Unit 18: Ramp Handling
Outcome 1: Understand the aircraft turnaround and efficiency of turning around
Outcome 2: Know air traffic control procedures employed and their relationship with ramp handling
Outcome3: Know the requirements and methods for aircraft loading in relation to both cargo and passenger handling
Outcome 4: Understand the regulatory framework and safety issues associated with work on the ramp.
Scenario 1:
Discuss the importance of air cargo, types of cargo and the patterns of cargo
Task 1: GROUP PRESENTATION AND INDIVIDUAL Written Report. P1, P2, M1,D1 SUBMISSION DATE 18 APRIL 2013
In groups prepare a presentation that covers:
P1 – Describe the operational procedures used during an aircraft turnaround and issues affecting efficiency
Guidelines for achieving P1
For P1, learners should describe the turnaround requirements and procedures, including the importance of efficiency. Learners should include at least four examples of defects and how they might be rectified. Clear description of aspects of line maintenance, the need to calculate fuel requirements according to payload and weather conditions, refuelling procedures, efficiency issues, operational aspects and efficiency issues is to be included with examples where relevant
P2 – Describe the air traffic control procedures employed during an aircraft turnaround and their relationship with ramp handling
Guidelines for achieving P2
P2 requires a description of the air traffic control procedures used in turnaround operations and the way in which these procedures facilitate safe and efficient ramp handling. The learner should describe the relationship that exists between ATC and the ramp handling agencies in relation to the importance of using correct procedures, including potential safety hazards, security issues, and disclosure vetting for all airside staff.
