DescriptionDo you know that a large number of aircraft accidents take place when the aircraft is on the ground?
Just like safety is importance during flight, it is of paramount importance when the aircraft is on the ground. Ramp is the place where an aircraft parks after it has landed on an airport and before it takes off again for another destination. There are tens of different ramp operations meant for servicing the aircraft to make it ready for departure again. These ramp operations (also known as Ground Support Operations) are integral part of airport operation.
A lot of accidents take place when the aircraft is on the ramp because ramp becomes a very busy place with a lot of movement of men and machines around the aircraft to perform different ground handling operations in a time pressure environment (to avoid delay in departure). Therefore, Ramp Safety is an important matter for anyone involved in airport or aircraft operations. Airport authorities, Ground Support Equipment manufacturers and regulatory bodies around the world strive for improving safety on the ramp in every possible way within their capacity.
This course will teach you what Ramp Safety is all about. This course is not going to give you a bullet list of safety precautions to be observed on the ramp because that is just too boring. This course is designed to impart intuitive understanding of ramp safety by explaining a lot of Why's behind the What's and How's. It is intended to cultivate an in-depth understanding of safety aspects of all major ground handling operations carried out on the ramp.
