  2. Ground Safety

  3. Ground Safety • Minor incidents, such as hangar rash, are costly: expensive to repair, aircraft insurance goes up, resale value of the aircraft goes down • Result of inattentiveness and human factor issues • EASY TO PREVENT! http://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/PREVENTING_HANGAR_RASH_104F158FE31AA.pdf

  4. Prevention of Ground Incidents • Hangar Guidelines • One of the best ways to move an aircraft in and out of a hangar. • They are only guides • Still your responsibility to assure aircraft clearance around obstacles (chairs, tables, ladders, hangar doors, etc.)

  5. Prevention of Ground Incidents • Hangar Doors • Bi-fold doors usually contact the rudder or props, upon opening or closing • Assure Door is fully open when removing the aircraft • Best practice is to have markers to demonstrate full open and closed

  6. Prevention of Ground Incidents • Fix Chocks’ Positions • Double check chock position before depending on it to stop your aircraft in the correct spot, when pushing back • Tail, wingtips need clearance and its usually only a couple inches • An inch of misalignment of chocks allows tail to move several feet

  7. Prevention of Ground Incidents • Guidelines • Again, guidelines are just that… guides • Crews’ responsibility to assure aircraft clearance along the whole taxi path http://www.nbaa.org/ops/safety/hangar/

  8. Prevention of Ground Incidents • Wing Walkers • Not this kind

  9. Prevention of Ground Incidents • Wing Walkers/Spotters • Having eyes on all sides of the aircraft

  10. Prevention of Ground Incidents “It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong!” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (American Poet/Educator)
