What is ISO 8267-2 - Interface requirements about ?
ISO 8267-2 specifies the interface requirements for tow bar attachment fittings on the nose gear (when towing operations are performed from the nose gear) of conventional tricycle-type landing gears of commercial civil transport aircraft.
ISO 8267-2 is applicable to all new models of regional aircraft within the specified maximum ramp mass range which enter service or are designed after its date of publication.
ISO 8267-2 does not apply to previously in-service regional aircraft models, which present a considerable variety of tow bar attachment fittings. However, a simple retrofit modification is described that may make certain in-service fittings compatible with a tow bar head in conformity with ISO 8267-2 , where deemed appropriate in order to facilitate the operation of such aircraft types at airports.
