This aircraft towing survey checklist supports supplier oversight of ground handling operations. Use it to observe live towing activities without disrupting the team, confirm the number of personnel is adequate, verify adherence to documented procedures, and assess safeguards that prevent aircraft damage. Check stand clearance, nearby traffic and equipment, team roles and responsibilities, communications effectiveness, and incident response. Record airport, stand, supplier, dates, and any additional observations to drive corrective actions.

Towing Unit Training
Use this aviation towing unit training checklist to guide operators through safe aircraft towing procedures. It covers pre trip inspections, checking for leaks and wear, battery levels, and testing steering, horn, brakes, lights, bucket, and winch. Trainees verify winch and strap condition, secure the aircraft to the tug, and connect towing components correctly. The checklist reinforces 360 degree aircraft checks, correct road position, wing watcher use, observing turn limits, and proper parking and release. Steps include retightening the winch after raising the bucket, loosening straps before lowering, chocking before strap removal, and stowing all attachments, with space for trainer comments.

Pushback and Towing Compliance Checklist
Use this aviation ramp compliance checklist to audit aircraft pushback and towing operations. It guides ground teams through pre-departure servicing checks, placement of fire protection devices, establishing interphone communication with flight crew, clearing FOD and confirming stand surface conditions, and ensuring ground support equipment is outside the equipment restraint area and jet bridge is retracted. It covers air start unit setup, wing walker presence, engine intake and blast area clearance, and bypass pin or steering disconnect requirements. The checklist verifies personnel remain clear of danger zones, a qualified brake operator is in the cockpit for towing, and the correct sequence for removing wheel chocks. It includes checks for tractor and shear pin suitability, power push securement, and closing actions like indicating completion to the flight deck, adding comments, signatures, and forwarding the report to station management and the responsible operator.
