Indeed, we are all familiar with pushback procedures in real life! But what specific features in AirportSim support this functionality? Read this article carefully and let's delve deeper into the topic, starting from the basics… The task involves expertly maneuvering the plane from its stopping point onto the taxiway.
The task is universal and applies to all types of vehicles
1. Parking the vehicle with a towbar at the designated location.
2. Conducting a walkaround by the player to ensure everything is properly secured.
3. AI Supervisor attaching the headsets and wingwalkers take their position near the wings
4. Player attaches the towbar to the main gear.
5. Waiting for pushback clearance and releasing brakes - activating Logo + Position lights.
6. Granting pushback clearance, releasing brakes - the aircraft activates the Beacon lights upon clearance.
7. Commencing pushback.
8. Communicating the possibility of engine start-up - pilot confirmation (starting engines 1 and 2 sequentially).
9. Stopping the aircraft
10. AI Supervisor disconnecting the pushback from the aircraft.
11. Departure of the pushback vehicle.
12. Once the player moves away, the aircraft activates the Taxi Lights and begins taxi to the runway.
After the pushback is finished, wait for the AI Supervisor to disconnect the Towbar and then reattach it to the pushback vehicle itself. Only then can the player move away from the taxiway. Next, the AI takes the ByPass Pin, disconnects the headsets, and closes the GPU flap. The player must then park the vehicle and the towbar in the designated spot.
Remember that during pushback, you need to cooperate with the Wing Walker and the Supervisor. They maintain communication with the aircraft crew and ensure safety on the apron during aircraft towing. Working at the airport is a team effort!
Reaching the Conclusion
As you may have observed, the pushback process and all the activities involved to execute it efficiently are quite complex. This text aims to simplify the process for you in the future. Our game offers various pushback vehicles, including Goldhofer Bison, AirportSim Custom Vehicles, and, in future updates - a vehicle without a towbar. We look forward to the game's release, allowing you to experience it firsthand Below, you will find more articles about mechanics in AirportSim.
