"If preparation for long-term storage
was followed, it is not necessary to service them during the storage period," he
adds. "Once returned to service, the normal service schedule should be followed
for your equipment."
The time needed to return a GSE unit to
service, varies widely, Hoey explains. The
type of equipment, steps taken to store it
and maintenance requirements all factor in.
"The more complicated the unit, like a
deicer, will increase the checks. Whereas
something less complicated, like a bag tug,
may take less time," Cecil agrees. "Depending on how you stored it and if you had
been following PM cycles will also determine this."
Prepare Personnel
As flight volumes increase and equipment
is returned to service, more ground handling agents will also return to the ramp.
Certifications may have lapsed while GSE
was out of service or while personnel were
away from the job.
"It is always best practice to retrain
employees, so that they are ready to safely
operate once GSE is ready," DiMaria of
Textron GSE says.
"Textron GSE offers a full suite of training materials, that can be used to support
maintenance activities, including return to
service procedures."
"Each organization needs to review and
determine what is required based on their
own policies, along with local and federal
regulations," WestJet's Hoey adds.
A company's policy regarding current
training may be focused on technical
aspects of the equipment or safety requirements, JBT's Cecil says.
"At JBT, we want anyone operating or
maintaining equipment to be properly
trained," he notes. "To that extent, we offer
onsite - at JBT - and digital training platforms to assist."
Some airlines may be able to anticipate
their operating schedule and provide recurring training to employees prior to equipment returning to service, adds DiMaria.
Cecil believes the process of returning equipment to service and retraining
employees will be different for everyone,
so planning takes on increased importance.
"Setting up a plan to evaluate the fleet
you have, the units you will need, work to
be done and then setting a path forward is
what is needed," he says.
