III. Positioning the Passenger and Attendant on Lift
The fore and aft location of the aircraft entrance will determine whether the passenger should be
loaded onto the lift facing towards or away from the aircraft. If the entrance door is forward of
the passenger seating, the passenger should be backed onto the lift facing away from the
aircraft. If the entrance door is aft of the passenger seating, the passenger should be loaded onto
the lift facing towards the aircraft.
SAAB 340, Dash 8, Beech 1900, etc. ATR 42, Jetstream 31, 32, etc.
When the passenger and attendant are positioned properly on the deck with the wheelchair
brakes locked, the deck gate [44] is then closed and relatched. The passenger should keep their
arms on their laps in front of them to avoid interference with the bracing members of the ramps.
The ground ramp remains in the lowered position until the entire loading or unloading process
is complete.
People with crutches or canes can also use the lift. They should stabilize themselves with the
deck handrails while the deck is raised and lowered.
IMPORTANT :
•
Passengers on wheelchairs must be accompanied by an attendant on the lift to stabilize the
wheelchair while the lift is raised and lowered.
•
It is the responsibility of the operator to determine whether other non-wheelchair passengers
require an attendant while on the lift.
