Aircraft Don't Use Reverse Thrust To Push Back, Why?@AVIATION TODAY
Published at : November 29, 2022
There are several reasons why using reverse thrust at the gate is not optimal for pushing back. As such, many aircraft today are banned from doing so. While it is technically possible for aircraft to do so, there are many things that can go wrong with this practice.
For example, the air blast around the aircraft can stir debris that may cause damage. This could affect the gate itself, other ground vehicles and aircraft, or anyone standing near the plane. The ground crew would need to clear the area before the engines are activated, and this might not save any time compared to using a tug.
There is also the consideration of items being 'sucked' into the engine themselves. As the engine spins with increasing power, it creates a vortex. This could pull items such as tools into the expensive engines.
The power back operation also uses a lot of fuel and is very loud. Today, noise pollution is becoming an increasingly controversial factor of airport operations. Therefore, it is understandable that stakeholders wish to avoid this practice.
Finally, pilots in the aircraft can't see behind them, as aircraft do not have rearview mirrors like cars. As such, they would need a spotter on the ground anyway. This would negate the point of doing a movement without any help.
Simply put, it is too risky for the airport, the ground crew, and the aircraft to deploy reverse thrust that close to the terminal building. The upside is a few minutes and dollars saved, but the downside could be millions in damage and a grounded aircraft. As such, the small but mighty workhorses of an airport's tug fleet will continue to push aircraft back for the time being.@AVIATION TODAY
