Airside: Critical Airport Area

What is Airside?
• The airside area includes all parts of an airport where
aircraft operations occur, restricted to authorized
personnel only. This includes runways, taxiways, aprons,
ramps, and baggage handling areas.

Why is it important?
• The airside area is essential for safe and efficient aircraft
movements. It’s where most aviation activity and
interactions occur, involving a range of high-risk processes
such as refueling, maintenance, boarding, and cargo
loading.

Airside Inspection and Audit
Procedures
1 Regular Inspections
Routine inspections of the airside infrastructure, including
runways, taxiways, and aprons, help identify and address
any issues.

2 Audits
Comprehensive audits of airside operations, procedures,
and safety measures are conducted periodically to ensure
compliance and identify areas for improvement.

3 Corrective Actions
Any deficiencies or non-conformities identified during
inspections or audits are addressed through appropriate
corrective actions.

Management
Identification
Airside personnel are trained to identify and report any
foreign object debris that could pose a risk to aircraft
operations.

Removal
Designated teams are responsible for the prompt and
thorough removal of any FOD found on the airside.

Disposal
Collected FOD is safely disposed of in accordance with
airport regulations and environmental standards.
FOD Walk
What is a FOD Walk?

An organized inspection and cleanup procedure on the airside areas


of an airport, such as runways, taxiways, and aprons, to remove any
foreign objects that could pose a hazard to aircraft operations.

Purpose of a FOD Walk

• Safety: Prevents objects from damaging aircraft engines, tires, or other


components.

• Operational Efficiency: Minimizes risks of accidents or incidents that


could delay operations.

• Cost Reduction: Avoids costly repairs and potential operational


disruptions caused by FOD-related damage.

Small debris like rocks, bolts, nuts, tools, luggage parts, or trash
that may be left or blown onto the airside.
Airside Incident Reporting and Investigation
Incident Reporting All airside incidents, regardless of their severity, must
be promptly reported to the appropriate authorities.

Investigation Process A comprehensive investigation is conducted to


determine the root causes of any incidents and
implement corrective actions.

Lessons Learned The findings from incident investigations are used to


enhance airside safety procedures and training
programs.
