What's the pin for?

@n76g2000hsh.googlegroups.com: Some planes, for example the Airbus, also depend on powered hydraulics as a separate aid to holding the gear in place. Actualy, no they don't. and you can lower the landing gear in any 'bus through completely mechanical means and it wil stay down with no hydraulics powering the system whatsoever.. They suggest that pins be put in place if a tug is used to move an unpowered plane (such as for maintenance). They do that in any type of airplane... Bertie
