Pre-Arrival

  • Is the FOD check completed for the Operational Safety Zone prior to aircraft arrival?

  • Is the Standard Ramp Arrival Team position to receive aircraft 5 minutes prior to arrival ( one Marshaller and one Wing-Walker minimum crew size) size of crew determined by local conditions? Note: For interaction Locations when Self Park gates are used, ensure parking aid is switched on prior to aircraft arrival & the Marshaller/Arrival Team member remains at the manual control box/ aircraft emergency stop button until the aircraft has stopped

  • Is PCA connected within 5 minutes of aircraft arrival (where aircraft has in-op APU refer to RSM (Chapter 5)?

Beltloader Operation

  • Did the ramp crew stop movement (belt loader to adjust boom height (Approximately 3 feet from the aircraft)?

  • Were the belt loaders chocked/ brake set when positioned to aircraft?

  • Was the Safety handrail up on beltoader the employees are entering or exiting cargo compartments?

  • Did the ramp crew follow the requirements to not ride moving belt?
