9 PREFACE AUTHORITY The Manual for Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is published under authority contained in Sections 632(b) and 633(a) and (b) of the Los Angeles City Charter, which empowers Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) to make rules and regulations governing the use and control of City airports, subject to the powers of the United States respecting commerce. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 139 and Transportation Security Regulation (TSR) Part 1540 and 1542, which requires Airport management to establish operational and safety procedures and institute certain security measures to meet FAA and TSA requirements for airport certification. PURPOSE The primary purpose of this manual is to provide airport users with a single document representing a compendium of rules, regulations, procedures, and general information governing their activities at LAX. The objective of the manual is to promote the safe and efficient use of LAX facilities. CONTENTS The regulatory provisions of this manual are established by City ordinances and municipal codes, resolutions adopted by the Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC), directives issued by Airport management, and provisions of FAR Part 139 and TSR Part Selected maps and other documents are included as necessary to accomplish the purpose of the manual. COMPLIANCE The importance of compliance with all Airport rules and regulations cannot be emphasized too strongly. City ordinance provides that any person violating or failing to comply with regulations established by the BOAC for control of the conduct of persons and ground operations on, and air traffic on and over the Airport, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $500.00, or by imprisonment in the City jail for such a period of not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. ENFORCEMENT The Deputy Executive Director, Operations and Emergency Management is assigned the overall responsibility of enforcing compliance with Airport. On a day to day basis this responsibility and commensurate authority is exercised by LAX Airport Operations and Airport Police Divisions. Under certain circumstances, assistance from the LAPD or other law enforcement agencies may be requested. Successful enforcement, however, depends to a great extent on the full and active cooperation of all Airport user supervisors and employees. This requires a thorough Section 1-1 September 2010

10 knowledge and understanding, through training programs, of applicable Airport Rules and Regulations on a continuing basis. DEVIATIONS The Executive Director or his/her designee may authorize, in writing, deviations from Airport when in their judgment, action is necessary to maintain established standards of operational safety and airport security, or in contingency situations affecting life and/or property in areas under the jurisdiction of LAX. Section 1-2 September 2010

85 LAX TERMINAL-CARGO OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT POLICY Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), LAX Airport Operations Division is responsible for the operational management of the Tom Bradley International Terminal, Terminal Three, Terminal Six, LAX cargo aircraft parking spots, the West gates, and Airfield Bus operations. LAX Controlled Gate Management Policy The goal of the Operational Management Policy is to achieve equitable treatment for all airlines. Airlines are urged to provide the most accurate information and schedules possible. Accurate information is the most important factor in making equitable gate assignments. The LAX Airport Operations Center maintains and assigns common-use hold-rooms and aircraft gates at the Tom Bradley International Terminal, Terminal Three and Terminal Six passenger. This section sets forth the basic gate management policy; Inquiries regarding this policy should be directed to the LAX Airport Response Coordination Center (ARCC) at (310) The LAX Airport Operations Center Terminal Gate Management Policy 1. Tom Bradley International Terminal Gate Planning The goal of the LAX Gate Management Policy at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) and the West Gates is to facilitate the optimum use of the resources of the common use aircraft gates. The policy is based on best use of available aircraft parking positions. Aircraft parking will be assigned based on the following criteria: Aircraft parking priorities: a. Through and turn-around flights with a scheduled ground time of three hours or less for wide body aircraft and one and a half hours for narrow-body aircraft (B757) and smaller. b. Departure flights with an allotted ground time of one and a half hours for widebodies and forty-five minutes for narrow-body aircraft (B757) and smaller. c. Arrival flights with an allotted ground time of one and a half hours for widebodies and forty-five minutes for narrow-body aircraft (B757) and smaller. Section 9-1 September 2010

