Ramp Resource Management Training
Regulators including the CAA, EASA and FAA and organisations operating in the ground handling industry are increasingly recognizing the importance of human factors on the ramp. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, “the majority of ramp accidents and incidents involve some type of human error or violation of company policies, processes and procedures.”
A Ramp Resource Management (RRM) training syllabus has been developed by the ECAST Ground Safety Working Group (GSWG) and the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR). The intention of the syllabus is to provide ground service providers and/or airports with recommended content for RRM training. RRM training extends the principles of CRM/TRM training into the ground handling environment.
