Yes, that's for all my ground friends from all over the world. How many pushes I got from you. How helpful you have been reporting what only you and your vast experience could notice. How many hints you gave me. As I said goodbye to the window, I always saluted you in the military style, because I always felt that you were absolutely honorable and worthy. You keep "pushing" me with happiness, even under the rain, snow, wind or sun heat. I can only say ... thank you!
Captain Mola, we hope we can assist you and ANA at Sydney airport one day soon. We love to impress and working with professionals who appreciate our work is our constant goal. Happy landings!
Great vid Rubin! As a 30 plus year pilot flying Boeings across the pond, I have immense respect for the under appreciated professionalism of ground crews around the world. Thank you!!!
To all the grown crew around the world , from a frequent flyer i thank you all for your hard long dedication in all kind of unbelievable weather . Keep doing what you do best .
During the whole pushback process, the pushback driver is in control of the aircraft. The steering bypass pin allows the driver to turn the wheels without interference.
In Japan after getting a plane ready and pushed back, the ground staff stand together on the tarmac and bid farewell. Sometimes waving or even taking a bow!
Each time I've departed from Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda, or Kansai Osaka, I've seen them bow. Out of Chubu Nagoya or Fukuoka, I've seen them wave. Also, the scurity guards that stand around the aircraft. they too bow and wave.
He forgot to pump the wheels on the ground first, btw the steps are as follows 1. Place chock in front of plane tire 2. Pump wheels on towbar onto ground 3. Disconnect towbar from pushback 4. Tell pushback driver to reverse a bit 5. Disconnect towbar from plane 6. Reconnect towbar to pushback 7. Grab chock from plane tire. 8. Grab and disconnect hydraulic lock pin 9. Grab wired communications line from plane. 10. Close communications port door 11. Place the chock onto pushback 12. Give wired communications wire to pushback driver 13. Show Hydraulic lock pin to the pilot of the aircraft. 14. After a thumbs up signal from pilot, return to the ramp and move away from the plane. 15. Place hydraulic lock pin back between the main landing gear chocks. That's it, remember, do not use my steps as an actual guide, if you questions regarding your job as a ramp agent, talk to your manager or ramp supervisor, thank you and have a nice day from Swissport
@@Gunsandjewels maybe because East and West are always the same. If you say left or right, who's left or right? I don't know if this is correct, there can be more to it.
I have a buddy who works at mc Donald's getting paid just a dollar less than me with less hard work. but McDonalds cant take me to Tokyo, Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, New Zealand. yea nope. p.s I work for under an Airline company not like these guys just working for the ramp at the airport.
Congrats on being my 4444 viewer!!! Lol. That boy, me, is wearing ear plugs, which go inside the ear so you can't really see. Trust me, I would never be by the nosewheels without ear protection. That's just asking for it.
I miss the good old days .... I was a line maintenance technician and we were the ones doing all the ground proceedings, arrival, preflight and departure maneuvers. Nowadays is ramp guys who do it, having a mechanic doing all this gave pilots a sense of more security as we knew the aircraft like the back of our hands.
I miss doing this very much. I had so much fun out there on the ramp. I got quite the reputation as "the pushback Queen of the Northeast" from all the great pilots admiring the smooth rides
Pushed back once and never wanted to do it again! Too terrifying. Even the pilot was laughing at my beginner "skills" saying he didn't know where I was taking him and how long it would take me to get him there(I think I could've had two turtles wingwalking backwards at the speed I was going) My sup/trainer asked, "Aren't you going to speed up?"...I said "Hell naw!" If they ever make pushing back a requirement, I guess I'll no longer be flying for free lol
T Marginau just takes practice. At UAL we do 3 days of training. My first two days I pushed so crooked. By the 3rd day I was a pro. Now I push without thinking. It is my favorite part of being a rampy.
If it makes u feel better ive been training to push for like 4 months.....done over 100 and still suck lmao struggling getting the fucking things straight im like hell yea nose wheel on the line...then i look up and the main gear is on line too haha think ill stick to head setting and chucking bags !!
If it makes you feel better, my forst pushback was with a cr200, then 700, then 900 in a span of 30 mins. Luckily that all went smooth. The most terrifying pushback was a total pain in the ass. That was a 767. But after that, i pushed whenever they needed me to.
The Problem Exist if the Brakes haven"t been Applied Properly, or if at all and the Aircraft Rolls Forward into the Tow-Bar on Engine Start-Up with your Delicate Little Hand (one of only two) Fumbling around being used as a Buffer. Aviation is all about Eliminating Risk before they Rare their Dangerous Head.
