Ground Handling
Preventing Incidents
With almost all damage being the result
of human error, the first step to preventing
ground damage from taking place is
through training and procedures.
Popovich says some of the best
practices are:
* Ensuring proper clearance during taxi.
Ramps can be congested, and ground
crews should try to move GSE or other
movable objects out of the way. This
can be done using parking markers,
painted guidelines, wingtip clearance
indicators, etc.
* While servicing aircraft, some procedures
could include:
° Always consider the aircraft's
Circle of Safety;
° Reduce speed;
° Be deliberate, intentional and slow;
° Stayed focused on the task, avoid
distractions;
° Use a guide person when maneuvering
close to aircraft;
° Position smaller GSE by
hand, if needed;
° Eliminate the 3-point connection;
° Consider all factors.
Another best practice is to customize
GSE components to eliminate possible
hazards. Purchase extended cables,
hoses, couplings etc. Use GSE with larger
diameter tires for ease of maneuvering,
or use GSE that is designed to be
moved by hand.
" My best advice is training, training,
training. The procedures are pretty standard
and in place, but it's really a matter
of continually reminding people of what
the procedures are, because humans
tend to deviate or forget. " So, repetitive
training and keeping your staff aware of
what the costs are of their lack of awareness, "
Mann says.
The cost of ground damage repairs can
there's more to consider beyond money.
Yeomans suggests identifying opportunities
to avoid complacency in the workplace
can be key to avoiding damage.
" Effective training, identifying your top
safety concerns, analyzing and mitigating
the risks from those safety concerns,
measuring safety performance against
realistic targets, proactively identifying
improvement opportunities. In essence
having an effective safety management
