Aircraft Turnaround Inspection Checklist
This aircraft turnaround inspection checklist guides ground handling teams through each phase of a safe and efficient turnaround. It covers pre arrival checks such as FOD checks, staffing, PPE, and equipment readiness, followed by equipment checks and arrival procedures including chocking, cone placement, and visual damage checks. Unloading and loading sections reinforce speed limits on stand, banksman use, safety gaps between equipment and aircraft, correct manual handling, and keeping the clearway free. Pre departure and departure steps include securing clips and nets, walk around inspection, ground power connection and removal, pushback tug and bypass pin, and final FOD checks. Optional airstart procedures ensure correct connection, signaling, and stowing.