86 d. Flights exceeding the above standards of ground time may be required to tow off Terminal Gates depending on operational necessity. All carriers operating at the Tom Bradley International Terminal Facilities including the West Gates are required to submit their advance seasonal schedules to the LAX Airport Operations Center. The deadline for schedule submittal is twenty-seven days prior to the commencement date of the semi-annual International Air Transport (IATA) Schedules Conference. 2. West Gate Planning When a Terminal Gate is not available or upon request, West Gate parking slots will be assigned by the following priority: a. Scheduled arriving/departing flights TBIT tenants. b. Scheduled arriving/departing flights to, or from Terminal 1, Terminal 3 and Terminal 6 tenants. c. Scheduled arriving/departing flights of any airline displaced from a terminal gate as a result of an emergency or LAWA maintenance or construction activity. d. Scheduled arriving/departing flights of other airlines. e. U.S. Government flight operations f. Cargo Flights g. Aircraft parking only. Procedures for Aircraft Parking Only a. Any parking requests will be granted on a space available basis. b. Aircraft will not be allowed to park on LAX public parking spots for longer than the scheduled parking time assigned, and in no event longer than 24 hrs, or for the expressed reason of staging aircraft without prior approval of the LAX ARCC (310) c. In the event a carrier requests additional time at the gate, this must be approved by the LAX ARCC. Failure to vacate the gate at the scheduled time may result in suspension or revocation of parking privileges. d. A 24-hour contact number must be provided for emergency purposes. Section 9-2 September 2010

87 . e. When instructed by the Executive director (or his/her designee), the operator of any aircraft parked or stored at the Airport shall move said aircraft from the place where it is parked or stored. If the operator refuses to comply with such instructions, the Executive Director (or his/her designee) may order such aircraft moved at the expense of the owner or operator, and without liability for damage, which may result in the course of such moving. This policy is not intended to overrule the cargo aircraft parking procedures. 3. Tom Bradley International Terminal Daily Operations Daily gate scheduling is the process of assigning flights to gates. Aircraft are assigned a gate per the best use policy. a. Aircraft are to have a minimum of 10 minutes scheduled separation interval between flights on a gate. In actual day-to-day operations, however, gates may be assigned for use as soon as they become available, particularly during peak periods. b. Additional gate management considerations for aircraft parking assignments for daily operations include: i. Passenger counts, minimizing the number of passengers requiring transportation to or from a West Gate. ii. Impact on Airfield Bus Operations. iii. Number of passengers with restricted mobility requiring special transportation facilities (ADA vehicles). iv. Air carrier recent performance of on time aircraft departures. v. Peak times causing increased airfield traffic and alley way congestions. c. For new flights, all factors being equal, tenants will have preference for gates over non-tenants. Tenants are defined as carriers based solely at TBIT and that rely on TBIT for their entire operation. d. All aircraft operations must be reported to the LAX ARCC at (310) The LAX ARCC personnel will strive to maximize the efficient use of gate slots. In dayto-day operations their decisions are final. Any concerns or questions shall be directed by the airline Station Manager to the Duty Manager, (or Chief of Operations) at the ARCC (310) Section 9-3 September 2010

FIS requests for specific carousel assignments for high risk flights that involve special enforcement needs. b. Specific carousel assignments may be made on request by the airline representatives, if arriving passenger volume can accommodate the request. c. During peak periods, aircraft block times at the TBIT gates or bus arrival time at the bus gates will be used to determine the order in which the carousels are assigned. Carousels will be assigned on a first-come, firstserve basis and will be assigned after the arrival of the flight at the gate. d. If there are enough carousels available, flights with larger passenger loads may be assigned two adjacent carousels. e. During peak periods that result in a shortage of carousels more than one flight with smaller passenger loads may be combined together on one carousel. f. During peak periods, arriving flights will be assigned carousels based on their block time, with consideration given to passenger loads. Airlines will be allowed one hour to use a carousel for their passengers. The one-hour Section 9-24 September 2010

109 will begin once the passengers arrive in the Immigrations and Naturalization Service (INS) processing area. i.

121 AIRPORT SIGN POLICY This section provides a brief overview of the Los Angeles International Airport Sign Policy for tenant signage in the Central Terminal Area. For a full version of the LAX Tenant Sign Standards, visit the Airports and Facilities Planning listing in the LAX web site ( These guidelines are intended to provide tenant signage criteria for the existing and the new or remodeled terminal facilities being proposed and constructed at LAX. This policy is meant to provide the minimum limitations on signage in these areas. It is understood that any signs not having the approval of Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) in writing shall not be installed and any existing signs not having approval of LAWA shall be removed; and the request for approval shall be submitted in accordance with Paragraph 5 of this policy. If any existing sign exceeds the limitations stated in this policy, but has previously been approved by LAWA, that sign shall be allowed to remain as is. However, if there is to be a change or relocation in any way involving approved signs, LAWA shall require these signs to be changed to conform to the limitations of this policy. The purpose of this sign code is to provide an effective signing program to aid the public using airport facilities and, at the same time, limit the advertising nature of such signing. In short, the acceptable criteria for a sign are one that meets the immediate needs of the airport user. Signs of an advertising nature will not be allowed. In practice, regardless of the many guidelines, unauthorized signs always pose problems. LAWA will, periodically, review the leaseholds for signage compliance. By referring to this policy for the proper procedures and limitations, unnecessary expenditures and inconveniences can be alleviated. 1. General Rules and Definitions a. All signs shall be of an informative nature designed to meet the immediate needs of the traveling public.

