I. Personnel Safety in <strong>Aircraft</strong> <strong>and</strong> Load<br />

H<strong>and</strong>ling Operations<br />

Introduction<br />

The objective <strong>of</strong> this training is to build a firm foundation in the marshalling<br />

fundamentals for all new marshallers <strong>and</strong> a refresher for skilled ones in KAIA<br />

International Airport.<br />

By the end <strong>of</strong> this training you will demonstrate the ability to control the movement<br />

<strong>of</strong> an aircraft on the apron using the International <strong>Civil</strong> <strong>Aviation</strong> Organization<br />

(ICAO) signals <strong>and</strong> the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) St<strong>and</strong>ardization<br />

Agreement 3117, <strong>and</strong> be familiar with the inherent dangers in apron operations <strong>and</strong><br />

plan ways to minimize them.<br />

The CST service is a group <strong>of</strong> specialist not associated with any other work team<br />

<strong>and</strong> are responsible only to Air Operations Chief. Their work is to ensure a safe<br />

environment for ground crew members, aircrafts, <strong>and</strong> apron visitors.<br />

The fundamental purpose <strong>of</strong> a marshaller is to control the movement <strong>of</strong> an<br />

aircraft prior to <strong>and</strong> after the flight. This function is performed mainly on the<br />

apron <strong>and</strong> occasionally on the taxiway <strong>and</strong> runway; taking care <strong>and</strong> ensuring that the<br />

movement area is clear <strong>of</strong> vehicles <strong>and</strong> pedestrian traffic. This function is<br />

accomplished using ICAO APPROVED marshalling h<strong>and</strong> signals.<br />

The primary maxim <strong>of</strong> the KAIA Marshaller is:<br />

“LET’S DO IT BETTER THAN PERFECT.”<br />

In order to function as a marshaller, you must be:<br />

KNOWLEDGEABLE<br />
