SYSTEM OF PROCEDURE FOR BOARDING

AND DISEMBARKING PASSENGERS IN

AIRCRAFT PARKING AIRPORT TERMINAL

Alfredo Navarro Ibarra 2015©

For over 45 years of professional experience, I have been travelingbecause of work and tourism, visiting or using more than 30 airportsin Spain and 25 in different countries, mainly in Europe.

In one of my trips to Dublin in July 2008, and just doing my favorite

pastime during this waiting time that I mentioned before, led to the

realization of this project and its publication

The long stays and waits at the premises of the different airport

terminals allow you to observe the various aspects of the aircraft

operations and passenger traffic in its continuous flow through

halls, corridors, waiting rooms and recreation areas.

Q & A

Overview:

A new system and concept of facilities for the piers of aircrafts and passenger control rooms in airport terminals.

The maneuver of aircrafts in parking platforms is optimized as well as a better and safe flow in passenger and aircraft movements.

The potential extension of parking and loading areas near existing terminals is achieved regardless of distance or annexation to existing buildings, without changing their existing external architectural appearance and design.

CURRENT

OPERATIONAL

PROCEDURES

• The aircraft is approaching the piers and is stationed very close tothe passenger control building, safely accessible by movingwalkways.

• The ground handling personnel moves through the platform and thesupport vehicles move freely in the designated areas.

• Passenger access is made only by the front door of the aircraft.

• In some terminals, the access is located on a lower floor, so passengers have to descend stairs to access the aircraft.

• The aircraft, once served, is moved by the tractor and operated by theplatform back to the assigned safe area where starts moving to thetaxiways.

AIRPORT TERMINAL

• As in the previous case, the aircraft is approaching the pier and isstationed very close to the building of passenger control.

• Passengers walk to the platform, suffering the possible adverse weather, carrying their luggage, baby strollers and in many cases having to walkdown the stairs from the building and avoiding ground support vehicles at risk of accidents and slips by the passengers or the ground handling staff.

• The aircraft access is via its own staircase , located on the front door and in some cases by auxiliary step through the back door.

• The aircraft, also once served, is moved by the tractor and operated bythe platform back to the assigned safe area where starts moving to thetaxiways.

AIRPORT TERMINAL

• Here the aircraft parking takes place in remote areas of theterminal building.

• The ground handling staff and crews must travel in vehicles.

• Passengers also have to be moved by shuttle buses, carryingtheir luggage, suffering the possible adverse weather and accessing the aircraft its own stair, located on the front doorand in some cases by auxiliary stair through the back door.

REMOTE PLATFORM

• Regarding the movement of the aircraft, in the first two cases, the aircraft is always maneuvered by tractor equipment until this is in the area allocated to proceed with the taxing to the runways.

• With respect to the movement of passengers boarding and disembarking, just in the first case is done safely.

• In the second and third cases passengers, have access throughplatform areas, leading in some cases dawdle on the areas whereyou should move, suffering possible adverse weather, disturbanceto travel with the hand luggage, unsafe access to the aircraft bystairs, etc.

Procedures Summary

the idea ¡¡

• With the following system and procedure, we optimize themaneuvers of the aircraft on the apron and also ensuring thatpassengers are boarding and disembarking easily and safely.

• Facing a possible extension or need to incorporate into a mid-sizeairport a greater number of gates:

• It would not be necessary to carry out a large infrastructureattached to the existing terminal

• The airport can develop a normal activity because its operationwould not be altered during the development of the necessarywork to make this extension.

The boarding lounges will have different

and aircraft access to the aircraft via

walkways and finger on the surface.

The system will consist of different passenger boardinglounges, corridors or underground tunnels for passengertraffic, aircraft piers areas and the handling services forpassengers and aircraft on the surface.

The facilities subject of this extension system would be

located in the basement of the aircraft parking apron,

or in any other area close to the terminal and with

access by the aircraft from the taxiways.

The aircraft will be previously on the assigned piers by accessing them through the taxiways. Once it is ready for the departure, the aircraft will move on the same direction left on arrival without needing any additional tractor for the maneuvers, saving this time and cost of manual maneuverability

An underground corridor provides

access to the boarding lounges, where

the passage is controlled through the

bypass ramp zone that will access the

autowalks, which connects outside with

the rotary platform, where the gateway

is connected to the PBB for aircraft

In the procedures for disembarking, we leave the aircraftdirectly through the PBB to the rotary platform, and godown the autowalk ramp (auto-reversible) where the areathrough "bypass“ will go to the Terminal communicatedthrough an underground passageway.

In bypass areas, the regulation of passengers while boarding and disembarking will be done through automatic doors.

The lounges provide adequate means for

proper waiting room for passengers.

The exterior rotary platform, links the autowalks ramp to the PBB, allowing its maneuverability in every moment during the docking of the aircraft

Outside access for boarding is done through auto-reversible autowalkramps and passengers will descend in the disembarking operations

The aircraft may have the ground equipment (UPS 400Hz, AA.AA., etc.) outside under the rotary platform and autowalk ramp.

For the transport of baggage from the terminal to the aircraft parking area, the service passageway could be used, wich is located between the entrance and exit corridors.

This system would allow the extension of aircraftoperations and passenger traffic at any airportregardless of its location and external architecturalappearance.