134 LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS SC1 ELIMINATION OF NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGES TO STORM DRAINS PURPOSE: TARGETED ACTIVITIES Existing discharges: Eliminate non-storm water discharges to the storm water collection system. Non-storm water discharges can be classified as follows: 1) Activity-based (subtle), and 2) Overt (hard pipe connection). Activity-based nonstorm water discharges may include: wash water, deicing fluids, and spillage. Overt non-storm water discharges may include: process wastewater, treated cooling water, and sanitary wastewater. Prevention of illicit connections: Prevent improper physical connections to the storm drain system from sanitary sewers, floor drains, industrial process discharge lines, and wash racks through education, developing project approval conditions, and performing both construction phase and post-construction inspections. GENERAL APPROACH: Identification of Activity-Based (Subtle) Discharges: The following techniques may be used to identify activity-based non-storm water discharges to the storm water collection system: Perform frequent activity inspections to identify non-storm water discharges - stagger inspection times to cover all work periods. Perform visual inspections of discharge points to the storm drain system - observe uncharacteristic volumes, colors, turbidity, odors, deposition, staining, floatables, and foaming characteristics of any flow. APPROACH TO FUTURE FACILITIES AND UPGRADES: Design of New Facilities and Existing Facility Upgrades Perform inspections during the design review and project construction phases to ensure drainage, wastewater, and water supply connections are correct (no cross connections or illicit hookups). Develop a set of as-built prints for all projects. Keep a set of the prints at the facility. Design projects to include adequate waste repositories at locations near waste origin points. Provide adequate and appropriately designed facilities for functions such as steam cleaning, degreasing, painting, mechanical maintenance, chemical/fuel storage and delivery, material handling, waste handling and storage, lavatory service, and food preparation.

APPROACH TO FUTURE FACILITIES AND UPGRADES: Design of New Facilities and Existing Facility Upgrades Design fueling areas to prevent the run-on of storm water and the runoff of spills by employing the following approaches: - Cover the fueling area if possible. - Use a perimeter drain or slope the fueling area to a dead-end sump or oil/water separator. - Pave the fueling area with concrete rather than asphalt. If storm water runoff from fueling areas is not collected, install an appropriately sized oil/water separator. Regulatory agency approvals are required. Install and maintain vapor recovery systems where required and/or appropriate. Existing underground fuel storage tanks should be upgraded with leak detection, spill containment, and overfill protection in advance of December 22, 1998, the federal regulatory deadline. This is relevant to storm water regulations due to the potential for contamination of surface soils or waters that could be transported by storm water runoff. Design facilities to include secondary containment where required and/or appropriate. APPROACH TO EXISTING FACILITY ACTIVITIES: Operational Considerations Implement the following to the maximum extent practicable. Good Housekeeping Fuel pumps intended for vehicular use (not aircraft) should be posted with signs stating "No Topping Off" to prevent overflow. Use absorbent materials and spot cleaning for small spills; do not hose down the area unless the storm drain is blocked and drainage is collected by vacuum truck and disposed of through a permitted connection to the sanitary sewer. Properly dispose of any fuel spills and leaks. Vacuum equipment/trucks are recommended for collection. Always dispose of materials in an approved manner; use an approved treatment facility through a permitted connection. Never discharge materials to a catch basin or storm drain. TARGETED ACTIVITIES Aircraft Fueling Vehicle Fueling Equipment Fueling TARGETED POLLUTANTS Fuel KEY APPROACHES Install berms or curbing around fueling areas Use absorbent materials and/or vacuum equipment for spills Install proper equipment for fuel dispensing and tank monitoring to prevent spills, leaks and overflows Los Angeles World Airports Environmental Services Division SC3-1

