  2. Overview • Ramp Operations • Safety sources • Cell phones on commercial flights

  3. Ramp Operations • Over 350 aircraft ramp accidents since 2008 • 80% substantial damage • 18% death or serious injury • 62 % during taxi

  4. Be Aware • Get the big picture • Know the traffic flow • Stay aware • Ask the FBO for guidance • Don’t rely on your ears • To much back ground noise • Ear protection also blocks warnings

  5. Look for Hazards • Look out • Tripping hazards • Walking into wings • FOD (foreign object debris) • Leave trash in FBO • Pick it up

  6. Driving on the Ramp • Careful in car • Aircraft have right-of-way • Rule may be different than the road • Stay visible (center line) • Slow down • Keep aircraft on the drivers side (avoid blind spots)

  7. Preflight and Props • Avoid distractions • Don’t walk through the prop rotation area • Assume a hot magneto (Engine can start with the key off) • Check magneto after every sortie • Never hand prop

  8. Passenger Safety • Assume they don’t know the hazards • Stay with them • Stay clear of aircraft with pilot inside (it may start engines soon) • Keep passengers in the aircraft until prop stops rotating • They don’t see a moving props • Brief them on where to meet incase of an emergency

  9. Sporty’s and FAA supports Safety • Sporty’s Academy and SAFE (Society of Aviation and Flight Educators) announced that they too have made training syllabi available not only from the SAFE website, but from the Pilot Training Reform website as well. http://www.safepilots.org/ • Download the May/June issue of FAA Safety Briefing at www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/ to explores how developments in the National Airspace System (NAS)

  10. Electronics and Planes • Cell phones and pagers must be turned off as the aircraft leaves the gate • FAA found devices can interfere with communication/navigation equipment • May have caused autopilot error and crash in 2000 • Radar altimeter error and crash in 1995 • Cause distractions during safety instructions

  11. Stay Safe During the Critical 101 Day of Summer
