Where's the F/O of this a/c. All I see is the head rest of the seat that's supposed to be filled w/ a crew member. (I'm half Asian so it's allowed) I know Asian's are short but really? (JK)

Even if this a/c is being pulled to the gate or to parking or to a stand or hanger or whatnot. What are the procedures for an a/c. I have always been under the impression that the a/c must have the same crew members on the ground as it would in the air. REGUARDLESS of where it's going. Be it 10ft. or the other side of the world.

Thanks for all the help!

Thanks again.

It looks as though it is being towed from maint so I would presume that there would be an engineer on the flight deck in lieu of flight crew.

Usually one engineer from the ground in the cockpit is sufficient for the aircraft to be towed.. no pilots needed.  Smile
