Boeing 777-300ER Pushback with Descriptions [HD]

This video includes descriptions of the certain parts of a pushback. Hope it answers and informs you of some interesting information
A few things to note:
1. Yes I have ear protection. I'm wearing ear plugs since it was summer and over the ear protection gets really hot really quick.
2. The front right tire does look to be flat. This plane was leaving extremely heavy so there was a lot of weight on the wheels. We would not let a plane leave that might endanger the lives of the passengers on board.
3. YES you are suppose to disconnect the towbar from the tug before disconnecting from the airplane first. What I did was not correct.
Registration is JA735A
Pushback of All Nippon Airways (ANA) NH flight 1 from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) heading back to Narita International Airport (NRT).
Pushback with the aircraft, Boeing 777-300ER, facing to the East.

[@RobertoRMOLA]

Yes, that's for all my ground friends from all over the world. How many pushes I got from you. How helpful you have been reporting what only you and your vast experience could notice. How many hints you gave me. As I said goodbye to the window, I always saluted you in the military style, because I always felt that you were absolutely honorable and worthy. You keep "pushing" me with happiness, even under the rain, snow, wind or sun heat. I can only say ... thank you!

[@alexj904]

Beautiful words u made me cry

[@kielbasa.sausage]

Thank you sir, youre welcome

[@so_many_women_so_little_ti2833]

If I were you I will speed up the engine for he feel the turbine sucking him just a little. Just kidding hahahaha

[@seanmeehan6717]

Thank you so much, even just a little credit means a lot to us, may you always safely soar through the sky ❤️

[@boshcash2010]

Captain Mola, we hope we can assist you and ANA at Sydney airport one day soon. We love to impress and working with professionals who appreciate our work is our constant goal. Happy landings!

[@steveaytch7738]

Great vid Rubin! As a 30 plus year pilot flying Boeings across the pond, I have immense respect for the under appreciated professionalism of ground crews around the world. Thank you!!!

[@aphil066]

This guy wasn't kidding. Hit the nail on the head. Perfectly executed push. Lots of steering input made that happen; and you can hear every turn :-)

[@miltonwheeler8589]

To all the grown crew around the world , from a frequent flyer i thank you all for your hard long dedication in all kind of unbelievable weather . Keep doing what you do best .

[@RubinTian]

If I recall correctly, this flight was fully loaded with cargo, baggage, and passengers. So it was extremely heavy haha. Thanks for watching!

[@frankgrimesification]

Don't forget about the fuel. A flight like this easily had over 100,000 pounds of fuel onboard in addition to all the other weight.

[@ryanmcvey2295]

How far of a walk is it from the gate area to where you push the plane to on the taxi way

[@edm2820]

I hope to say more slowly speak captain. QR, 7L, AI, PO

[@RubinTian]

During the whole pushback process, the pushback driver is in control of the aircraft. The steering bypass pin allows the driver to turn the wheels without interference.

[@LeonardoVibes]

In Japan after getting a plane ready and pushed back, the ground staff stand together on the tarmac and bid farewell. Sometimes waving or even taking a bow!

[@user-wl6bw3jl4n]

Each time I've departed from Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda, or Kansai Osaka, I've seen them bow. Out of Chubu Nagoya or Fukuoka, I've seen them wave. Also, the scurity guards that stand around the aircraft. they too bow and wave.

[@LacoteCohen]

In America they give the finger....lol

[@ErmakDimon]

Leonardo Standart in most places is raising a hand with the nosewheel pin to be visible from the cockpit. Most of the time they wave too

[@maryluwelch1968]

[@bruce_adams]

Great video! It's a process (and view) that I haven't seen anywhere else. Thanks for posting it!

