1. The document provides an overview of airside operations at airports, including the organization, key functions, objectives, and activities related to ensuring safety and efficiency. 2. Maintaining safety on airport runways and aprons through inspection, permitting, incident investigation, and coordination with airport stakeholders are some of the main responsibilities of airside operations. 3. Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) are used to communicate essential information about airport conditions or temporary changes and are issued according to standard formats and procedures.

5. AIRSIDE OPERATIONS OBJECTIVES/ FUNCTIONS Maintain a high level of airfield and apron safety as per I.C.A.O standards Establish policies and procedures for safe airfield operations. Promotion of safety awareness through training, licensing and Safety Campaign. Enforce ramp safety policies and procedures. Develop and implement the ground incident and accident reporting and investigation system.

6. AIRSIDE OPERATIONS OBJECTIVES/ FUNCTIONS Carry out audits of airside operators. Identify potential incident and accident conditions, evaluate and implement preventive measure. Dissemination of ramp incidents and accidents information. Coordinating airside Operations during emergencies.

7. AIRSIDE OPERATIONS KEY ACTIVITIES 1. Inspecting Movement area Issuance of Airside Permit (Driving, PLB & Vehicle Permit) 3. Ground Incidents and accidents investigation 4. Safety escort or follow -me service 5. Enforcement checks 6. Work in progress Coordination (WIP) 7. Initiation of NOTAM

8. AIRSIDE OPERATIONS KEY ACTIVITIES 8. Co-ordinations & Meetings with Airlines, Government Agencies etc. 9. Wildlife Hazard Study

9. 1. INSPECTING MOVEMENT AREA Inspection Program Objectives Accident/ Incident reduction Meaningful reporting system Prompt corrective action

10. 1. INSPECTING MOVEMENT AREA Accident/ Incident reduction Foreign Object Hazard Obstruction & Construction Wild Life Hazard Aerodrome facilities serviceability

11. 1. INSPECTING MOVEMENT AREA Foreign Object Damage (F.O.D) FOD : any object that is found in the maneuvering area that can endanger aircraft (Metal, Paper, Plastic Sheets, Boxes, Parts, Tools etc.) Engine Ingestion on aircraft Velocity impact of debris launched by jet blast into other aircraft, personnel,(Ramp/ Passengers) and buildings Can contribute to in-flight engine failures Both Safety and economic issue

12. 1. INSPECTING MOVEMENT AREA FOD prevention in KLIA Apron Sweeping Program Routine airfield inspection Pavement Inspection prior to each aircraft arrival/ departure. Training Maintenance activities Communication/ coordination

13. 1. INSPECTING MOVEMENT AREA Inspection & Reporting System Deficiency Reporting Use of Checklist Paved areas, Markings, Signs, Lighting, Condition’s Written records Action on Priority situations NOTAM emission

14. 1. SAMPLE OF CHECKLIST

15. 1. INSPECTING MOVEMENT AREA Prompt Corrective action correct or advise responsible party - Docket Vehicles/ Equipment removal Area closed or cordoned off

16. 1. SAMPLE OF DOCKET

17. 2. ISSUANCE OF AIRSIDE PERMITS Civil Aviation Act 1969 Airfield Vehicle Permit ( MCAR 105) Airfield Driving Permit (MCAR 106) Temporary Entry Permit (MCAR 105) PLB Operator Permit. Electrical Vehicle/ Buggy Permit

18. 3. GROUND INCIDENT/ ACCIDENTS Determine Facts to establish cause Make recommendations to prevent re-occurrence Take all corrective action

19. 3. GROUND INCIDENT/ ACCIDENTS Ground Accidents/ Incidents Record in KLIA

20. 3. GROUND INCIDENT/ ACCIDENTS 80% of ground accident in KLIA involving collision between vehicles/ equipment or facilities. Apron accidents involving aircraft are frequently caused by equipment used for passenger handling, aircraft loading and servicing i.e. PLB, Loading Bridges, catering trucks, baggage carts)

21. 4. SAFETY ESCORT AND FOLLOW-ME Provide safety escort for VVIP movements - vehicles on the aircraft maneuvering area Provide Follow-Me service to foreign aircraft - on request especially VVIP flights that requires special coordination Filming Safety Escort

22. 5. ENFORCEMENT CHECK Errant drivers or apron users for contravening the Civil Aviation Act Vehicles conditions and validity of the vehicle & driving permits Vandalism

23. 6. CONSTRUCTION SAFETY Requirement for Safety plan (Coordination meeting) Define safety standard and safety specifications Follow-up on safety procedures Monitor day to day practices Discuss specific concern with operator Safe Movement of individual & Vehicles Minimum disruption of activity Clear routes fire station on active area

24. 6. CONSTRUCTION SAFETY NOTAM Initiation, Restriction of aircraft/ vehicle activity Threshold displacement Temporary lighting/ Marking Revise vehicle control procedures Access control equipment, manpower Equipment and material storage Supervision

25. 6. CONSTRUCTION SAFETY Hazardous conditions Excavation near runways, taxiways, apron Construction materials, earth mounds or stockpiles Temporary structures Obstacles in operational areas or approach zones

26. 7. WILDLIFE HAZARD STUDY Bird study Other Mammal

27. 8. RAMP SAFETY COMMITTEE Participants MA(Sepang), DCA, Air Carriers, Ground Services, Fuel Operators, Emergency Services Promote Safety Identify unsafe conditions and practices Develop improvement recommendations Ensure Corrective action Considers complaints

28. 9. NOTAM Notice to Airmen- Shall be originated and issued promptly whenever the information to be disseminated is of a Temporary nature and of short duration Operationally significant permanent changes or temporary changes of long duration are made at short notice.

29. 9. WHEN WE ISSUE NOTAM Establishment, closure or significant changes in operation of aerodrome or runways Establishment, withdrawal or changes in operation of aeronautical services (AGA,AIS, ATS, COM, MET, SAR etc.) Establishment, withdrawal or changes in visual aids Interruption of or return to operation of major components of aerodrome lighting system.

30. 9. WHEN WE ISSUE NOTAM Occurrence or correction of major defect in the maneuvering area. Changes to and limitation on availability of fuel supply. Major changes to rescue facilities and services available. Presence of hazard which affect air navigation (including obstacle, air displays etc.)

31. 9. GENERAL SPECIFICATION OF NOTAM Each NOTAM shall be allocated a serial number. NOTAM shall be as brief as possible. Each NOTAM shall be transmitted as a single telecommunication message. When NOTAM is issued which cancels or supersedes a previous NOTAM, the serial number of the previous NOTAM shall be indicated.

32. 9. GENERAL SPECIFICATION OF NOTAM When error occur in a NOTAM, replacement NOTAM shall be issued. Location indicators included in the text of a NOTAM shall conform to ICAO list.

33. 9. DISTRIBUTION OF NOTAM NOTAM shall be distributed to addressees to whom the information is of direct operational significance by AIS. Except as otherwise provided, each NOTAM shall contain the information in the order of NOTAM format.

34. 9. WHO ISSUES NOTAMS NOTAM office is advised by responsible person from airport Person(s) responsible for inspecting the aerodromes and reporting aerodrome condition change Responsible person must be appropriately trained Fulfill and aerodrome operator’s duty of care and to avoid possible accusation of negligence
