Airside Safety: Aprons, Aircraft and FOD
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not AVSEC training and is not recognised by any aviation security authority.
It is 22:10 on the apron at Lakeside Airport. It is raining. You guard a parked aircraft at stand 14. At the next stand, a red light starts to flash on top of an aircraft. Near your foot, a metal bolt lies on the wet ground.
Focus: airside is a dangerous workplace. Aircraft cannot stop or turn for you. Stay in your safe place, make sure drivers and pilots can see you, pick up loose objects and report hazards.
