Pushback Tug Tips Back C208

Device: iPad 10th Generation
Operating system: Latest



When I attached the pushback tug to the C208 yesterday, as soon as the tug spawned in, the plane tipped on its tail before I even started pushing. When I did command it to push, it remained in this state, even when I detached the tug. After I started the engine up, no amount of maneuvering could put the aircraft back on all 3 wheels. I was able to recreate this issue.

What is your weight set to? I could see this happening with a lot of stuff in aft cargo.

The first occurrence happened when I was flying from DAL-TYR, which is about a 100nm flight. I had only 1 passenger (plus crew) onboard, with maybe 450kg of cargo onboard. My initial thought was excessive weight in aft cargo, so when I went to reproduce it, I did it with a totally empty plane (no passengers, crew, fuel, or cargo), with the same result. Here’s a video of it happening:

What was the wind like?

maybe it’s a combination of wind + payload, which may be too heavy in the back.

Negligible - if I remember correctly, the winds were maybe 3 knots in Dallas and 5 in Grand Marais when this happened.

Hey. Also playing from an iPad 10. I had exactly the same issue with the tug. But something I also experienced is that sometimes the plane falls through the ground giving stalling and over speeding warnings.
Is it just me or has someone else also experienced this?
