Best Practices Manual for Working In or Near Airport Movement Areas. Airport Cooperative Research Program Report 101

摘要

Airports are dynamic environments: aircraft landing, departing, and taxiing in airfield movement areas; changing weather conditions that affect visibility minimums and drive changes in runway use configurations; airfield operational changes to accommodate operational restrictions or temporary conditions; ground vehicle movements on the airfield; snow removal and aircraft deicing operations; airport operations and inspection activities; airport construction and maintenance activities; and even emergencies or special events. Although activities on the airfield are varied, all happen in a complex operating environment and the careful and controlled accommodation of these activities is critical to protecting the safety and security of aircraft operations, aircraft passengers, ground vehicles, and personnel (e.g., airport, tenant, contractor, and agency) on the airfield. Awareness and a thorough understanding of potential risks, appropriate practices, and the airport environment--including the potential risk of accidents, incidents, and incursions--are paramount to ensuring overall safety.