158 LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS SC11 LAVATORY SERVICE OPERATIONS PURPOSE: Eliminate discharges to the storm drain system associated with ground servicing of aircraft lavatory facilities. The sanitary sewage and associated rinse waters produced during the servicing of aircraft lavatory facilities must be discharged to a wastewater treatment facility under appropriate permitting. Trucks or trailers equipped with bulk storage tanks are typically used to service lavatory facilities. Non-storm water discharges and residuals associated with servicing these facilities can be classified as follows: Discharges and residuals associated with diluting and mixing the surfactants and disinfectants used for servicing lavatory facilities. Discharges and residuals associated with transferring materials from the aircraft. Discharges and residuals associated with transporting and disposing materials to the sanitary sewer system. APPROACH TO FUTURE FACILITIES AND UPGRADES: Design of New Facilities and Existing Facility Upgrades If possible, design triturator facilities to be covered, with low roll-over type berming. Include a source of water at the triturator for clean up of lavatory service equipment. Coordinate permitting of the triturator sanitary sewer connection through the local storm water and sanitary sewering agencies. Triturator facilities should not be located near storm drains. APPROACH TO EXISTING FACILITY ACTIVITIES: Operational Considerations Do not discharge lavatory waste to sanitary sewer connections other than triturator facilities. Other industrial-type connections may be equipped with bypass gates which, if improperly maintained or defective, may discharge to the storm water collection system. Drain the aircraft connecting hose as completely as possible into the storage tank after servicing an aircraft. Properly secure all hoses, valves, and equipment when transporting waste to eliminate leakage and spills. Use only surfactants and disinfectants approved for discharge to the sanitary sewer system. Do not discharge or rinse other unapproved chemicals or materials into the triturator facility. Any change in the chemicals used in aircraft lavatory service operations must be approved by LAWA. TARGETED ACTIVITIES Aircraft Lavatory Service Lavatory Truck Cleanout/ Backflushing TARGETED POLLUTANTS Lavatory Chemicals Lavatory Waste Lavatory Truck Wash Water KEY APPROACHES Do not discharge lavatory waste to sanitary sewer connections other than triturator facilities Utilize buckets or pans to capture drippage from aircraft lavatory access fittings Do not perform lavatory truck cleanout/backflushing at any location other than triturator facilities Carry absorbent and other containment equipment on the lavatory service equipment Los Angeles World Airports Environmental Services Division SC11-1

159 LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS SC11 LAVATORY SERVICE OPERATIONS Operational Considerations (contd) If possible, perform surfactant/disinfectant mixing and transfers in the triturator area or under cover. This will allow the rinsing of minor spills and splashes to enter the sanitary sewer system. Do not perform lavatory truck cleanout/backflushing at any location other than triturator facilities. Utilize buckets or pans to capture drippage from aircraft lavatory access fittings. Immediately dump the drippage into the bulk storage tank on the service cart or truck. Carefully handle chemicals and chemical concentrates. Immediately collect dry chemicals or absorb liquid chemicals for proper disposal. Do not hose down spills unless the discharge enters the sanitary sewer system through a permitted connection (triturator facility). Practice good housekeeping techniques at the triturator facility. Immediately clean spills of wastes and chemicals. Contingency Response Carry absorbent and other containment equipment on the lavatory service equipment. Maintain adequate supplies of spill response equipment and materials in accessible locations near areas where spills may be likely to occur. Inspection and Training Perform regular inspections of the hose and fittings used for transferring lavatory waste. Keep the equipment in good working order. Replace worn equipment before leaks develop. Notify appropriate ground service personnel if it is noticed that the aircraft lavatory fittings require maintenance. Provide the appropriate level of employee training in the following areas: spill response and prevention, storm water pollution prevention education (see SC-10 for storm water pollution education approaches), right-to-know awareness training, and hazardous materials management. REQUIREMENTS: Costs associated with the elimination of discharges resulting from aircraft lavatory servicing are generally low. Most management practices are based on careful material handling, good housekeeping, and awareness of maintenance requirements. LIMITATIONS: Facilities may have a limited number of permitted sanitary sewer access points (triturator facilities) for a large quantity of lavatory service equipment.