How do you train to do this? Do you practice on an 'old' runway somewhere, or do you learn with much smaller aircraft and an instructor sitting next to you? I know absolutely nothing about pushing back....but that looked spot on to me. Thanks.
Also the bigger the plane the easier it is to push as you can see under the plane,when pushing your looking mostly at the rear wheels and i look where the tail is going also.
The first time I pushed a plane was a live flight just 3 months into working for American after probation. After about 10 pushes you are able to push alone. Though were I'm stationed we mostly just get narrow body's unless it's a charter or diversion
interesting way to do the pushback, we don't use horns. when it flashes up we remove chocks after the plane has rolled back and after the push take the bar off the tug, then remove from plane and spin around and put the pushback bar on the back of the tug. guess ever company has a different way of doing things. good video!
I've seen so many cockpit and wing views videos and so on but never from a pushback. You ground guys are all as important as the pilots who fly these big birds. Cool video!
This is what I do for a living as an ramper at ORD but I push out smaller airplanes ERJ-145, CRJ-700, and CRJ-200. We use the Lektro tug and cart to push out the small planes and we use straps instead of towbars. Also, my teammates use the wireless headsets to communicate with each other during the pushout and wingwalking. However most of the wireless headsets in my zone are broken down because of the winter. Electronics easily break down during the cold winter.
The big thing about pushbacks is to not allow the tow tug to shift. All towbars of this kind have a shear pin designed to shear, for example, if the steering bypass pins falls, then the steering would activate in a turn, so the towbar shears preventing damage. If the tug is allowed to shift, the towbar could shear (it's happened a lot!) and the tow bar just goes up the gear into the wheel well. Powerful diesel engines, but it would have a hard time pushing back if both engines are running.
Procedures differ per airport. Here in AMS I as engineer am on the headset, I also disconnect the towbar and remove the steering bypass pin. I usually confirm the pin removed to the crew and afterwards show it. Sometimes it’s hard to recognise the signals from the crew. The 777 also has an indicator light on the nosegear for the parking brake
Man.. I remembered those days when my co workers and I used to battle and how many times per day we can put the nose gear to the line. I know how it feels when you push the plane to the center taxiway line! Great Push bro!
Plenty of airlines have authorized pushback procedures that allows for the towbar to be disconnected from the aircraft without first disconnecting from the tug. As long as the tension is released, there isn't a problem.
Where was the safety chock? It should be the first thing you do when 'pushback complete' and the last thing you remove after being given the all clear to disconnect the headset to prevent any forward motion of the aircraft while the ground crew is still at the nose of the aircraft.
Oh man anybody that is assigned to push this plane out, has to have adrenaline of excitement because 1 it is the largest Boeing aircraft next to the 747, 2 because of how massively big it is when your on the ground standing right next to it along with having to understand how much it takes to turn along with making it that perfect, and 3 because of the SOUNDS! Like that is pure music to my ears.
Yeah you have to be certified to drive the pushback, the safety officer tests you. And yes, it is very dangerous. One of the guys I worked with got struck by lighting while performing South Korea push back at Dulles. Headset was hooked up, he was lucky to have survive.
I know this is a late comment, but yea its a fun ass job, never gets boring and you experience and see something new. better than being in a cubicle office at least for me
Dude you did wrong ! Set breaks, unhook tow bar from the push back, then reverse the tractor back, then unhook the tow bar, then hook tow bar to the tractor, then remove headsets, then pull the nose wheel pin, show the pin the captain and wave off. The way he did could have killed him or crushed his hand ! Because there is a lot of pressure on that bar that could bounce up & hit the plane or could have killed the driver or the other agent. I work United ramp ORD ! These dudes are idiots here!!!!
Yep, Totally Agree, that"s how we were taught, we also Chock the Front Wheel Prior to Disconnect from Tug, and to Save you going Tone Deaf in the Future, Ear-Defenders would be a Good bit of Kit to wear.
I have been getting a lot of comments about this and let me just say this: the tire might look flat, but this flight goes out fully loaded with cargo so it's quite heavy. ANA also has a specialized trained mechanic at the station who checks every aspect of the aircraft. If there was a flat, he would not have signed off on it since the passenger's safety is top priority.
a lot of mistakes made there dont know where to start . was to close to the max towing angle not a smooth start or stop shouldnt take from the aircraft should disconnect from the pushback from the aircraft first is an old style not good for health and safety . also even when i used to do it the tow bar should disconnect easily with no effort from the guy taking it off also didn't see anyone show breaks on or off ok that could have been out of shot and finally where is the guys ear protection ? ear plugs not good enough for airport . ok rant over 😂
+michael kelly It was done fine though, as nobody was injured, the aircraft had no damage, and everyone was fine..... Sure it wasn't 100% procedure, but in reality, nobody does 100% as the book says
4lifeifly if thats all ye ever use then you are slowly damaging your hearing look on the box you get your ear plugs from and it will give you a decible rating somwhere on the packet . Then get a decible meter and go stand by loudest part of your work and see are they enough .? I hope they are . But having worked in airports around the world for 16 years i know earpluggs are not enough in airports .
