rews, successfully moving your Kiowa Warrior from Point A to Point B depends
on proper use of the ground handling wheels (GHW) and the TM procedures.
Everything you need to know on GHW
and their use is found in TM 1-1730-232-
13&P.
When you hook up the wheels to the
skid and start rolling, be careful not to hit a
bump. When a rolling aircraft hits a bump,
the tail cone section will usually bounce
upward if you are not using the tail Fn
dolly. If that happens, there’s a tendency
to grab the tail cone to balance or brace the
aircraft. Don’t! If you do, it spells doom
for the tail cone. It’s not strong enough to
be grabbed hard and it will break.
When moving aircraft, use the stinger. Never use the tail cone. The stinger is
stronger and works well as a hold point while ground handling your Kiowa. In
addition to being used for maneuvering the aircraft, the stinger keeps the vertical Fn
from impacting the ground during landings.

safer and
easier.
