This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) outlines the basic general design requirements for ground support equipment used in the civil air transport industry. It is intended to assist in standardizing requirements for various configurations of equipment. For procurement of equipment, sections of this document should be specified with due consideration of the functional and environmental requirements of the equipment, and to the relative cost of satisfying those requirements.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) lists military and industry specifications, standards, recommended practices, and information reports applicable to aerospace hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components.

The SAE AE-5CH Taskgroup has determined that high flow liquid hydrogen fueling couplings need to be developed in order to fast fill aircraft at the airport. Though the flow rates from a current liquid hydrogen bayonet connect may reach the lower bound flow rates of regional aircraft, there are some shortcomings to this connector for aerospace. For this reason a new specification for flow rates for regional to narrowbody (and potentially later widebody) are to be developed in this documenet. Harmonization for lower flow rates (such as up to 20kg/minute) are planned to be harmonized with ground vehicle fueling such as with ISO 13984. Within this document,coupling descriptions including Flow rates from 84 to 200 kg/minute will be evaluated (and potentially higher), and requirements and testing and safety targets will be specified.

This document defines cables that are used to provide electrical power for U.S. Department of Defense avionics support and test equipment.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) covers forced air technology including: reference material, equipment, safety, operation, and methodology. This resource document is intended to provide information and minimum safety guidelines regarding use of forced air or forced air/fluid equipment to remove frozen contaminants. During the effective period of this document, relevant sections herein should be considered and included in all/any relevant SAE documents.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes the standards on telemetry data retrieval on ground support equipment (GSE), focusing on wiring requirements, connectors, signal definitions and communication protocols applicable in the industry.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is broken into various categories for convenience and ease of identification. It is the purpose of this document to provide certain criteria for the design and selection of stairways, for the boarding of passengers onto an aircraft. The criteria presented are limited to those factors which affect the safety of the passengers and are coordinated, where applicable, with the practices of the architectural profession, with respect to the design of stairways. Comprehensive design requirements for passenger stairs can be found in the industry documents listed under 2.1.3, 2.1.4, and 2.1.5 hereafter. The recommended practices are applicable to both mobile variable-elevation type stairways and to fixed-elevation stairways of the type built into an aircraft fuselage.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) 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.

This document outlines the functional and design requirements for baggage/cargo tow tractors used for airline services.

The tow vehicle should be designed for towbarless movement of aircraft on the ground. The design will ensure that the unit will safely secure the aircraft nose landing gear within the coupling system for any operational mode.

This SAE aerospace recommended practice (ARP) covers the requirements for external ground power equipment supplying 115/200 V, three-phase, 400 HZ output power measured at the aircraft receptacle. All forms of 400 Hz ground power including mobile and fixed systems are addressed by this document.

This document provides information and guidance material to assist in assessing the need for and feasibility of developing deicing facilities, the planning (size and location) and design of deicing facilities, and assessing environmental considerations and operational considerations associated with de-icing facilities. The document presents relevant information necessary to define the need for a deicing facility and factors influencing its size, location, and operation. The determination of the need for deicing facilities rests with Airports. Although this document intends to provide information to airport operator and deicing facility planner/designer, all stakeholders, including deicing service providers, should be involved in the development process.

Transporting baggage is critical in airport ground support services to ensure smooth flight operations. However, the scheduling of baggage transport vehicles faces challenges related to low efficiency and high costs. A multi-objective optimization vehicle scheduling model is proposed to address these issues, considering time and space costs, vehicle utilization, and passenger waiting time. An improved genetic algorithm (IGA) based on the large-scale neighborhood search algorithm is proposed to solve this model. The simulation experiment is conducted using actual flight data from an international airport. The IGA algorithm is compared with the standard genetic algorithm (SGA) based on experimental results, revealing that the former achieves convergence in a significantly shorter time. Moreover, the scheduling paths of baggage cars that violate flight service time window requirements are significantly lower in the final scheduling scheme under the IGA algorithm than in SGA.

The foundation specification (AMS1428) and the category specifications (AMS1428/1 and AMS1428/2) cover deicing/anti-icing materials in the form of a fluid.

OEM Limitations on skin pressures and temperatures and the relationship between those requirements and aircraft ground deicing equipment. Testing and results relating to these requirements.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) identifies and summarizes the various factors that must be considered and evaluated by the design or specifying engineer in establishing the specifications and design characteristics of battery-powered aircraft tow tractors. This AIR is presented in two parts. The first part is simply a summarization of design factors that must be considered in establishing vehicle specifications and design characteristics. The second part refers particularly to the performance characteristics of an aircraft tow tractor. Some definitions, formulas, data, and an example are provided mainly for assisting the specifying engineers of potential buyers and users of aircraft tow tractors in the evaluation and comparison of their requirements with the performance capabilities of the various tow tractors offered by the tow tractor manufacturers.
