Identify flight-line equipment.

Identification should include

  • personal protective equipment (PPE)
    • ear (hearing) safety and headsets
    • eye (vision) safety (i.e., safety glasses, goggles)
    • safety shoes
    • gloves
    • visibility vest/reflective clothing
  • ground support equipment (e.g., air conditioning units, electrical units)
  • marshalling equipment.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • At what decibel level and exposure time does hearing loss occur?
  • Why are safety shoes required, and how are they constructed?
  • Why does the ground crew wear reflective clothing?
  • How is marshalling equipment used by flight-line personnel to improve safety and efficiency at an airport?
