Issue 1.0

Embarkation is normally achieved through one door of the gondola to simplify counting of passengers.
Once  all  passengers  are  embarked  the  doors  must  be  closed  and  observe  the  ‘closed’  light  on  the
control panel.

NOTE:  The  operator  must  be  familiar  with  the  two-way  radios,  which  are  used  for  communication
between the on board and ground controllers.