That view at the end with the two engines turning, you in the middle, its awesome. Great video. I am a trainee rampy at the moment, going for my ADA (Authority to Drive Airside) licence next week. Wish me luck!
And that those few tires can bear so much weight, both with the acceleration pressure at takeoff at full weight, and the pressure at touchdown and speed retardation. Amazing!
Actually as a walkout assistant (headsetman) or in this case tug driver you are supposed to clear the active taxiway and turn around at the "red line" (in TXL red lines denote borders of movement / no-movement zones i.e. ramp area) and show the steering bypass pin and a "thumb up". Some airlines like Continental actually request the military type salute as a "o.k. to taxi" sign... And usually you are supposed to wait until a/c rolls on its own... But the busy flight schedules that most ...
38 years in airline OPS.......we were in charge of the plane at the gate. Sometimes ramp would have to move the plane with no pilots, we would takover in the cockpit as well. All airliners today have a 500hp+ jet engine onboard that runs all the electrical and hydraulics mainly on the ground. It was known as "riding the brakes" if the towbar broke (which it could) we would need to apply brakes to stop it from a runaway. We coordinated with the tower on movement over the radios. Had to make sure we had 3,000 pounds of pressure in the accumulator or no brakes. It was the most fun possible for any airline wannabe.......who didn't make it into flight.
Great picture now i understand at an airport what those yellow pieces of equipment are lying around. It for the towing the plane. Set the parking brake or chock the wheels excellent video its a lot of communication i see from pilot , control tower , and towers
WOW! Thanks So much showing this video. One doesn't realize alot of behind the scenes that go on underneath the plane while your a passenger. Looking forward to watching more.
Good job! I have done that for 5 years too, with towbarless tractor also. The bigger plane, easier it goes-you can see better under tall plane where you are going.
Pushback driver, the steering bypass pin is used to depressurize the steering hydraulics so that the nosewheel can be manipulated freely by the pushtug/towbar.
What a great view and perspective of a push back! Thanks for posting!! I used to be an assembly mechanic for Boeing on their 777 line my favorite aircraft of all time!
Couldn't have agreed with you more. I was the youngest guy there still in college and all the senior guys kept giving me advice telling me to get out of there and find a "real" job with better pay
Very nice and smooth puchbacking, but I think you should have applied a shock on the front gear before disconnecting the tow bar for your own safety reasons .. that’s what we do in here
Score the mark! Excellent job! I've only pushed RJs and narrow bodies. I'd love to get a chance at a wide body, but I'm not longer able to work due to severe back issues.

Great vid Rubin! As a 30 plus year pilot flying Boeings across the pond, I have immense respect for the under appreciated professionalism of ground crews around the world. Thank you!!!
If I recall correctly, this flight was fully loaded with cargo, baggage, and passengers. So it was extremely heavy haha. Thanks for watching!
Don't forget about the fuel. A flight like this easily had over 100,000 pounds of fuel onboard in addition to all the other weight.
How far of a walk is it from the gate area to where you push the plane to on the taxi way
I hope to say more slowly speak captain. QR, 7L, AI, PO
This guy wasn't kidding. Hit the nail on the head. Perfectly executed push. Lots of steering input made that happen; and you can hear every turn :-)
To all the grown crew around the world , from a frequent flyer i thank you all for your hard long dedication in all kind of unbelievable weather . Keep doing what you do best .

I love the sound of the hydraulics as the steering wheel is turning, Brings back many fond memories of being a GSE mechanic
One cannot get enough of the engine starts on a 777! Thanks for watching
THE GE90-115B sounds so nice when start up and spool up!
I'm watching this a week before going for my ramp agent interview. Hope I can get the job. Seems thrilling.

This is the actual process but people hardly follow it to save time
Exactly how we do it at our Location.
Though you are from swissport have your guys herefollowed many of the things you mentioned ??
Perfect steps. Do you find it strange that the push back driver on a widebody also operated the headset?
He did pump the wheels...just not high enough
As an ex ground crew instructor (now part of the engineering team) i'll give you 8/10 for that...
