Info

In the case of lightning, automatic detection systems are available that track storms, count and locate each lightning strike and determine the potential for lightning strikes, based on atmospheric conditions. These systems require human monitoring and human interpretation. Systems that combine several methods of detection along with visual observation are the most effective. Severe Weather Notification High Winds As the measures are to be taken in the event of high winds, it requires a lot of preparation, the earlier the “Warning” is given, the better. Lightning For lightning activity, the notification process may be broken down into 3 phases: • Alert – Lightning activity is detected at a distance in excess of 8 km (5 miles) from your operation. • Stop/Suspend activities – Lightning activity is detected within 5 km (3 miles) of your operation. • All Clear – Lightning activity has moved beyond 5 km (3 miles) and is heading away from your operation. The distances referred to above may vary dependent upon local climatic parameters. Low Visibility and Ground Icing As lo visibility and/or ground icing conditions can be associated with various types of weather events the notification phase will need to be coordinated with the specifics of the weather patterns. Notification Methods Getting the word out to all personnel that severe weather is on the way or imminent, is a challenge; therefore all organizations must be integrated into the notification process. One or more systems may be used: • Radio – Good for small areas where workers perform their duties together and team leaders with radios can get the word to everyone. • Visual – Lights on structures that indicate that you are to take shelter in doors is another method. These lights must be distinctive so as not to blend into the back-ground of be confused with other lights. Green for all clear, yellow for warning, red for take shelter. For single light systems a flashing light may be used as it is less likely to be confused with other lights. How these lights are activated and by whom must also be considered. • Audible – horns or sirens can also be used but they must be able to be heard over engine and equipment noise. - 30 -
What to do when Severe Weather is Imminent General • Activate the “The Severe Weather Plan” and communicate to all personnel that it is in effect. • Meet with ground operations, ground support equipment and maintenance managers to outline the forecast and review resources. • Notify dispatch, passenger service and planning groups that operations may be interrupted. • Continue to monitor and communicate the weather situation. High winds Ensure all personnel know of the impending weather event and before the high winds arrive determine how long it will take to do all the things described underneath. Secure aircraft • Aircraft should be appropriately secured, per airframe manufacturer´s procedures by using additional chocks, and/or setting aircraft park brakes, and /or ballasting the aircraft. • Secure all cargo nets and close all cargo doors on aircraft. • Secure all aircraft cabin doors • Note: Securing the passenger cabin doors with the APU/packs operating or an external conditioned air source connected can pressurize the aircraft. • Close cockpit windows. • Close all service panels. • Lock control surfaces in accordance with aircraft maintenance manuals. • Secure aircraft nose gear torsion links to prevent weather vaning with free moving nose wheels. • Hook up towbar and attach tugs when possible and install by-pass pins. • If time permits, and parking areas are available, move the aircraft into hangars. • If hangars are not available consider remote parking aircraft to get them away from structures that they could be blown into. Use all above securing techniques and face aircraft into the wind if possible. - 31 -
