The "Aircraft Marshalling" course is designed to provide participants with comprehensive training in the principles and practices of aircraft marshalling. This course is essential for ground handling personnel responsible for guiding aircraft on the ground safely and efficiently. Participants will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to communicate effectively with flight crews and ensure the smooth movement of aircraft in airport environments.
Upon completion of this course, participants will:
The standard course duration is 1 week, focusing on both theoretical learning and practical applications. The initial days cover theoretical foundations, including standard marshalling signals, communication protocols, and safety considerations. The latter part of the week involves participants in hands-on practical exercises, including simulated marshalling scenarios on the airport apron.
The theoretical segment includes classroom lectures, group discussions, and eLearning modules. Participants delve into the core concepts of aircraft marshalling, exploring internationally recognized signals, safety protocols, and effective communication techniques. Emphasis is placed on understanding the importance of marshalling in maintaining ground safety.
Practical training immerses participants in real-world scenarios, allowing them to apply aircraft marshalling principles. Participants engage in hands-on exercises that simulate aircraft taxiing, parking, and pushback operations. The practical training ensures participants are well-prepared to execute marshalling duties in diverse airport environments.
The course covers a range of topics, including:
Participants should have a basic understanding of airport operations, ground handling procedures, and possess English language skills at ICAO Level 4 or higher.
The course aligns with international standards and is compliant with relevant aviation regulations. It is approved by the appropriate aviation authorities, ensuring adherence to industry best practices.
