Work involves the application of operational procedures and safety regulations to the operation of aircraft push-out tugs at relevant commercial airports across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate an aircraft push-out tug at a commercial airport. This includes conducting pre- and post-operational checks, positioning the tug and coupling it to the aircraft, and safely operating the tug to assist the manoeuvring of the aircraft. Types of aircraft push-out tug and related terminology may vary from airport to airport. Generic performance criteria provided in this unit may therefore need to be adapted, as required, to accommodate the operating procedures recommended by the manufacturers of the aircraft push-out tug concerned. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
