Before starting towing with the A/C, what should the TOW STATUS MODE indicator show?

The TOW STATUS MODE indicator showing a green light signifies that the aircraft is ready for towing operations. A green light indicates that all systems related to the towing configuration are functioning correctly, ensuring that the aircraft can be safely towed without any issues. This status is crucial for the safety of both the aircraft and the towing procedures, as it confirms that the necessary systems are engaged and operational.

When the TOW STATUS MODE indicator does not show a green light, it could indicate that the aircraft is not properly prepared for towing. A yellow light may suggest that the aircraft is in a cautionary state, while a red light typically signals a critical issue that must be resolved before towing can commence. No light might indicate that the system is inactive or unresponsive, which would also prevent safe towing activities. Hence, a green light is essential for confirming that everything is in order for towing to proceed safely.
