SCOPE1.1 PurposeThis SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) specifies the interface requirements for tow bar attachment fittings on the nose gear (when towing operations

8、are performed from the nose gear) of conventional tricycle type landing gears of commercial civil transport aircraft with a maximum ramp weight higher than 50,000 kg (110,000 pounds), commonly designated as “main line aircraft”.Its purpose is to achieve tow bar attachment fittings interface standard

9、ization by aircraft weight category (which determines tow bar forces) in order to ensure that one single type of tow bar with a standard connection can be used for all aircraft types within or near that weight category, so as to assist operators and airport handling companies in reducing the number

10、of different tow bar types used.1.2 Field of ApplicationThis document is intended to be applicable to all new models of main line aircraft within the specified maximum ramp weight range, entering service or designed after its original date of publication. See Section 3.It is not intended to apply to

11、 previously in service main line aircraft models, which present a considerable variety of tow bar attachment fittings.2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTSThe following publications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein. The latest issue of SAE publications shall apply. The applicable issue

12、of other publications shall be the issue in effect on the date of the purchase order.

EFFECTIVITY3.1 This document is applicable to commercial transport aircraft airworthiness certif

17、ied under FAR Part 25/CS-25 with a maximum ramp weight over 50,000 kg (110,000 pounds). It does not apply to aircraft airworthiness certified under FAR Part 25/CS-25 with a maximum ramp weight under 50,000 kg (110,000 pounds), which are covered by AS5488 and/or ISO 8267-2.3.2 Where a family of exist

18、ing or contemplated aircraft types bridges two weight categories, a single towbar attachment fitting interface should be used for all of them, and consideration should be given to possible use of the standard dimensions for the higher weight category throughout the family.NOTE: Inasmuch as practical

19、, this document was defined in order to be compatible with as many existing aircraft types as possible in the weight category concerned.4. REQUIREMENTS4.1 Towing LoadsThe aircraft nose landing gear tow bar attachment fitting shall be able to react the limit towing loads prescribed in FAR Part 25/CS-

20、25, paragraph 25.509 (d), based on the following towing load FTOW :-FTOW = 0.15 Wr, where Wr is aircraft maximum ramp weight, for Wr in excess of 45,360 kg (100,000 pounds).4.2 Aircraft Attachment Fitting LocationThe fitting shall be designed to enable simple attachment of the tow bar at the front a

21、nd (when requested by the acquiring airline) at the rear of the nose landing gear for push-pull towing operations. 4.3 Aircraft Weight CategoriesSee Table 1.Table 1 - Aircraft weight categoriesCategory Maximum Ramp WeightIIIIIIIVV50,000 kg (110,000 pounds) to 100,000 kg (220,000 pounds)100,000 kg (2

22、20,000 pounds) to 180,000 kg (400,000 pounds)180,000 kg (400,000 pounds) to 350,000 kg (770,000 pounds)350,000 kg (770,000 pounds) to 500,000 kg (1,100,000 pounds)over 500,000 kg (1,100,000 pounds)NOTE: The tow bar attachment fitting category shall be selected in such a way that no change of type wi

23、ll be necessaryduring aircraft development. For aircraft whose design maximum ramp weight is near the top limit of a weight category, it may be classified in the next higher category to allow for weight growth.SAE INTERNATIONAL AS1614DPage4of 54.4 Tow Bar Attachment Fitting Configuration, Dimensions

24、 and ClearancesThe standard configuration of the attachment fitting shall be a horizontal cylindrical pin (Table 2, Figure 1).Table 2 - Nominal pin dimensionsDimension Category I Category II Category III Category IV Category VA(diameter)B(length)38.10 mm(1.50 inches)113.03 mm(4.45 inches)44.45 mm(1.
