Airbus A321-211, G-DHJH

Summary:

Whilst manouvering the aircraft using a towbarless tug the aircraft’s nose wheels became disengaged from the tug’s hydraulic powered ‘grab and retention’ mechanism which allowed the tyres to contact the ground and the nose wheel steering motors, which were mounted on the nose landing gear leg, to contact the structure of the tug.
