Awesome push by our ramp crew! This was from gate A30 and the driver did an S turn! Which he first goes tail south and then turns it back tail north on the line instructed!
It was a really cool push to watch!
Much respect for the Ground Crew 🎉🎉! 🛬✈️👏💪🙏
I can't even IMAGINE how COMPLICATED and challenging your training was !
I used to push 172s around at a small airport flight school. Seeing the nose gear being turned almost 90 degrees makes my heart stop LOL. I love these videos. Thank you for the work you put in to put them on RUclips for us to enjoy
Thank you!! 😁
What an honor for you! To push back this beauty into the alleyway is so exciting! American has a gorgeous paint job these days and this plane is stunning. Safe journey to all AA crew from the ramp to the flight deck. Always in my prayers.
RUclips suggestions sometimes yield a good channel. Interesting stuff!!
Thank you 😁
Glad to have found this channel! Ramp videos are enjoyable that I've seen.
Welcome aboard!
Have to admit...never saw a pushback that long in my life!
I know! It was crazy!
Sky Harbor is a pit.
Tug pushing against a lot of weight
And pretty fast too.
Wow, wonderful video clip of tug pushback view with giant 787 Dreamliner ! Excellent views on the big pushback
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
New subscriber here. I worked on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner lastnight here in Winnipeg. Lovely bird. Greetings from fellow ramp agent or as we Air Canada employee say Station Attendant. Great video and push back as well.
Hello to my Canadian fellow ramper! Thanks for subscribing! I love the Dreamliner! Thank you for subscribing!
@@ladyandtheramp you're very welcome! 🙏🏿
Respect. RJ-145's are the only ones I've hooked up the Towbar to!
That is one AWESOME pushback! Love the 78-9 :)
Very cool. We who always travel and see this work from above, when seen from another angle, it's beautiful.
Thank you very much!
She's a beauty 787 🙌
nice..only negative is the "music" the ramp noise would be best
Haha! 👍
No the music is a nice touch with this video and our widebody pushback tractor. The whole time you turn the steering wheel it makes a screeching sound...so annoying for a video
Cool video. Interesting to see how windy that day was to spin those engine blades that fast. Extreme precision engine!
😁❤️
I attended the Airliner's International in 1995 and 2000. Awesome 😎!
Stunning pushback from A30 area. A lot different than what I would have done to get it tail north on Sierra.
Wasn’t that a crazy cool push? I have heard lots of other ways to do it. But it was sure fun to ride with him 😁
Wow, I’ve never seen videos from this angle covering the ground crew. Great editing! Subscribed !
Thanks for the subscription! 😁
Dude’s a natural 👍
great stuff...nice music...lovely plane..
Many thanks!!😁
A map showing where you started and ended would be great.
Nice video thank you
😁👍
It’s so cool how much you enjoy your work. Good luck with the channel from Massachusetts
Thanks so much! 👋😁
Miss my time on the ramp. Nice push😎
I am surprised at how much I enjoy it!! I hope you are enjoying whatever you are doing now! Thank you for the encouragement! 😁
You make it look so easy when you're pushing the airplane back if I did that. I'd be at the end of the airport. It may be Alex.
😂
That was what they did when I went to London! It's nice to see it from the ground!
Hi i'm a pushbacker to.nice to see lady pushbacker
👋
Im really enjoying this i love planes it would be a great job i bet 😊great video
Thanks for watching! 😊
Wow that’s amazing never seen this up so close before. Well done 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you 🤗
Love it, love it, love!
As long as the music is not overwhelming I quite like it. Just a matter of taste I suppose.
😁
Interesting. I wish I could've heard the conversation better.
I will be more aware the next time I record!
It looks like you got a lot of responsibility doing everything.
That was amazing ❤❤.
OMG best job ever!!! hello from New Zealand
Hello 👋
How have you built such a large following in such a short time with so few videos? Amazing!
No idea 🤷♀️! I do love my job…maybe others do too! I have fallen in love with all these big aircraft. 😁
@ladyandtheramp if I were younger (65 now) and had it all to do over again, I would have gotten my pilots license with my dad paying for my training. I chose not to go to college, and took a carpentry job out of high school. Oh well.
No Music please
Either you’re really small or those engines are huge or both? Great video 👍
Those engines are humongous! 😁
She doesn't mention the vertical red line that is on the nose gear covers that separate the 78-9 from the words Etops. If she moves the towbar past that red line she will probably snap a shear pin and that would end the pushback until a new towbar or pin arrives.
👍👍
Music was great. Who cares what other say. Great video.
Thank you 😊
I would loved to have heard that pushback instruction, did it include hold short of runway __ and for the flight crew to report when ready for departure after disconnection from the tug. No wonder the wing walkers could not go further, and you were moving it.
Wow!
787 드림라이너 너무나 타보고 싶은 비행기에요
It is a great plane! I hope you get to fly on it someday! 😁
Not real fond of the music. Would rather hear the ambient noise of the flight line like Ramper Ryan does.
