Aviation Boatswain's Mate – Handling (ABH) Test 5 Practice

How many pounds can the A/S 32A-49 pull forward?

7,000 11,900 17,690 22,000

Correct Answer:

17,690

Explanation:

The amount you can safely pull forward with the A/S 32A-49 is determined by its rated forward-pull capacity. This tow bar is designed to transmit up to 17,690 pounds of forward force during aircraft towing. Staying at or below this limit protects the tow bar, the towing tractor, and the aircraft structure from overstress while maintaining safe handling. Why the other numbers don’t fit: they represent forces lower than the bar’s rated capacity (7,000 and 11,900 pounds) or exceed it (22,000 pounds), which would either underutilize the equipment or risk damage and failure. So, the maximum forward pull for the A/S 32A-49 is 17,690 pounds.
