push a crj900 manually quite often after maintenace checks... Turns out we were being weird... lol.
Im surprised they didnt push the tires on that manual pushback. At least to get it moving. Pushing the tires gives you the mechanical advantage over pushing the strut. And touching the tires is a perfectly safe thing to do.
I didn't know that a manual push back was even a thing? When would this typically be used? Is it just something reserved for when an aircraft makes an emergency landing at an airport and they don't have the relevant towards bars etc?
On that "manual pushback" they could have gotten it going a lot quicker and with a lot less people if they were pushing on the wheels instead of landing gear supports. My father and 3 other people rolled back a fully loaded 737 doing it that way.
that EMB-175 weighs in around 85,600 lbs fully loaded to it's max takeoff weight, that is 42 tons of dead weight that cannot move by itself. unless they put it in reverse thrust
Ja, Plane came to stop, ENG #2 Off , APU - i dont know. ENG #1 still running. Beacon still on. He wanted to place the cone in front of ENG 2 and the cone was sucked in. He was a Little bit too fast. He needed to wait until the beacon was switched off. I guess he could not hear the ENG. In the start of the Clip you can see the guy in front of the plane just wanted to place the blocks so ... it wasnt the start up, it was the parking of the a/c.
Man, that Delta 747 was a close call. Guys hooking up the tow bar almost got ran over. (Guys I probably know). Years back, I worked that gate many times.
I don't understand what would have made the 747 move forward when it was already stationary, with a tug right there and people working all around the plane. That's crazy dangerous.. especially when everyone started running away parallel to the engine.. wow!
jasminderpinder I can tell you exactly what caused it, a grumpy, old, impatient as shit captain that is always in a hurry for no damn reason! And this is what happens to them.
Probably thrust lever got bumped or something? That's all I can think of but I'd assume there is something to lock it in place to prevent that from happening?
Rusty S -- Nope, this was caused by idiotic ground crew, according to the FAA accident report. See the guy in the lower right hand corner of the image? He decided he needed to signal the crew for some reason, then sloppily dropped his hands in a manner that was very close to the "proceed on your own" signal, which is what the pilot did.
At 1:35, a person in a white hoodie clearly threw something into that engine and then walked off. There was no "cone" visible near that engine prior to that. If he used a cone, it appears to be deliberate.
@@Sweedster no. Look at his arm. He threw it into the engine. And he was standing way too close to a.running engine as it was. Absolute moron whos gonna get himself killed.
oopsie with the tug there pulling the entire front wheel assembly out the plane. and it only takes 8 people to push a plane like that? wow and the ramp worker at 1:38 just fired himself as for the clip with the 747... someone forgot to set the parking brake

Imagine Ryanair hearing about this "Manual Pushback" thing, crowds would form in parking spots and runways 😂😂
To many people to pay
@@davidfernandez9791 passengers from last flight ;)
They gon make the pax do it, gotta make em flights even cheaper boi
no you mean Easyjet
$20 off if you help push the plane out!
Wouldn't want the nose gear collapsing on that manual pushback!
They can just be the landing gear
@@Butter-or2yo imagine how fast they'd have to run on takeoff!
@@jonhartley7445 lol
*Rest of the world:* Ok! We have to cancel the flight because the push back tug is broken!
*Russian Men: Hold our Vodkas!*
Manual pushback? I've seen it all now, just waiting for a manual takeoff!
Realy... LOL 😅😅😅
Didn’t know a plane was that light
@@andrewgonick Thats a very small plane. But the manual pushback is quite amazing though!
Planes can't reverse themselves.... they also can't turn on engines that close to the building, so it has to be pushed back manually, away from people
@@arrow5726 No shit, a vehicle is used to push it back no 10 people.
0:07 Gear up, gear down, gear ripped clean of 😂
Those were very informative videos and it can help me to learn from others' mistakes to increase the awareness at my work, thank you
0:05 That is when you know you are fired.
Wow humans are suprizingly strong. Damn!
Ah, so long as the brakes are off (see first sequence!!) and the apron is flat, I don't think it takes that much to start it rolling. Still, I don't see them giving up on tugs any time soon.
Norwegian Power, I saw one person with Widerø Logo, Pluss some norwgian talking. That is a Norwgian company that provides airplane services :P
Tor Aronsen It's in Bodø Airport/AFB (ENBO), Norway. The tug didn't fit the nose gear, so the ground crew improvised.
Ever heard of pyramids?
It is relatively easy. I've push started a full 49 seat express bus before now when it had a flat battery

