Customer Directorate General of Civil Aviation of the Netherlands/ European Commercial Aviation Safety Team Contract number ---- Owner NLR Division Air Transport Distribution Limited Classification of title Unclassified April 2010 Approved by: Author Reviewer Managing department SUMMARY The Ground Safety Working Group of the European Commercial Aviation Safety Team has the overall objective to encourage implementation of action plans developed by existing ground safety initiatives when addressing European ground safety issues and to develop new safety enhancement action plans otherwise. The topic of human factors has been addressed as one of the ground safety issues for which safety enhancement plans have to be developed. This document describes research on human factors in ground handling, performed under the authority of the European Commercial Aviation Safety Team by the Air Transport Safety Institute of the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR, in cooperation with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Netherlands. The objective of this study is to investigate the causal factors which lead to human errors during the ground handling process, creating unsafe situations, personal accidents or incidents. The results provide a basis for recommendations to the participating ground service providers and the European aviation industry. Seven ground service providers within the Netherlands participated in the study. Questionnaires were distributed to two target groups: Management and Operational personnel, with an average response rate of 33%. The first section of the questionnaire aimed to assess the organisations’ safety culture; the second section focused on human factors. The overall level of safety culture of the participating ground service providers ranges from 3.4 to 3.8 on a five point scale. With regard to safety culture, attention should be paid to: • The propagation of the safety policy and principles by Management to Operational personnel; • Substantiate and elaborate the principles of a just culture; • Communication of safety related issues, a.o. by developing and maintaining a safety reporting system; • The ‘visibility’ of Management to Operational personnel. NLR-CR-2010-125 April 2010 5 With regard to human factors, points of particular attention are: • Emphasize awareness of the potential risks of human factors like time pressure, stress, fatigue and communication, and training on how to manage these factors; • Standardisation of phraseology on the ramp. Further research may be focused on the potential effects (damage, injury) of the current focus on on-time-departures. Simultaneously, further development of the communication chain on the ramp should be explored.

ESSI is based on the principle that the industry can complement regulatory action by voluntary committing to cost effective safety enhancements. ECAST is a partnership between the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), other European regulators and the aviation industry. ECAST addresses large fixed wing aircraft operations and aims to further enhance commercial aviation safety in Europe and for European citizens worldwide. ECAST cooperates with the United States’ Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) and other major safety initiatives worldwide, in particular under the Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme (COSCAP). ECAST has developed a safety approach using a three phase process: Phase 1 - Identification and selection of safety issues; Phase 2 - Safety issues analysis; Phase 3 - Development, implementation and monitoring of actions plans. Phase 1 has been conducted from April 2006 to December 2007, in which eighteen safety subjects have been identified as topics for further analysis in Phase 2. Using a prioritising process, combining safety importance, coverage (the extent to which subjects are already covered in other safety works) and high level cost benefit considerations, ECAST decided in 2008 to launch activities on Safety Management Systems (SMS) and Ground Safety, as part of Phase 2. In phase 2, the ECAST Ground Safety Working Group (GSWG) has been established in February 2009 and coordinates with major ground safety initiatives including the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Ground Handling Operations Safety Team (GHOST) established by the Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom (CAA UK). The GSWG has the overall objective to encourage implementation of action plans developed by existing ground safety NLR-CR-2010-125 10 April 2010 initiatives

  • 2004 Airline Competition Plan Update
    2004 AIRLINE COMPETITION PLAN UPDATE Submitted for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport On behalf of the Metropolitan Airports Commission February 22, 2004 INTRODUCTION Under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, or “AIR- 21”, large and medium hub airports that meet a certain threshold of concentration are required to submit competition plans. The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (“MSP” or “Airport”) meets the standards set out in AIR-21, as it is a large hub airport with more than 50% of its traffic served by a single carrier, Northwest Airlines. In 2001, MAC filed an update to its 2000 Airline Competition Plan to present its ongoing efforts to expand airport facilities necessary for vibrant competition and to secure competitive air service in its major markets. The efforts described in the 2001 Update largely represented MSP market conditions and efforts prior to September 11, 2001. The purpose of the 2004 Update will be to provide information pertaining to post September 11 market conditions at MSP as well as MSP’s post September 11 efforts to foster competition. Therefore, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) hereby submits this update to the 2000 Airline Competition Plan and 2001 Update. I. AVAILABILITY OF GATES AND RELATED FACILITIES A. Number and identity of any air carriers that have begun providing or stopped service In December 2001, locally based Sun Country Airlines ceased operations after nearly 20 years of successful operations at MSP. The effects of a slumping economy and September 11 took a significant toll on Sun Country’s ability to sustain operations and essentially forced the carrier into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

