ED Decision 2021/003/R
HANDOVER OF OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES — PERSONNEL BRIEFING
(a) The aerodrome operator procedures for the handover of operational activities should as a minimum:
(1) cover the change of a shift within the same function (e.g. between RFFS personnel), as well as the case where a task is handed over to another person within the same shift, and the cases where an activity is handed over between different functions (e.g. from maintenance to operations);
(2) address the case when a planned activity (e.g. light maintenance) is not completed at the time of a planned shift change; or any other non-regular activity is in place; and
(3) allow for the preparation of both outgoing and incoming personnel.
(b) The briefing should be in a manner that allows effective two-way communication between the outgoing and incoming personnel, during which all task-relevant information necessary for the incoming personnel is provided to them, both verbally and in writing. In the case of posts which are not continually manned, or aerodromes with interrupted working hours, the briefing may be in writing, while ensuring that additional information may be provided to the incoming personnel in case of such need.
(c) The briefing of drivers and other operational personnel operating on the manoeuvring area should, as a minimum, include:
(1) the runway(s) in use;
(2) any significant works areas in place, or being established or removed that day;
(3) conditions of stop bars, if applicable, that may be inoperable making a taxiway unusable for runway entry or crossing; and
(4) if low-visibility procedures are in force.
AMC1 ADR.OPS.B.003(a) details minimum handover procedures, including shift changes, incomplete activities, and two-way briefings, plus specific briefing items for manoeuvring area personnel.