160 LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS SC12 OUTDOOR WASHDOWN/SWEEPING PURPOSE: TARGETED ACTIVITIES Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to storm water from outdoor washdown and sweeping operations. APPROACH TO FUTURE FACILITIES AND UPGRADES: Design of New Facilities and Existing Facility Upgrades Consider contracting apron washing/sweeping services. Using appropriate contractors will decrease waste handling responsibilities. Inform contractors of their responsibilities regarding proper disposal of sweeper and scrubber waste. Supply contractors with pertinent BMPs and operating specifications. Follow up with contractor inspections frequently. Incorporate appropriate waste receiving facilities for sweepers and washing equipment. Coordinate sanitary sewer connection permitting through the local sanitary sewering agency. Incorporate oil/water separators or other water quality devices into project designs. Consider incorporating gate valves in areas where apron washing will occur. The gate valves will direct wash water to the sanitary sewer in dry weather and will direct storm water to the storm drain system during wet weather. Mechanical devices should be incorporated to ensure that valves are not left open (to sanitary sewer) during wet weather. Coordinate permitting and connections through the local sanitary sewering agency. Employ berms to minimize run-on to other areas. APPROACH TO EXISTING FACILITY ACTIVITIES: Operational Considerations Collect and discharge wash water to the sanitary sewer system through a permitted connection. Use designated and approved discharge facilities to dispose of waste derived from apron/ramp cleaning. Use "dry" sweeping techniques where feasible. Dispose of sweepings in an appropriate manner. Conduct berm repair and patching. Inspect, clean and maintain sumps and oil/water separators.

168 LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS TC1 OIL/WATER SEPARATORS PURPOSE: Oil/Water separators are baffled chambers designed to remove petroleum compounds and grease from storm water. Oil/water separators also remove floatable debris and settled solids (sediment). APPROACH TO FUTURE FACILITIES AND UPGRADES: Design of New Facilities and Existing Facility Upgrades Oil/water separators are typically used in areas where the concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons, floatables, or sediment may be abnormally high and source control techniques are not very effective. There are two types of oil/water separators: the American Petroleum Institute (API) separator and the coalescing plate separator (CPS). Design, sizing, and placement of oil/water separators is dependent on several factors including: tributary area, type of activity, pollutant type and concentration, and water temperature. General sizing guidelines for API separators include the following: Horizontal velocity: 3 feet per minute. Depth of 3 to 8 feet. Depth-to-width ratio of 0.3 to 0.5. Width of 6 to 16 feet. Baffle height-to-depth ratios of 0.85 for top baffles and 0.15 for bottom baffles. CPS separator sizing is more complex. Sizing calculations require the inclusion of information such as packing plate surface areas and plate angles. CPS separators can, due to their packed plate design, remove the same quantities of oils and greases while occupying less space than API separators. APPROACH TO EXISTING FACILITIES ACTIVITIES: Operational Considerations Separators must be inspected and cleaned frequently for accumulated oil, grease, floating debris and sediments to be effective storm water quality controls. Oil absorbent pads are to be replaced as needed, but will always be replaced prior to the wet season. TARGETED ACTIVITIES Aircraft/Vehicle/ Equipment Maintenance Aircraft/Vehicle/ Equipment Fueling Aircraft/Vehicle/ Equipment Washing Equipment Maintenance/ Degreasing Fuel/Chemical Storage Cargo Handling TARGETED POLLUTANTS Oil and Grease Fuel Floatables Sediment KEY APPROACHES Frequently inspect and clean separators Replace absorbent pads as needed Los Angeles World Airports Environmental Services Division TC- 1

169 LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS TC1 OIL/WATER SEPARATORS Operational Considerations (continued): The effluent valve will be closed during cleaning operations. Any standing water removed during the cleaning operation must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local requirements. Any standing water removed during the cleaning operation must be replaced with clean water to prevent oil carry-over through the outlet. Contingency Response Maintain adequate supplies of spill response equipment and materials in accessible location near areas where spills may be likely to occur. Inspection and Training Provide the appropriate level of employee training in the following areas: spill response and prevention, storm water pollution prevention education (see SC-10 for storm water pollution education approaches), right-to-know awareness training, and hazardous materials management. Perform and document in a log book all inspections and maintenance operations Develop a written operating, sampling and reporting procedure under local storm water authority guidelines. Train appropriate employees to implement these procedures. REQUIREMENTS: Capital and O&M costs should be low. LIMITATIONS: Oil/water separator installations should be designed and installed by experienced individuals. Little data on the characteristics of petroleum hydrocarbons in storm water leads to considerable uncertainty about separator performance.