[@irisclemons8588]

He forgot to pump the wheels on the ground first, btw the steps are as follows 1. Place chock in front of plane tire 2. Pump wheels on towbar onto ground 3. Disconnect towbar from pushback 4. Tell pushback driver to reverse a bit 5. Disconnect towbar from plane 6. Reconnect towbar to pushback 7. Grab chock from plane tire. 8. Grab and disconnect hydraulic lock pin 9. Grab wired communications line from plane. 10. Close communications port door 11. Place the chock onto pushback 12. Give wired communications wire to pushback driver 13. Show Hydraulic lock pin to the pilot of the aircraft. 14. After a thumbs up signal from pilot, return to the ramp and move away from the plane. 15. Place hydraulic lock pin back between the main landing gear chocks. That's it, remember, do not use my steps as an actual guide, if you questions regarding your job as a ramp agent, talk to your manager or ramp supervisor, thank you and have a nice day from Swissport

[@sudheer7373]

This is the actual process but people hardly follow it to save time

[@MADTASS]

Exactly how we do it at our Location.

[@SafwanHamedKTS]

Though you are from swissport have your guys herefollowed many of the things you mentioned ??

[@drpepper0911]

Perfect steps. Do you find it strange that the push back driver on a widebody also operated the headset?

[@thebanksfilms4426]

He did pump the wheels...just not high enough

[@you1ubeify]

How can you possibly dislike this?! Thanks for the great insight! :)

[@hankschrader149]

What a great view and perspective of a push back! Thanks for posting!! I used to be an assembly mechanic for Boeing on their 777 line my favorite aircraft of all time!

[@jamesmackenzie7885]

Very cool to see it from this perspective! It explains a few questions that I've always had about this process. Thanks!

[@gingerwood1969]

I would love to have that job! Great video! Always take pride in everything you do! No matter how small or big!

[@SamFarley098]

I have a buddy who works at mc Donald's getting paid just a dollar less than me with less hard work. but McDonalds cant take me to Tokyo, Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, New Zealand. yea nope. p.s I work for under an Airline company not like these guys just working for the ramp at the airport.

[@malemutekid1973]

Love every minute of it, especially when you're messing with your driver. Thanks for posting.

[@Aviatorspot]

GReat inforrmative video! Now i know what they talk about.

[@xzcvzxvxcvz]

Pushed back once and never wanted to do it again! Too terrifying. Even the pilot was laughing at my beginner "skills" saying he didn't know where I was taking him and how long it would take me to get him there(I think I could've had two turtles wingwalking backwards at the speed I was going) My sup/trainer asked, "Aren't you going to speed up?"...I said "Hell naw!" If they ever make pushing back a requirement, I guess I'll no longer be flying for free lol

[@seanalire-moynihan9142]

T Marginau just takes practice. At UAL we do 3 days of training. My first two days I pushed so crooked. By the 3rd day I was a pro. Now I push without thinking. It is my favorite part of being a rampy.

[@SiD_996]

If it makes u feel better ive been training to push for like 4 months.....done over 100 and still suck lmao struggling getting the fucking things straight im like hell yea nose wheel on the line...then i look up and the main gear is on line too haha think ill stick to head setting and chucking bags !!

[@RaiKonCA]

If it makes you feel better, my forst pushback was with a cr200, then 700, then 900 in a span of 30 mins. Luckily that all went smooth. The most terrifying pushback was a total pain in the ass. That was a 767. But after that, i pushed whenever they needed me to.

[@nace888]

I LOVE pushback, to me it's so much fun. The ones that freak me out are when a shearpin snaps.

[@TheShorty0ne]

damn dude...ill be doing it soon and im scared as fuck lol, doesn't seems as easy as everyone says

[@dstuartbrig]

Thank you! I enjoyed watching and listening to this. Love the sound of those jet engines rotating.

[@pipeorganfan26]

WOW! Thanks So much showing this video. One doesn't realize alot of behind the scenes that go on underneath the plane while your a passenger. Looking forward to watching more.

[@RubinTian]

We communicate with the pilots with having the nose pointed to the East or West. If we do right or left, it will get confusing fast!

[@Gunsandjewels]

Why?

[@joshua9166]

@@Gunsandjewels maybe because East and West are always the same. If you say left or right, who's left or right? I don't know if this is correct, there can be more to it.

[@Muddicker]

Great vid thanks

[@m1ke1981]

I've seen so many cockpit and wing views videos and so on but never from a pushback. You ground guys are all as important as the pilots who fly these big birds. Cool video!

