Specific towing instructions can be found in ?

• A. Manufacturer's Maintenance Instructions
• B. Aircraft's Flight Manual
• C. Pilot's Operating Handbook
• D. Maintenance Log

Answer: (A)

Towing instructions are documented with the aircraft’s maintenance documentation because ground handling and towing involve how the airframe and its systems are supported and moved safely while on the ground. The manufacturer’s maintenance instructions provide the exact tow points, equipment requirements (like tow bars and chocks), limits on towing forces and speeds, and steps to avoid damage to landing gear, doors, or hydraulic systems. The flight manual or pilot’s operating handbook covers procedures for flying and in-flight operations, not the specific ground handling details. The maintenance log is simply a record of service history, not instruction on how to tow the aircraft. So the most authoritative source for these specifics is the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
