Tronair 01-1273-0010 – Snap-Back Portable Towbar for JPATS Aircraft (CE)

The Tronair 01-1273-0010 Snap-Back Portable Towbar is a lightweight aircraft towbar specifically intended for use on the JPATS aircraft (Beechcraft T-6A Texan II, a modification of the Pilatus PC-9 aircraft).

The Snap-Back towbar includes a spring in the towing head attachment to the towbar which provides a dampening of radial forces around the aircraft's nose landing gear during towing operations.

The towbar attaches to the aircraft's nose landing gear axle via machined pins on the towing head. An eyebolt at the end of the towbar enables efficient towing.
