Airport Operations in Conjunction with Construction Work
Aerodrome operations require a high availability of the manoeuvring areas and aprons. At the same time, civil engineering works are required to expand the aerodrome and meet traffic demand, or to maintain the structural soundness of the aerodrome infrastructure.
In most cases, aircraft operations and construction works cannot be dissociated, representing a major challenge for the aerodrome operator and other project stakeholders. To maintain safety in such environment, specific procedures and restrictions may have to be implemented on aircraft operations as well as on the construction site.
Furthermore, additional coordination and planning efforts are required to manage the involved stakeholders efficiently.
This 2-day course provides delegates with an insight into aerodrome development planning processes to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements and to understand and appreciate the necessary control measures which must be followed in order to ensure that an aerodrome remains safe for aircraft movements throughout periods of Work In Progress (WIP) on the airfield. It explores industry good practice, built upon Commission Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 and associated guidance issued by EASA and ICAO.
The course is designed in an interactive form including group exercises and discussions and will enable delegates to safely plan and manage airside Work In Progress (WIP) activities, from small-scale reactive works to large-scale major development projects.
The course is aimed at aerodrome staff involved in any aspects of airport operations. An awareness of airport operations is preferable, however, no previous experience of airside operations is necessary.
