The APU is not needed to supply power for the brakes when the 787 is under tow. The28vdc from APU battery and main battery supplies sufficient power to operate the brakes for a limited amount of time.

787 doesn't require hydraulics to operate the brakes.

tabhawk....hydraulics are not needed for brakes on the 787 as they are operated by electric power. Only the battery needs to be hooked up and the towing switch on for the brakes to work.

The iced pitot/static blockage would be the least of your worries if you were in freezing rain. As wsmith said, the "clear" ice formation on the airframe would weigh down the aircraft and reduce lift generation.
