Selecting the appropriate towing speed for an aircraft tug on a wet surface requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure safe and controlled movement. The most critical factor is reducing the towing speed significantly compared to dry conditions. Wet surfaces reduce the friction between the tug's tires and the pavement, increasing the risk of skidding or loss of control. As a general guideline, reduce the towing speed by at least 50% on a wet surface. The specific type of pavement also plays a role. Smooth concrete surfaces tend to be more slippery than grooved asph....
