Pushing Back An A340-600 in Munich | World's Longest Airbus Aircraft!

Watch from the push-back truck as the world's longest single floor aircraft from Airbus, the A340-600, departs for its 10+ hour flight from Munich to Vancouver as LH476. The aircraft registration was D-AIHW and it left from the all new Terminal 2 Satellite at MUC.

That plane is so beautiful. I think it's the best looking Airbus. Great content!

[@LuchoLogrippo]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this!! Such an awesome experience!! I love the A340

[@major421]

Thankyou very much. I also did enjoy it very much. Its almost imposible to gain that much close view of any aircraft.

[@cosmicviewer477]

Wow! This was captivating! You were granted some serious access! Nice!

[@MichaelTansley]

Fascinating video. A totally different perspective of aviation. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@plhearts]

Never seen that up close and detail! Thank you for all the hard work for such a beautiful video.

[@ColinPrenger]

The biggest plane I've had to pushback is a King Air C90...this is nuts! Great POV, thanks for sharing!

[@romano5497]

Colin Prenger Keep pushing back those tiny pieces of shit u stooge

[@carlosspicy-wiener6727]

Romano good Job you keyboard warrior

[@Narainseshadri1947]

Superb video Dan. I have always wanted to see how an aircraft is being pushed back for a very long time. I could watch it through your video at close quarters. Just imagine just a single hand does the whole operations Once again superb video May God bless you

[@pedrito77]

Tak for this! my favorite plane ever!

[@TosinSalisu]

Amazing footage! Well done

[@GustavoMaciel]

Wait a minute, did I see that right? The tow truck actually LIFTS the front of the plane? I had no idea!

[@MrLemey]

Yes, this is correct.

[@antoniohaskell2276]

I wonder if the passengers even noticed

[@arishmehta2531]

a few trucks lift a few use the rod... wonder of hydraulics. :)

[@BOdenwald1979]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@pauljenkins5335]

WOW, so awesome Dan. I love it. What a view from the Pushback Tractor. I love how the tractor grabs the nose wheel and raises it off the ground to move the plane. They don't need a tow bar anymore. Your videos are just awesome!!!!! :)

I regret that I may not get a chance to fly on this beauty as there are so few in service now.

[@paulogomes4186]

Very nice 😊

[@ebboy5]

Thanks for posting! I had no idea the truck picks up the front wheel and pushes the aircraft away from the gate. I thought that all aircraft were pushed back by a post that's attached to the aircraft's front wheel stem and all wheels are rotating backwards when being pushed. Cheers and greetings from SFO!

[@jorgschmidt4385]

Sehr schön diese Video gefunden zu haben, denn ich habe drinn gesessen. War im übrigen ein sehr angenehmer Flug.

[@turbofanlover]

Better than any amusement park ride. Very cool.

[@almantinaa]

Wow. I wish I could experience this.

[@emercycrite]

It's amazing how the pushback truck not only has the power to push back such a heavy aircraft, but also actually lift it up by the nose gear!

[@superskullmaster]

emercycrite a 6 year old can lift a car with a hydraulic jack. No different here.

[@tonyde52]

I STILL can't believe how that tug can push such a MASSIVE BEHEMOTH of an airplane like that !

[@carlosandreandre9069]

IS AMAZING VERYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD

[@TGoKovenant]

You pushed it out at such a sharp angle and put it right on the line. Well done. I usually try to go for a more smooth curve with such large planes so i don't get an over torque. This was awesome to watch. If I may ask, how heavy was the load on the lifter?

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

Heading to Munich in October! Taking a 767 Delta, got a window seat aswell. Taking an airbus A330 back

I am leaving from BOS in a little less than 2 weeks

[@HansJoachim]

Vielen Dank für dieses Video! 👍 Es ist einfach nicht zu fassen, daß so ein schweres Teil sich in die Lüfte erheben kann. Ich bin Flieger, ich kann alles gut erklären, aber so richtig glauben kann ich es nicht. 🙂 LG aus Berlin HaJo

[@nicobrummer5285]

nice👍🏻✈️

[@seanalire-moynihan9142]

Best part of being a rampy. I enjoy pushing back planes more than aything.

