JET BLAST CHALLENGES § DO NOT WALK BEHIND aircraft with beacon flashing § AIRCRAFT SAFETY ZONES – Between 13 and 16 feet forward of engine inlet – Up to 100 feet to the rear of the aircraft – Powerful suction could pull people into inlet killing them instantly – Jet blast can exceed 300 mph
RAMP HAZARDS § Jet engine intakes § Aircraft wings § Tie down cables § Poor lighting § Water / Oil § Ice § Tugs/Trucks NEVER WALK UNDER AIRCRAFT!

COMMON COURTESY Do not go on board aircraft unless invited to do so
WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS § Thunder and lightning: if the sound of thunder is less than 25 seconds after the lightning flash, go inside immediately. § Formula for estimating the proximity of an approaching thunderstorm: five (5) seconds of elapsed time between the lightning flash and the sound of thunder = one (1) mile.
WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS § Wind, Fog, Snow § Extreme heat or cold.