Never heard of a manual pushback of an airliner. Wow
Never thought a manual pushback was possible.
Thats amazing :)
never seen before manual push back. "literally man pushing back the aircraft" lol
I've done it with a Cessna 152 and a 172. I never knew you could do that with something THAT big.
That man trying to stop that cone almost made a very fatal mistake.
On that first video: it helps to release the aircraft's brakes first before pulling hard with the tug. For those who don't know, that aircraft tug weighs slightly over 42,000 pounds and has a lot of pulling power.
1:35 They were probably yelled at for months
That nose wheel didn’t collapse on that MD-88. It was disemboweled.
Wow, I didn’t know hoomans were that strong! Pushing a plane back at the same speed as a literal tug!
It doesn't take much to push a plane.
that third one looked deliberate
What has to happen when only PB tractor is InOp!! Nice job Delta lololol
I remember I was on a British airways 747 going from San Fransisco to London heathrow and as we were pushing back the push bar apparently snapped.
They're designed to do that. They're weaker than the nose gear, so the tow bar fails before the gear does. On that MD80 they were using the wrong tow bar.
@@TrentonLipscomb Universal towing arm...Incorrect shear pin.
Shear pins are designed to break if torque tolerances are exceeded. Better that than damage to aircraft, tug or people!
$300M plane, zero front facing cameras for downward visibility.
1:36 that remained me of a specific race scene in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace...
Awesome!
So a manual pushback could be done also on a 747 or an A380.
If You have enough people on shift... who knows.
A380 has more landing gear to have people pushing against! :-)
With the reverse thrusters in the right position, one person could push back a 380.
Give me a long enough lever...
even on an antonov 225 :)
The second one is my brother flying 😂😂😂
0:30 When low-cost airlines go to the extreme.
@Bora lá!!! do you know humor?
It's crazy how the manual pushback is faster than with the pushback truck.
good vídeos, Brasil ok.
oh man, that's crazy !!
That was a lovely Sukhoi SSJ being pushed back manually.
0:45 That must be one hell of a low cost airline! 😜
The airlines don't provide the airport tugs. If I were to guess, they wanted to get out of there on schedule when no tug was currently available. Time for some quick 💪.
1:38
He threw something in the engine and he walk like nothing happened ..
Evil
He put a cone in front of the engine and it sucked it up.
What a moron.
I'm sure he got fired.
@@philmontejano5971
And at that distance he could be sucked
I am sure he is still paying for the damages.
Looked to me like he was trying to throw a wheel stop on the ground...and missed...
Badly.
This was awesome to watch - why the pushback on the Sukhoi Superjet 100?
@0:06 *you could see the pushback driver going to breakdown after the incindent, how sad. Imagining you're a father and need to work hard for your family and unfortunately this happened* 😢
👇👍🏻 if u feel the same
Why are you so weird
The md-80's shock strut was ripped away from the nose gear assembly watch and you'll see all the strut fluid fall on to the ground!
Thank you for using apron and not tarmac. You are a first on youtube.
Суперджет лучший на этом видео!
Isnt it scary how sensitive these large machinese carrying hundreds of people at a time are.
I am surprised Manual Pushback is not more commonly know to happen elsewhere... As I watched, i was thinking why is that part of the video an accident... 😂 See back when I worked with aviation, we used to push a crj900 manually quite often after maintenace checks...

