Nice, France Bulletin Type Start End No Bulletins Country Bulletins France Bulletin Type Start End CAA/Governme nt Closure Feb 25 2013 Safety Notice DGAC N 2013/01: This safety notice is widely circulated document issued by DGAC. It is not a compulsory document. Its goal is to draw the attention of specific are transport operators on an identified risk. This safety notice is to be found on: <http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/infosecurite-dgac.html> For the attention of: Airports - Ground Handling companies - Airlines Subject: Anti-collision lights switched on during ground handling operations Reducing the risks for ground handling staff in the case of unexpected engine ignition Context: We have been made aware of several cases of anti-collision lights being switched on - action meant to warn of pending pushback or engine ignition - while ground handling staff were still around the aircraft or in the aircraft safety zone. In some cases ground handling staff even reported actual ignition of the engines. These handling incidents expose ground staff to physical threats, such as blasted-related risks. One of these incidents led to an agent being seriously injured. More frequently, such incidents cause handling issues for the airlines leading to a flight delays or cancellations. Ground Handling Manuals clearly state that crews must obtain the permission of ground handling staff before taking such an action. This can be the results of either crew forgetting to communicate or ground handling staff failing to thoroughly check that the aircraft surroundings have been properly cleared before giving his consent. DGAC therefore recommends: -that the ground agents in charge of communicating with the crew make sure the aircraft surroundings are actually cleared before they give the all-clear signal for engine start or pushback, and that they subsequently advise ground staff that the signal was made. -that the crews make sure of ground staff s agreement, in compliance with t he airlines procedures, and that they keep an eye - as much as the cockpit configuration allows them to collision lights being switched on. Should beacons be switched on prior to agreement with ground staff, DGAC recommends all ground staff to clear the aircraft area immediately and to warn the crew using the proper signals. DGAC recommends that ground handling companies circulate this procedure and make sure it is enforced in their organization. We request that DGAC and airlines are notified of such incidents occurring.
