AIRFIELD MARKING TRAINING
Needless to say, the safety and efficiency of airfield operations at any airport is very important. The airfield marking system is a fundamental component of operational safety at every airport providing a critical function: to convey accurate information to pilots and drivers to safely navigate the airfield. The overall performance of the pavement markings determines the quality of information being received.
Therefore, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifies the following in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5340-1M, Standards for Airfield Markings:
Paragraph 1.3.8. Personnel involved in the application of airfield surface markings should complete training which includes surface preparation, removal and application of surface markings, and maintenance standards.
When you complete Airfield Marking Training, you can maximize the efficiency of your program and improve overall performance, FAA compliance, and airfield safety. This training program is currently in the approval process for American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accreditation under ASTM E2659-17 Standard Practice for Certificate Programs. More Details
How You Benefit
Best Practices
Each member of your team will learn the best practices from the Sightline Airfield Marking Handbook and review pertinent guidance literature to perform their functions more effectively.
Hands-On Training
Your team practices what they learn using hands-on training with their own equipment on their own airfield. Whether they have 25 days of experience, or 25 years of tenure, they will appreciate an investment in their training. You will appreciate the labor and money you'll save by your well-trained crew getting it right the first time.
Team Building
When is the last time you had multiple departments come together for training? By creating a positive atmosphere and a level playing field, Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, etc., will gain insight, respect, and appreciation for other's functions and relationships will flourish.
Enhanced Safety
Once trained, your highly effective team will be armed with the right tools and the best practices. Maintaining markings the right way improves efficiency, reduces operational costs, and enhances safety.
