This recommended practice describes a two-pole electric connector for use in battery powered ground support equipment i.e. traction batteries. Alternatively, the connector can have two or more auxiliary contacts for auxiliary circuits. A handle may be added as an option to assist in connecting and disconnecting.

The AIR is presented in two parts. The first part is simply a summarization of design factors that must be considered in establishing performance requirements. The second part consists of various tabulated design data and explanatory examples.

This recommended practice describes an industrial battery, lead acid type, for use in electric powered ground support equipment.

This recommended practice describes an industrial battery charger, solid state type, hereafter called charger, for use in charging lead acid batteries in ground support equipment.

This AIR is intended to be concerned with fleet programs rather than programs for individual units. Technical and administrative considerations in developing an approach to a program will be suggested Organization of material possibly wanted in the form of a detailed specification for airline rebuilder communication is reviewed.

This document considers the following major areas: 1 Major components and their ratings 2 Selection criteria for optimum design balance for electrical systems 3 Effects of operating conditions and environment on both maintenance and life of components 4 Trouble signals -- their diagnosis and cure

The main purpose of this test was to determine the application advantages of cushion tow hitches in comparison to the commonly used rigid tow hitch type fitted on heavy aircraft towing tractors. As diverse opinions emerged about its suitability since the introduction on the market of this new tow hitch type, it was intended to physically measure and evaluate the damping capability of this cushioned tow link when applied in practice.

This ARP covers all types of ground support equipment required to support civil transport aircraft.

This Recommended Practice outlines the general requirements for a transportable self-contained, continuous duty, diesel engine driven brushless alternator unit for supplying 400-Hertz electrical power to high performance commercial transport aircraft. It is intended to assist the airlines in standardardizing recommendations for various sizes and configurations of equipment and it is a guide for the preparation of detailed specifications by the purchaser. The unit is primarily intended to supply power to the aircraft during passenger loading and unloading, and during servicing operations at airports throughout the world. The combination of the equipment specified herein and the interconnecting cable(s) between the 400-Hertz alternator and the aircraft shall provide power characteristics at the aircraft receptacle which meet MIL-STD-704A requirements for Category "B" equipment. Other limits which are necessary to meet specific conditions must be specified by the purchaser.
