The motive was to suggest a methodology with some scientific basis for airport operators to estimate and justify manpower requirements.

Practical guidelines on the identification of safety hazards to aerodrome operations and the establishment of corrective and preventive measures and actions to mitigate the safety risks caused by such hazards.

A simple set of guidelines to help airport operators quickly establish a plan to remove disabled aircraft.