They must be heading south on Sierra over the bridge but why would they make you push tail south then turn tail north? Seems like it would be easier to push tail east onto Charlie.
Yes! You are correct they needed him tail north (so nose pointed south) on Sierra to go over the bridge. I think they didn’t want the plane to go over the Charlie taxiway to the north too much. So they had to pull it out a ways from the gates to the East and give them enough room to put the tail north on Sierra.
Don’t second guess her. You don’t know all of what she did. Good grief!
@@RioJudy She doesn't get to decide where to put the plane. ATC, ground control, or ramp control, will give the pilot clearance to push and in what direction depending on which runway they want the plane to use. Her job is to put the plane where they want it. I am very familiar with the PHX airport (I also livestream planespotting here on my channel) so my point was simply that it seemed to me that they could push tail east from the end of that pier, but maybe they didn't want to block other traffic from moving. This appears to be gate A26 - I've never seen a 787 at that gate before!
@@RioJudyShe didn't do anything actually besides put this on her channel
Loved this, only the '360' graphic should have said '180'😊.
You are correct 👍
That was 5:21 of pure awesome
Thanks Jessica
Pretty fast too. Was it lined up to take off down the runway? I wonder if that would save any fuel. Probably be too dangerous.
It was lined up directly on the taxiway that leads to the runway :)
Good Night. I am in Brazil, Natal City, and see your Canal. very weel. Congratulation!!!
Oh, I finally saw the channel name. Cute!
😁
Nice pushback
Do you only push American Airlines planes or every plane?
Only American. 😁
not sure why they pushed the plane in the opposite direction then swug it around. Could have push the tail in that direction 1st and saved all that driving .
In this case, there is an active taxiway to the north and to the west. So the tower cleared the taxiway to the west for then to set the plane on. Typically we never disconnect on the taxiway…but this being a wide body, they had to. He had to pull it away from the gates so as to not hit the other aircraft and then not go any farther north because of that taxiway. It was actuality a really cool push to ride along on 😁
Funny you can see the speed tape around the radome.
great pushback, I work for Sun Country Cargo. Got to watch the red line on nose gear though
Where were you pushing the plane to and where did you pick it up from? Just kind of curious.
Pushed from gate A30 making a near 180 to the south and then making a full 180 degree turn back towards the north onto taxiway Sierra from a marker called India 2 and stopping there just short of the movement area line or holding point at the intersection of Sierra and Charie.
😁👍
Why did this pushback have to be like this? Seems when you first back out you were very near where you ended?
This end gate is bound be 2 active taxiways. One on the north side and west side. Then since the wingspan is so wide on the 787, the other challenge is the concourse with planes in the gates on the east side. So almost all traffic on 2 taxiways has to stop and in the alleyway by the concourse.
We had to push tail north at the beginning to get the aircraft out and away from the concourse. Then tail south to get out of the north taxiway. And give enough room as to not hit the planes at the gates. And then back tail north again to get on the north/south taxiway to set him up to go to the correct runway.
@@ladyandtheramp A magnificent job backing!
Прекрасная девушка, прекрасная работа, прекрасная музыка!
Не занудствуйте!
Привет из России!
Летаем S7 Airlines!
👋😁 that is awesome!
Do you also do cargo planes?
My company does not do cargo planes. Although we carry cargo and freight…all of our fleet are commercial passenger aircraft 😁
Nice music.
You guys use Towbar for every aircraft?
Very interesting video! Great skill! You might, however, consider not using music next time, it’s just a suggestion of course ❤
Thanks for the suggestion! On the other videos we omitted the music 😁
@@ladyandtheramp😊
what is the max speed of ur vehicule? TX again!! :D
Oh I actually do not know! It is super low geared..made for power. There is a 3rd gear…
I will have to double check to see about the speedometer! I have never noticed them 😁
I typically push by feel.
@@ladyandtheramp tx again Jessica! :) i really enjoy your video, and enjoy when u reply to peolple!! tx again for ur kindness!! much appreciate to see someone who loves her job that much too!!!! will have a special tough if i ever go back to any airport :)
Were you trying to push it to its destination?
😂😂
Skip the music. No need
Really distracting.
Mhm, that means no edit
The person that created this wanted music. This person needed music. you don’t need music. Mute it. Why ask other people to conform to what you want? Let everyone make their own decisions for themselves……. I might not have added the music personally, but I’m not the one creating this. I’m not the one taking the tie to do this to share with other people. Other people who should be grateful and appreciative, in my humble opinion. If you don’t believe in music, don’t add music. You don’t believe in anything, don’t force other people to have to think like you do.
I liked the music, it added to the video
Good atmospheric music..