Now i know how they push start s plane when the batteries are dead!😂
Would be interesting to see a "manual" takeoff
😅😅😅🤣
Wow I didn't know that people could push such a heavy metal tub
plane:push me human!!!!!muhahaha!!!
First clip is great. Talking about get plastered before surgery. Great idea
Still trying to figure out what a "collition" is???
Steve still trying to figure what "Fick" is, when everyone spells it as "FUCK"
PS. Just a joke...Peace
Steve Fick
Stop being a smart ass, it's just a simple spelling error. If you can't figure out what it is by watching the video than you're an idiot.
Are you kidding? I'm a terrible speller. My teacher learned me good.
A collition is what happens when Mike Tyson hits his car off stuff
Steve Fick it is a cooperative accident, combining elements of a coalition and a collision.
Im surprised they didnt push the tires on that manual pushback. At least to get it moving.
Pushing the tires gives you the mechanical advantage over pushing the strut.
And touching the tires is a perfectly safe thing to do.
what kind of company would allow their employees to manually push an aircraft? so many safety violations
Potato-cam extravaganza.
not collapsed, snipped!
Yup that tow tug ripped the nose wheel off, i`d say the park brake was not released...!
GazzeTa....sPorTiva Gazzetta Sportiva la Gazzetta dello Sport
wow that is going to leave a mark!
Just consider how many accidents were not caught on film or reported.
Next to none in the majority of airports.
What part of the apron, ramp, or runway is the tarmac
The first 00:10 the towing arms shear pin should have gone before the nose leg.
Ok now i want to see manual push back for the AN-225
same lol
I didn't know that a manual push back was even a thing? When would this typically be used?
Is it just something reserved for when an aircraft makes an emergency landing at an airport and they don't have the relevant towards bars etc?
im pretty sure its done as a joke for the video
É muita falta de atenção!!
That was too funny....haha
I've watched strong men pull plane's so that's good
Once upon a time I helped at manual push-forward, to save JAS-39 from drowning, during heavy rainstorm at an airshow.
The md80 forgot the parking brake xd
The second clip wasn't even a fail an the first one was the gear being ripped by the tug not collapseing.
LEAST WE KNOW THOSE PARKING BRAKES WORK IN CASE WE ARE ABOUT TO RUN INTO A WALL
The manual pushback on the C Series... Holy shit
On that "manual pushback" they could have gotten it going a lot quicker and with a lot less people if they were pushing on the wheels instead of landing gear supports. My father and 3 other people rolled back a fully loaded 737 doing it that way.
that EMB-175 weighs in around 85,600 lbs fully loaded to it's max takeoff weight, that is 42 tons of dead weight that cannot move by itself. unless they put it in reverse thrust
True
leverage !!!!
Re: the cone - why were the engines running before pushback? Or had it just parked before shutdown?
Ja, Plane came to stop, ENG #2 Off , APU - i dont know. ENG #1 still running. Beacon still on. He wanted to place the cone in front of ENG 2 and the cone was sucked in. He was a Little bit too fast.

8 People to move and Embraer from stand-still..... Wow
Awesome
I didn't understand what happened in the second to the last incident
The Second is best yeah man power
Man, that Delta 747 was a close call. Guys hooking up the tow bar almost got ran over. (Guys I probably know). Years back, I worked that gate many times.

1:07...now THAT's a pushback...
In second pushback tried pushback a380 and b747
The best from the International Brotherhood of Strong Backs and Weak Minds.
If i'm ever asked to manually pushback an aircraft that normally cant be done by hand, you best believe I'm declining that deathtrap.
0:30 it’s a training without fuel load and against all safety rules. Not to mention muscle damage but the hazard of arms or feet caught in the wheels
at 0:08 that tug pulled the nose wheel out from under the plane. THAT'S GOING TO COST THAT WORKER
*THE PEOPLE AT **0:57** THEY REALLY STRONG LIKE HOW DUDE*
did it get fixed?
Which salary is higher Ramp agent or Fuel agent?
I don’t understand this is just a standard operating day at any airport
At 1:35, a person in a white hoodie clearly threw something into that engine and then walked off. There was no "cone" visible near that engine prior to that. If he used a cone, it appears to be deliberate.
Is”collision” some different to “collision”
he threw the cone in there! wtf?!
Probably just got a lil too close and got succed in
But he would have been sucked in too so I don't understand.
@@Sweedster no. Look at his arm. He threw it into the engine.
And he was standing way too close to a.running engine as it was.
Absolute moron whos gonna get himself killed.
It looked like he was trying to throw it to the dude on the other side
Now all Ryanair needs is a manual super hard landing
Why were they manually pushing back?
Manual pushback.
When you don't have the correct towbar!
oopsie with the tug there pulling the entire front wheel assembly out the plane.
and it only takes 8 people to push a plane like that? wow
and the ramp worker at 1:38 just fired himself
as for the clip with the 747... someone forgot to set the parking brake
WTF @ 1.37 ! Did that person deliberately chuck that foreign body into the port engine or is it just me ? Why n where did this occur?
Manual push back...that’s a norm in Cardiff airport 😂🤣
Rip cone 2020-2020
How can a cone or whatever it was, be sucked into an engine when engines are not run at the gate? Engine start up is after or during pushback.
The plane had just taxi'd in from landing. The engines aren't at full power but still enough to suck something in.
Was this part of a trial for world "strong man" competition???
Carol Morris : They didn’t have the right equipment for that type of airplane. So instead of waiting for it, they fixed it.
@@runarandersen878 Yeah, forget that. Ruin your back forever.
Instead of tug moving 747,747 began to tug the tug.
They are really strong
First one lucky it happened there and not when it touched down at the other end!
how was that second on an incident?
At 1:35 the ground crew placed an item infront of the engine intake, which was then sucked in. Seems like a deliberate action of sabotage.
What on Earth
When I see the word "pushback" I don;t think of aviation...(wink)
Cone = plastic = hydrocarbon = fuel
That engine became a solid rocket booster for a split second.
