Monitor aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance operations

URN: PPLAOG56
Business Sectors (Suites): Aviation Operations on the Ground
Developed by: People 1st
Approved on: 2021

Overview

This standard is about monitoring aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance operations. This involves conducting inspections to establish aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance requirements. This also involves initiating the required maintenance and directing, controlling and monitoring operations to confirm the work is undertaken according to organisational and airport/airfield procedures and the relevant legal requirements. You must know how the aeronautical ground lighting systems function, their operational performance requirements, and the necessary actions required to maintain organisational and airport/airfield performance standards and meet relevant legal requirements.
This standard is for those working in airports/airfields whose role involves monitoring aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance operations.
When you have completed this standard, you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge of and ability to: 
• Monitor aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance operations

Performance criteria

You must be able to:

1. Conduct inspections of aeronautical ground lighting systems according to your organisation's and the airport/airfield's procedures and relevant legal requirements 2. Take the required action when aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability or operational performance do not meet organisational and airport/airfield performance standards or relevant legal requirements 3. Isolate and test aeronautical ground lighting systems in line with organisational and airport/airfield procedures and relevant legal requirements 4. Maintain your own, colleagues’, passengers’, and visitors’ health, safety and welfare when conducting aeronautical ground lighting systems inspections and tests 5. Identify and establish aeronautical ground lighting systems maintenance requirements 6. Initiate aeronautical ground lighting systems maintenance operations in response to established schedules or urgent requests 7. Direct and control aeronautical ground lighting systems maintenance operations in line with organisational and airport/airfield procedures and relevant legal requirements 8. Monitor aeronautical ground lighting systems maintenance operations to confirm they are carried out according to organisational and airport/airfield procedures and relevant legal requirements at all times 9. Respond to identified  aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance operational issues in line with organisational and airport/airfield procedures 10. Record and disseminate aeronautical ground lighting systems serviceability and maintenance documentation according to your organisation's and the airport/airfield's procedures and relevant legal requirements
