The forward movement of an aircraft, usually with engines off using the power of a specialized ground vehicle attached to or supporting the nose landing gear. It may occur for in service and out of service aircraft and this will affect the promulgation of procedures and the required qualification for those occupying the flight crew seats on the aircraft during the manoeuvre. As part of out of service re positioning of aircraft supervised by maintenance personnel, it may follow 'ushback' from a nose-in gate of an empty aircraft with engines off.
