Recommendations

Info

• The wing walker should advise the marshaller in control how close the tip clearance is, not only by giving “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”, but by holding his hands apart to simulate the actual clearance. XIII. Signals Used For Aircraft Movement on the Apron All Marshaller signals will comply with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardization Agreement 3117, and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO signals. The marshaller will signal facing the aircraft while standing in one of these positions: 1. Fixed-wing aircraft. The marshaller will stand forward of the aircraft to the pilots left. Remember if you cannot see the pilot he cannot see you! 2. Helicopters. The marshaller will stand in front in full view of the pilot. During night operations, the marshaller will use a pair of same colour light wands. During taxiing or parking, the pilot must stop immediately if one or both of the marshaller’s wands fail. Upon observing or receiving any of the signals, the aircraft shall take such action as may be required by the interpretation of the signal given. The signals shall be used only for the purpose indicated and no other signals likely to be confused with them shall be used. No person shall guide an aircraft unless trained, qualified and approved by the appropriate authority to carry out the functions of a signalman. The signalman shall wear a distinctive fluorescent identification vest to allow the flight crew to identify that he or she is the person responsible for the marshalling operation. Daylight-fluorescent wands, table-tennis bats or gloves shall be used for all signalling by all participating ground staff during daylight hours. Illuminated wands shall be used at night or in low visibility. When you are going to marshall as you approach the aircraft, look all around, under and behind for anything that may be a potential hazard either to the aircraft or to personnel behind the aircraft. Assume your position in front the pilot. Make eye contact, raise fully extended arms straight above head with wands pointing up, move hands forward and afterwards to keep from blending into the background. Indicating to him “I am your marshaller.” Remember, if you can’t see the pilot, he can’t see you. Your posture should be balanced, legs apart, yet relaxed. Check for fire bottle; look over aircraft for leaking fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluid or open compartments. Check to ensure civilians and ground crew are out of the way. Do a 360 degrees check before the engines are started. Use the ICAO & NATO signals described ahead to marshall out: - 48 -
- 49 - Fig. 1 WING WALKER/GUIDE Raise right hand above head level with wand pointing up; move left-hand wand pointing down toward body. Note: This signal provides an indication by a person positioned at the aircraft wing tip, to the pilot/marshaller/push-back operator, that the aircraft movement on/off a parking position would be unobstructed. Fig. 2 PROCEED TO NEXT MARSHALLER Point both arms upward, move and extend arms outward to side of body and point with wands to direction of the next marshaller or taxi area. Fig. 3 THIS MARSHALLER (Identify gate) Raise fully extended arms straight above head with wands pointing up, move hands fore and aft to keep from blending into background.