[@annbell6453]

I will watch as many of these pushback videos as you want to put out, Rubin Tian. They're so fascinating to watch.😃

[@RubinTian]

Congrats on being my 4444 viewer!!! Lol. That boy, me, is wearing ear plugs, which go inside the ear so you can't really see. Trust me, I would never be by the nosewheels without ear protection. That's just asking for it.

[@colinmark4380]

you should have showed the mechanic waving the bypass pin to the pilots. maybe in another video? :) thanks for this one.

Nice pushback and start of both engines It makes a lovely sounds

[@rayseva1278]

And here I was...thinking that my buddy's Ram-3500 Diesel Dually had amazing low-end torque...

[@stillbashingmetal]

How do you train to do this? Do you practice on an 'old' runway somewhere, or do you learn with much smaller aircraft and an instructor sitting next to you? I know absolutely nothing about pushing back....but that looked spot on to me. Thanks.

[@MrGrantgibbs]

Also the bigger the plane the easier it is to push as you can see under the plane,when pushing your looking mostly at the rear wheels and i look where the tail is going also.

[@united966]

The first time I pushed a plane was a live flight just 3 months into working for American after probation. After about 10 pushes you are able to push alone. Though were I'm stationed we mostly just get narrow body's unless it's a charter or diversion

[@nasanierulastname2997]

I imagine ANA1 to be heavy as all hell, considering it's the only direct link between the Mid-Atlantic and Japan, and Asia to an extent. Great video!

[@ferdiemanuelenriquez9637]

hey boy!! you must disconnect the towbar from the airtug first before the nose gear!

[@davidspear9790]

Where was the safety chock? It should be the first thing you do when 'pushback complete' and the last thing you remove after being given the all clear to disconnect the headset to prevent any forward motion of the aircraft while the ground crew is still at the nose of the aircraft.

[@3GM65D]

They didn't need the safety chock because pilot had parking brakes.

+TheRealIdoNotKnoWhy Only thing bad about it is being outside in bad lightning storms...very dangerous, and scary !

[@NarasimhaDiyasena]

Yeah you have to be certified to drive the pushback, the safety officer tests you. And yes, it is very dangerous. One of the guys I worked with got struck by lighting while performing South Korea push back at Dulles. Headset was hooked up, he was lucky to have survive.

[@MauriFD92]

Extremely dangerous disconnect. You are suppose to disconnect from the tractor first ! Thats how guys get hurt !!! 35 Years exp!

[@redblackscorpio17]

Thanks for the filming of this video. It was very informative. NEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CHITOWNGANGSTA1981]

Dude you did wrong ! Set breaks, unhook tow bar from the push back, then reverse the tractor back, then unhook the tow bar, then hook tow bar to the tractor, then remove headsets, then pull the nose wheel pin, show the pin the captain and wave off. The way he did could have killed him or crushed his hand ! Because there is a lot of pressure on that bar that could bounce up & hit the plane or could have killed the driver or the other agent. I work United ramp ORD ! These dudes are idiots here!!!!

[@michaelkelly2912]

a lot of mistakes made there dont know where to start . was to close to the max towing angle not a smooth start or stop shouldnt take from the aircraft should disconnect from the pushback from the aircraft first is an old style not good for health and safety . also even when i used to do it the tow bar should disconnect easily with no effort from the guy taking it off also didn't see anyone show breaks on or off ok that could have been out of shot and finally where is the guys ear protection ? ear plugs not good enough for airport . ok rant over 😂

[@jviation737]

+michael kelly It was done fine though, as nobody was injured, the aircraft had no damage, and everyone was fine..... Sure it wasn't 100% procedure, but in reality, nobody does 100% as the book says

Lmao earplugs not enough...? Calm down, you aren't working with afterburners here. I work around jets daily and that's all we ever use.

[@michaelkelly2912]

4lifeifly if thats all ye ever use then you are slowly damaging your hearing look on the box you get your ear plugs from and it will give you a decible rating somwhere on the packet . Then get a decible meter and go stand by loudest part of your work and see are they enough .? I hope they are . But having worked in airports around the world for 16 years i know earpluggs are not enough in airports .
