1. Correct posture: Choose a handle height that allows you to maintain an upright posture while operating the T1. Hunching over can impede your ability to control the tug effectively.
2. Proper set-up: When properly
configured, the T-bar should be level when it is connected to the plane, not angled.
3. Acceleration: Always approach obstacles with acceleration.
Starting the T1 from a stop before approaching an obstacle may make it difficult to maintain control or clear it.
4. Proper traction: Apply downward
pressure on the handle to increase traction when necessary. Avoid excessive force, but make sure there’s enough pressure to maintain control.
5. Moving your aircraft: Aim to
move your plane in a straight line.
If you must make a turn, gradually tilt the tug in the direction you are attempting to go so that one tire is slightly off the ground.