So I start OJT training next week an I’m honestly kinda scared. I was told to never get close to a running engine but during pushback they start the engines and Ramp Agents have to disconnect the coms while the engines are running? Can you explain more please so I can make it to work on Monday and not quit. That’s honestly the only thing that makes me not want to work at the airport
How exciting! The ingestion zone is 15 feet in front of the engine. And usually they start the number 1 engine which is on opposite side of the wing Walker that disconnects the tue bar and communication line. Just keep your head in a swivel and follow protocol. Get in good habits :) . It is a great job!
Beep beeeep beeeeeeeeeep B 789 is cool aircraft 🤔 i like classic 767,777,757,757 ,737,747 🤭😎 happy works and. New day 🌹🌹🌹
😁👋
@@ladyandtheramp udo U pushback others international airline aircraft's from appron? I mean lot Polish airlines?🤔🍻👊
Only American Airlines aircraft
@@ladyandtheramp u have video from inside aircraft 🤔
curious what the orange cable from the pusher to the plane is?
Comms with the flight deck.
Bellevideohenri🎉😊😊
cool video. May I ask why there are no wing walkers?
There are restrictions on where the wing walkers can go. They are not allowed to go beyond the zippered line into the active taxiway. So they are following along at the zipper line.
Great question! 👍
Salut comment tu vas. Je suis tunisien ❤
👋
Why is the route to position so meandering?
There are several reasons.
- typically they don’t put wide bodies at that gate. So it has to go a lot farther out to start as to not hit the other aircraft in the gates.
- the tower also directed the push driver to put the aircraft onto the actual taxiway. Which is also not standard.
- and to put it tail north (typically we do tail south) so that when the aircraft is released it is positioned correctly on the taxiway to allow them to go forward in the proper direction
- during this push, all other traffic was paused. Which is kind of a big deal. They created a lot of space for the large aircraft so as to not even come close to having other traffic interfere and possibly causing any type of collision.
@@ladyandtherampthanks for the explanation on this one. Very interesting.
next time they will power back to drown out the music, lol. we like your channel but as you know being airside, there is no music permitted in vehicles so it doesn’t fit with the content.
What song was played?
That was stock audio within the editing software 😁
Where was this flight going?
I don’t recall on this exact flight ✈️
Do they do start #1 and Taxi 🚖 out on it?
Most pushback drivers have them start #1 closer to the end of the push due to not wanting that force to go against the push tug as they are still moving.

😁👍
What is the flagged pin that they pull from the nose gear after push back?
That is the bypass pin. It bypass the hydraulic system. It is inserted prior to pushing the aircraft, giving the control of the plane to the ground crew. When the push is completed and the brakes are set…the pin is pulled returning control to the flight deck. 😁
Thanks for the reply!
Why this change of course during the pushback ? Change of track by the tower ? 🤔
Coming out of this end gate…there are several challenges. There is an active taxiway just to the north and and active taxiway to the west. Then the gates with planes on them to the east. So the tower cleared traffic on both taxiways. So pushed the tail south to clear the north taxiway and the gates. Then pushed tail north and set him up right on the taxiway to the runway. It was like a giant S curve.
@@ladyandtheramp thanks ! It's all very complicated but I would have liked to do pushback instead of refueling 🙃😏
Great video! I would love to see a diagram of it.
Boeing. Lack of a better phrase theres Been some interesting news about that company as of late…….
I know :(
Our mechanics take great care of our fleet. I see first hand how if anything is wrong, it is always checked.
Even if it is a clip on a net that doesn’t work. I appreciate being able to see “behind the scenes” a bit and see the constant vigilance on safety :)
It ain’t easy
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤️❤️❤️
Mustn’t go past the red line 😂
What is their biggest jet
Our biggest plane in our fleet is the triple 7. The Boeing 777
@@ladyandtheramp really I made the assumption that 787 was newer/bigger lol
How do you guys see a push route?
The tower tells where they want the plane to be dropped or released at. It is up to the pushback driver to get the plane to that point. At PHX we have several different lines designating different parts of the gate, alleyway and taxiway. So usually the pushback driver uses those as their markers or guide lines.
I could do without the music.
Noted 😁
Awfully close to the unemployment line
Süperrrrr 《《《《《《《
Dude don't be so lazy, get out and wave the pin correctly
😘💙🥰
I don’t believe they still use old school towing equipment and guess work for such expensive machines as I didn't see any particular pavement markings on the tarmac that the towing vehicle operator was following while towing/pushing this baby. Wow. Good news for the aircraft insurance company. 🥴
Yeah that is what we use 👍
that's why they have training. After a while you get used to the different positions and how to maneuver the aircraft to them
Die Musik nervt total!!!
Boeing is in major turmoil of they’re own doing. Sad..sickening..
👍👍👍👍🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽🙏🙏🙏🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
buitiuful plane
I agree!! 😁
There is no such thing as a 787-900
It is called the Dreamliner. The 787-900 came into service in 2014. We have seen more of them at our station, typically on long, cross country flights of international flights to London Heathrow :)
