Tow Landings in Europe?

[Passenger Mark]

Hey Royd,

I made a post over on Ray's forum about Monica's flight and "Tow Landings"

Is that something they do in Europe as well, and why would they do a Tow Landing?

Not as routine, the only time it would be used is if after landing the aircraft couldn't get off the runway under its own power. Due to works on the airport we had to shut down on stand and be towed onto stand but that is all.The only reversing I did was in the Shorts360 to back out off a stand. In jets reversing can cause things to be ingested to the engines so not common practise on the apron.
