Aim & Objectives of Lesson

Aim To welcome learners to their study programme BTEC
Level 2 Certificate in Aviation Operations on the Ground
Objectives:
Learners must: Have an understanding of what the unit
involves and what you will be assessed on
Be able to identify how UK airports are different
Learners should: Accurately code and decode airport codes
Learners could: Explain the risk to potential airside and
aircraft hazards

Introduction to airports
Lets discuss your
travelling
experiences

UK airports
Airports within the UK can be defined by
various factors:
Airport passenger numbers per year
Location of the airport
Destinations of fights offered by the airport
e.g. long-haul, short-haul, domestic

Types of UK airports
Major international airports:
These provide a wide range of international services
(both short-haul and usually long-haul ) and a
significant range of charter and domestic services.
For example: London Heathrow

Types of UK airports
Regional airports
These provide a network of short-haul scheduled
international services, and sometimes a small
number of long-haul services, as well as a
significant number of charter and domestic services.
For example Bristol International Airport

Types of UK airports
Local airports
These operate some domestic services and
sometimes a small number of short-haul
services, as well as charter services and general
aviation. For example Norwich International

A RISK is the likelihood, high
or low, that somebody could
be harmed by the hazard,
together with an indication of
how serious the harm could
be

WHERE CAN ACCIDENTS

HAPPEN?
Restricted zones:
1. Landside terminal building
2. Airside out on ramp
3. Aircraft
There will be some crossover because at an airport, all
a/c hazards are airside although we are going to
concentrate solely on hazards and risks caused by a/c and
caused by other factors (vehicles, manual handing)

AIM & OBJECTIVES OF

LESSON
Aim To prepare learners for assignment task 1
Objectives:
Learners must: Understand who to report safety
breaches to
Identify key airside surface markings
Learners should: Be able to explain how to report
to certain safety breaches
Learners could: Be able to differentiate between a
range of situations

REPORTING SAFETY
BREACHES
Safety breach situations may require immediate attention,
routine situations (DfT) or require urgent response.

Persons to report to when a breach of safety has been

identified:
Company supervisor

Airport Authority (BHX)

Air Traffic Control (ATC) -

for airfield safety and security issues

Flight safety concerns

Aircraft engineer
Control authorities

police, fire, ambulance, Border Agency

REPORTING SAFETY
BREACHES

How?

Reporting procedures
Written report to follow-up a verbal report and
routine situations (DfT)
Photograph - for evidence

Follow up by learning from potential accidents

Verbal communication immediate situation
Control authorities for urgent situations

POTENTIAL SAFETY
BREACHES

1. Speeding airside
2. Ramp agent not using
equipment correctly
3. Unauthorised person on
board an aircraft
4. Passenger smoking
whilst boarding/deboarding

In pairs, discuss and

write down how you
would respond to these
breaches and who
needs to be informed?
Think about whether
the breach needs an
immediate response or
urgent response.

AIRSIDE SURFACE
MARKINGS

Apron -

A defined area provided for the stationing of

aircraft for the boarding and de-boarding of
passengers, the loading and unloading of cargo, fuelling,
and for parking.

Taxiway A defined path established for the taxying of

aircraft to an aircraft stand

AIRSIDE SURFACE
MARKINGS
Roads
Painted signs
Lights to guide pilots onto
stand and runway lights
