Safe Maintenance of Airfield Electrical Systems for Small Airports

Many of the country’s smallest airports may not have qualified onsite management or staff familiar with operational needs and risks to safely manage an airfield electrical system, and there is a lack of cost-effective training on basic airfield electrical system maintenance available for small airports.

ACRP WebResource 20: Safe Maintenance of Airfield Electrical Systems for Small Airports, from TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides guidelines and tools to help small airports recognize hazards and mitigate risk, job aids to ensure individuals are better equipped to perform assigned tasks, a list of recommended airfield electrical training resources, and steps to identify qualified local or regional contractors.