    Igor Štimac, Damir Vince, Bruna Jakšić MODEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT HANDLING – Case Study: ZAGREB AIRPORT MODEL OF ENVIRONMENT - FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT HANDLING – CASE STUDY: ZAGREB AIRPORT Igor Štimac, MSc, IAP Damir Vince, MSc, IAP Zagreb Airport Ltd., Rudolfa Fizira Street 1, p.p. 40, HR-10150 Zagreb, Croatia [email protected], [email protected] Bruna Jakšić, mag.ing.el City office for energetics, environment protection and sustainable development, Dukljaninova 3, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] ABSTRACT In the era of increased awareness surrounding global warming and the importance of renewable energy, airports are affected by the rising costs of fossil fuels, as well as by the demands for the reduction of greenhouse gases emission. This paper reports the effort to determine the benefits of replacing gasoline and diesel-fueled internal combustion engine ground support equipment (ICE GSE) with electric ground support equipment (eGSE). The model of environment-friendly aircraft handling will be based on the examination of cost- effectiveness and reduction of greenhouse gases in the case of replacing fossil-fueled GSE with cleaner, more efficient electric-powered alternatives. In comparison with the current procedures of Ground Handling, the authors choose Zagreb Airport Ltd. as the representative airport for building Case Study and Airbus A319/A320 as the reference aircraft for calculation of greenhouse gases emission during handling process. The calculation method will be based on real time duration of processes performed by each piece of GSE during aircraft handling procedure. The usage of the model will be tested on aircraft handling for two airline business models: network and low cost.

The aim was to provide information about fare types and to recognize the problems the fare types have on ground handling. There was no earlier research conducted on this subject in Theseus database. The thesis includes a theoretical section that describes the different fare types and the cus- tomer service closely related to this topic is also given consideration to in the theoretical section. The theoretical section also discusses the basics of aircraft ground handling. The study was based on quantitative methods. A questionnaire was given to the employees of Aviator Airport Services Finland Ltd to address the problems and to gain information from the people who confront these issues on a daily basis. In total 41 responses were received on pa- per. Due to the low number of responses, the thesis has qualitative research features. The results were analyzed and themed. The results indicate that the respondents noticed communication and the amount of hand luggage to be the main issues. However, there was also some duality in the responses and a part of the respondents saw that there were no pro b- lems at the departure gate due to difference in fare types and a significant part who thought it caused problems considerably.

  • Ground Handling Simulation with CAST
    Master Thesis Department of Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering Ground Handling Simulation with CAST .1.1 Fachbereich Fahrzeugtechnik und Flugzeugbau Author: Sara Sanz de Vicente Supervisor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dieter Scholz, MSME Delivered: 13.09.2010 2 Abstract Nowadays low cost airlines carriers have grown becoming an important part of the passenger air traffic market. Since they are looking for ground handling operations which would reduce the aircraft costs, a new aircraft can be developed optimizing the turnaround process. This master thesis is focused on the analysis of ground handling processes and and the description and application of the simulation program Comprehensive Airport Simulation Technology (CAST) Ground Handling. This program enables to obtain a 3D simulation of different service arrangements of a reference aircraft model, including an analysis about involved costs in the turnaround process. The analysis of ground handling processes is based on the real-time ground handling videos recorded at different airports by ARC Aachen. The videos were analyzed to collect data of ground handling process times and characteristics. The data was summarized in and Excel table in order to be statistically analyzed. Based on the results of the statistical analysis, the turnaround Gantt charts have been created and analysed showing the features of the turnaround scenario with the shortest turnaround time and the smallest ground handling costs. The conducted simulation shows the ground handling process of a reference aircraft based on the Airbus A320 during a turnaround. The results that have been extracted from the simulation are the ground handling process times and the costs and the visual simulation in 3D of the defined scenario.

Through the Next Generation Air Transport System project, a comprehensive overhaul of the airspace infrastructure is envisaged which includes major hub airports like Chicago‟s O‟Hare International Airport (ORD). Constantly affected by delays, incursions and capacity constraints, the risks of the airport layout modifications at ORD after completion of the O‟Hare Modernization Program (OMP) have been identified in this thesis. Further, the use of perimeter or end-around taxiways (EAT) have been tested in ARENA© using a full-scale post-OMP airport layout of ORD. Impacts on safety, runway occupancy times and overall airport efficiency in future high traffic scenarios have been analyzed. Results show that the implementation of EATs will drastically reduce the potential for incursions with a 15-25 percent increase in global-level airport taxi-times.