A SMGCS Plan is necessary for airports where scheduled air carriers conduct takeoff or landing operations in visibility conditions of less than 1,200 feet runway visual range (RVR). 1.3 The procedures contained in this plan were developed by the SMGCS Working Group (WG) which consisted of representatives from airport staff involved with LAX Airfield Operations, LAX Construction & Maintenance Electrical Shop, Los Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles Airport Police, FAA Western- Pacific Airports Regional Office, FAA Western-Pacific Flight Standards, FAA Airways Facilities office, LAX Air Traffic Control Tower, appropriate scheduled airlines, Air Line Pilots Association, cargo/package operators, and other appropriate tenants and aircraft operators. 1.4 This document does not supersede established policies, procedures, rules, or guidelines for airports, aircraft or vehicle operators, or air traffic control. It does prescribe certain airfield lighting and marking improvements and operating procedures that have been designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of aircraft and vehicle movements. 1.5 To enhance the safety of low visibility operations, FAR Part 91 operators should follow the guidance in this plan to the maximum extent possible and expect follow-me assistance to and from the runway environment. 1.6 This plan addresses current procedures to support low visibility takeoff, landing and taxiing operations at the airport. The work of the SMGCS WG will continue after the FAA approves the initial plan. The SMGCS WG will meet as necessary, but not less than once per year to asses low visibility operations, and to modify the plan with future enhancements as necessary. LAX-SMGCS 02/06/07 3

203 Escort Procedures for Working In and Around Aircraft Movement Areas at LAX: Aircraft Movement Areas consist of Runways, Taxiways, Taxilanes and other areas of the Airport which are used for taxing, hover taxing, takeoff and landing of aircraft, including the surrounding safety areas. Terminal alleyways are not considered part of this program. LAX C&M will complete a Maintenance Briefing Form and submit to the ARCC Duty Managers. This report will be used to schedule the escorts. If it is determined insufficient escorts will be available, the ARCC will advise C&M immediately to determine solutions to the escort needs. All personnel under escort shall comply with the directions of Airport Operations. At no time should any vehicle or personnel enter an Aircraft Movement Area unless escorted or approved by Airport Operations. ESCORT PROCEDURES: 1. Construction and Maintenance (C&M) will complete the Maintenance Briefing Form and submit to the ARCC Duty Managers and Construction Desk not later than 1200 on the Thursday before the week of the report. Information included in the form should include, but is not limited to the following: work locations, day of work, amount/type of equipment to be used, length of project, number of maintenance staff in work crews, start time, etc. With rare exceptions, the ARCC will not provide escort for any work not discussed at the weekly planning meeting. 2. C&M will advise the ARCC of any changes to planned work when those changes become known. 3. The Construction Desk will advise ATC of upcoming work areas and duration, by NOTAM, if appropriate. For work not requiring a NOTAM, Airport Operations staff will advise ATC before each escort. Airport Operations will notify ARFF and Airport Police of all work that my impact routes used by emergency response equipment. 4. Dependent on the work site and other conditions known by the Duty Superintendent, a safety briefing may be conducted by Airport Operations escort personnel and the maintenance staff before each escort. Items covered will include: communications procedures; escort route; requirements for barricades; emergency procedures injuries on job-site and notifications to emergency response personnel, aircraft emergencies that may impact work-site; and other safety topics deemed appropriate by Airport Operations or Maintenance. 5. C&M crews will meet with Airport Operations personnel at designated areas and times. Ingress and egress routes to work sights will be determined by Airport Operations. Appendix 08 February 2010

204 6. At the discretion of Airport Operations staff, maintenance crews may be escorted to a work site and then remain at that work site without Airport Operations escort. Maintenance crews may leave the work site at the completion of the project only if such arrangements have been approved in advance by Operations. Escort briefings should include Maintenance s need to be in and out of a work site multiple times. 7. Airport Operations will normally conduct an inspection of a work site before releasing work crews to determine if the area is safe for aircraft operations. Inspections will include those items normally checked by Airport Operations during routine airfield inspections markings, lighting, FOD, etc. 8. In the event of an emergency, Airport Operations will advise Maintenance if it is necessary to evacuate the work area. If the maintenance activity precludes an immediate evacuation of equipment from the work site, this information shall be briefed before the work begins. 9. Airport Operations will make the final decision regarding the maximum number of simultaneous work sites that require an escort (normally based on staff availability to provide escort). 10. LAX C&M staff is allowed to work in the areas painted green around taxiway intersections without Operations escort. It is assumed those areas painted green include those areas that would be painted green, but may be the natural pavement color. An example of this type work is to repair elevated taxiway edge lights.