[@irish00011]

An excellent video, and first time recording this operation for you. I might want to suggest a different nomenclature for the description of the vehicle. In a manufacturing plant setting a service vehicle would be referred to as a mule, or a tractor. In the automotive roadside service industry, the vehicle would be referred to as Wrecker, or a Tow Truck. In the Maritime service assistant, the vehicle vessel would be referred to as a tug. In the airport service push back, or being used in a towing situation, the vehicle is known as a tug.

[@Christin5554]

this is the first time I watched a plane get moved with this truck (not from the plane), great video! Did I by chance see right, did this truck lift up the steering tires?

[@TheAviationGuyID]

yes

[@gowoniiiee]

Dat plane is heavy I thought it broke the vehicle and the tires popped lol

[@DrBearAviation]

Awesome and rare view! How do you get such an jealous opportunity?

[@TheFlyingExperience]

Holy Hell - how much weight is on that wheel when its raised up by the tug?!! Amazing

[@jumpnrun3368]

not too much. planes are very well balanced. if you unload a 747 in the front first, it will tip over. happened a few times in aviation history. not just in the 747. check this out :) aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/15042/can-passenger-distribution-cause-a-parked-airliner-to-tip

[@joeking22]

With all that pressure at the base of landing gear it's amazing it doesn't snap.

[@yoyoyoyoshua]

Not really cause once you get the plane rolling it's not hard to move. Also the landing gear is extremely strong. I saw what causes the landing gear to raise and lower on a 767 and shit is huge. Doesn't look like much till you get up close to the landing gear.

[@AJlion]

Whats the loud noise that the aircraft makes cause I always uses to think it was the engines on idle

[@xvasek]

What a lucky man

[@PeterLokey]

Awesome Video. How Did You Get This Video?

[@larissapiechocinski582]

best plane ever

[@philkimber8086]

It's a good push but as we all know , those of us who have experience of manoeuvring aircraft using a TBL ( lifting ) type tug is very much easier than using a tug and tow bar which articulates at two points. It's much more technical and a skilled method of manoeuvring planes. At Heathrow we would also do this reversing planes onto the taxiway if we have to reposition to hangers or other areas of LHR.

[@ikarlhd1]

You think so? I believe the good old Tug and bar method is quite simple, turn left to go left and right to go right

[@qasimhussain3222]

[@philkimber8086]

Karl McCallum so you're experienced in the tug and bar method?

[@Hiro-kt1sl]

@@ikarlhd1 what are you say is right

[@richardricart8140]

we enjoy. that

[@ezrachai8218]

does the front gear move?

[@ladislavmalak444]

How high above the ground are those front tires lifted by that pushback truck?

[@LeesProWash1]

Wow this plane is HUGE. I work at a smaller airport in Ohio and the airline I work for get the biggest airbuses, but not nearly this big. I have fun pushing out our planes, couldn’t imagine how much fun this would be,

[@oganwaluyo12]

oh....great......!!!

[@Omaritheaviator]

This is some excellent footage! How'd you get this opportunity?

[@jo2h34iu34gfdfg]

How the hell did you achieve that!

[@matthewhanna9115]

the 747-800 outbeat the length of this plane by three feet

[@pizzasubs]

those cable that was attached to the planes front landing gear, what was that for? That leak at 7:00, hope that was a normal leak for the plane......

[@pizzasubs]

at the very beginning, that orange cable that was attached to the planes front landing gear, what was that for? 7:00 worried me for a second when I saw that liquid coming from the bottom of the plane and onto the tarmack....

[@CodingTuts]

Hey Dan! Amazing video!! I was wondering what's the accessory you use as an external microphone for your iphone to record videos?? Thanks!
