Transcript of Australian Airports Association Comprehensive and frequently updated airside safety processes,...
Australian Airports AssociationComprehensive and frequently updated airside safety processes, procedures and material, developed and maintained in consultation with all responsible agencies and incorporating all the relevant rules, regulations and Acts are some of the ways Aerodrome Owners and Operators may employ to ensure that preventable incidents are minimised.
This document has been prepared by the Australian Airports Association’s Airport Education Working Group to assist airports to prepare internal and external parties for Airside Safety. The document is, however, only for guidance and each Aerodrome Owner and Operator must satisfy itself that it is finalised and tailored to be appropriate for its own local circumstances. This document contains suggestions only as to some of the matters that might be included in Airside Safety material. Users must not use the template “as is” or without considering all the relevant requirements.
We trust the contents will provide a useful resource and reference for Airport Educators.
AIRSIDE SAFETY
This module is designed to allow anyone, who has a lawful purpose to go airside, to gain an understanding of the airside operations and hazards that exist at XXX Airport.

Under CASA Regulations XXXXX Airport has a Drug and Alcohol Management Plan (DAMP)
To be fit to work or drive, you must not be affected by alcohol or drugs - prescription or otherwise.
This is because the effects lead to poor judgment, reduced alertness to potential dangers and a false sense of confidence in a hazardous environment.

You should always bear in mind that propellers and jet engines create a very strong blast behind the aircraft.
Always avoid the danger zone in front of an engine. To learn more please…
AIRSIDE SAFETY
Jetblast and propwash

Insert image of jet craft on your apron
Since you can’t see this blast directly, it’s called an invisible danger.
You may, however, see evidence of the blast, such as hot disturbed air behind the engines.
It’s best to be cautious and assume that any engine is ‘operational’ until you know otherwise.

Jetblast is powerful enough to overturn a large truck if it’s too close to the engine.
AIRSIDE SAFETY
Power of jetblast
Insert name and logo of your airport here
To prevent your vehicle blowing over or off course by a jetblast, as a general rule, you shouldn’t venture any closer than 4 aircraft body-lengths from the rear of the aircraft, or as directed.
You will need to leave more distance for small jet aircraft.
AIRSIDE SAFETY

To move the aircraft away from a stationary position, the pilot needs to apply a considerable amount of thrust, called breakaway thrust.
AIRSIDE SAFETY
Breakaway thrust
Insert name and logo of your airport here
The strength and effect of the propwash depends on the amount of thrust the pilot gives the engine.
Even on low thrust - as the plane taxis, for example - the propwash is incredibly powerful.
