It is often necessary to move an aircraft without starting the engines: for example, to position it for servicing or to enable passengers or cargo to be loaded. If this operation is not carried out properly, severe damage can be caused to the aircraft.
If it is necessary for untrained or inexperienced persons to help move the aircraft, the person taking charge should instruct them thoroughly before starting so that they fully appreciate what they are required to do.
Detailed information relating to the movement of a particular aircraft will be found in the Manufacturers Maintenance Manual for the aircraft concerned.
