Aero Specialties Submitted 2018-12-30 05:37:33 Every year Womens Darwin Thompson Jersey , the airlines lose billions of dollars to accidents and other damage incidents. Beyond the financial risk and loss, accidents and damage incidents are responsible for a number of collateral and peripheral consequences. Those consequences range from passenger inconvenience and loss of business to, far worse Womens Khalen Saunders Jersey , injury or death.
Unfortunately, as airsides at airports and aerodromes are generally busy, borderline chaotic places Womens Juan Thornhill Jersey , with ground support equipment (GSE) like aircraft pushback tractors and baggage carts bustling past massive airliners, accidents and damage incidents can have a lot of sources. That also leaves airport management, contractors Womens Mecole Hardman Jersey , and third parties vulnerable to liability costs. The good news is: most of those can be mitigated or avoided altogether.
Ramp Damage: Towing and Collision Incidents
According to the research, the total cost of ramp damage alone to the airlines is around $10 billion every year. The average cost of each accident was $250,000. It鈥檚 a mind-boggling sum with a variety of causes. Most of those involve the interaction of GSE and aircraft. Examples include belt and cargo loaders and other services carts and vehicles colliding with aircraft Womens Spencer Ware Jersey , 鈥渞amp rash鈥?incidents with composite-skinned aircraft that look minor but have done below-the-surface damage, and towing damage from an aircraft tug or pushback.
Incorporating new technology is also key. Telematic fleet tracking and coordination can make ground crew GSE operation both safer and more efficient. Likewise Womens Justin Houston Jersey , equipping aircraft tugs and tow tractors with a force monitoring system, like SiPsHitch from AERO Specialties, is hugely effective at decreasing or eliminating towing-related damage to aircraft. The SiPsHitch Linear Force Monitoring can be included with models of GSE Womens Eric Berry Jersey , like the TLD TMX-TTV Aircraft Towing Tractor Package.
FOD and Bird Damage
Sometimes it鈥檚 the smallest things that cost the most, like birds and little pieces of metal. Foreign object damage (FOD) costs the top 300 airports in the U.S. alone $1.1 billion annually. While virtually all aerodromes have FOD-removal vehicles equipped with towable or suspension magnets to sweep the grounds, many have yet to advance beyond that basic approach. FOD detection and removal solutions have advanced considerably recently. There are now radar-based FOD-detection vehicles that can scan any airfield within designated boundaries that yield much more comprehensive FOD removal.
The cost of damage and delays caused by bird strikes is even great than that of FOD Womens Tyrann Mathieu Jersey , at $1.2 billion. While the aviation industry is incorporating and investigating a variety of technological solutions to the problem of bird strikes, it can be one of the most difficult to mitigate. For the time being, among the best options seem to be delaying takeoff or landing (fuel permitting). Flight staff should also be trained on avoiding bird strikes and kept informed of local bird activity around the airport and flight path as to switch to bird-free runways if possible. Last Womens Patrick Mahomes Jersey , it鈥檚 imperative to remain extremely vigilant for bird activity on final approaches.
