A Complex Choreography: The Anatomy Of The Pushback

The pushback is an ironic part of flying: An aircraft capable of flying many hundreds of miles per hour needs help to move backward at an almost immeasurably slow speed. But nearly every flight starts in this same way: The captain releases the parking brake, and the aircraft is pushed back from its parking stand. Except in rare instances when a plane can quote-unquote "power out" from its parking location, a tug is needed to move the plane away from the terminal. A choreography of triggers and responses is used during every pushback. In today’s video, we take a step-by-step account of how an airline pushback is achieved.