We communicate with the pilots with having the nose pointed to the East or West. If we do right or left, it will get confusing fast!
Why?
@@Gunsandjewels maybe because East and West are always the same. If you say left or right, who's left or right? I don't know if this is correct, there can be more to it.

The right front tyre looks bit flat! Need to pump air man.. The captain is a OK?
I imagine ANA1 to be heavy as all hell, considering it's the only direct link between the Mid-Atlantic and Japan, and Asia to an extent. Great video!
you should have showed the mechanic waving the bypass pin to the pilots. maybe in another video? :) thanks for this one.

Actually as a walkout assistant (headsetman) or in this case tug driver you are supposed to clear the active taxiway and turn around at the "red line" (in TXL red lines denote borders of movement / no-movement zones i.e. ramp area) and show the steering bypass pin and a "thumb up". Some airlines like Continental actually request the military type salute as a "o.k. to taxi" sign...
And usually you are supposed to wait until a/c rolls on its own... But the busy flight schedules that most ...
Thank you for sharing! This video is great for 3 reasons. 1-great editing job 2- Great picture quality. 3 funny CC
Thank you! I enjoyed watching and listening to this. Love the sound of those jet engines rotating.
I just got hired on as a Ramp Agent for Southwest Airlines. Pushback looks easy from this video :)
38 years in airline OPS.......we were in charge of the plane at the gate. Sometimes ramp would have to move the plane with no pilots, we would takover in the cockpit as well. All airliners today have a 500hp+ jet engine onboard that runs all the electrical and hydraulics mainly on the ground. It was known as "riding the brakes" if the towbar broke (which it could) we would need to apply brakes to stop it from a runaway. We coordinated with the tower on movement over the radios. Had to make sure we had 3,000 pounds of pressure in the accumulator or no brakes. It was the most fun possible for any airline wannabe.......who didn't make it into flight.
Great video. Just landed a spot in ground services with Air Canada. Can't wait to qualify for towing.
If recall correctly. this flight was
fully loaded with cargo,
baggage, and passengers. So it
was extremely heavy haha.
Thanks for watching!
great video. another cool view from under the nose of the magnificent T7, especially the famous GE90 engine "moooo-ing".
Nice pushback and start of both engines
It makes a lovely sounds
Very good pushback, right on the taxi line, on speed, and very safe.. Keep up the good work!
Great picture now i understand at an airport what those yellow pieces of equipment are lying around. It for the towing the plane. Set the parking brake or chock the wheels excellent video its a lot of communication i see from pilot , control tower , and towers
Awesome video, what a sight standing under that nose wheel!
WOW! Thanks So much showing this video. One doesn't realize alot of behind the scenes that go on underneath the plane while your a passenger. Looking forward to watching more.
Good job! I have done that for 5 years too, with towbarless tractor also. The bigger plane, easier it goes-you can see better under tall plane where you are going.
Pushback 727’s, super 80’s in the 80s to mid 90s . The sphincter definitely tightens. I love them days. It was an amazing job.
Pushback driver, the steering bypass pin is used to depressurize the steering hydraulics so that the nosewheel can be manipulated freely by the pushtug/towbar.
Tat was great! I work at fedex, and love to see the process that all makes that action go down smoothly. Thanks for sharing.
What a great view and perspective of a push back! Thanks for posting!! I used to be an assembly mechanic for Boeing on their 777 line my favorite aircraft of all time!
Couldn't have agreed with you more. I was the youngest guy there still in college and all the senior guys kept giving me advice telling me to get out of there and find a "real" job with better pay
Thanks for sharing with us the steps of departure procedure. I always wanted to know how it was!
I'm ANA' ground handling(Toing and PushBack)STAFF.
For This video PushBack Driver
PERFECT PUSH！GoodJob👍👍
That's a perfect pushback indeed ! Well done and thanks.
I will watch as many of these pushback videos as you want to put out, Rubin Tian. They're so fascinating to watch.😃
Still able to give crap while underneath an airplane and having 2 big GE90 Engines start up with you between them, I respect that guy.
Very nice and smooth puchbacking, but I think you should have applied a shock on the front gear before disconnecting the tow bar for your own safety reasons .. that’s what we do in here
Score the mark! Excellent job! I've only pushed RJs and narrow bodies. I'd love to get a chance at a wide body, but I'm not longer able to work due to severe back issues.
Hi. Great video. Surprised they made you walk back at the end - we usually get a lift in the tug! Cheers.
My favorite plane 777-300 What a great video, a job well done. Congratulations. Add other push back
