Use this aviation ramp compliance checklist to audit aircraft pushback and towing operations. It guides ground teams through pre-departure servicing checks, placement of fire protection devices, establishing interphone communication with flight crew, clearing FOD and confirming stand surface conditions, and ensuring ground support equipment is outside the equipment restraint area and jet bridge is retracted. It covers air start unit setup, wing walker presence, engine intake and blast area clearance, and bypass pin or steering disconnect requirements. The checklist verifies personnel remain clear of danger zones, a qualified brake operator is in the cockpit for towing, and the correct sequence for removing wheel chocks. It includes checks for tractor and shear pin suitability, power push securement, and closing actions like indicating completion to the flight deck, adding comments, signatures, and forwarding the report to station management and the responsible operator.
