This specification prescribes general requirements for marking of aircraft ground support equipment and other vehicles (i.e., runway sweepers, firetrucks, refuelers, etc.), used on or near the flight line area with retro-reflective materials.
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.
The scope of this recommended practice limits itself to the seven different services mentioned in 1.2. It has focused on these aircraft services because:
The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to standardize locations of aircraft ground service connections to accommodate the trend toward fixed systems, which use the passenger loading bridge as a vehicle for a source of utilities. It must be recognized that, in standardizing the locations of the aircraft service connections, they must continue to be served efficiently in those instances where mobile ground support equipment is used. There is an ever increasing number of fixed installations for aircraft servicing. The objectives to be met by standardizing the locations of the aircraft service connections are the following:

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) describes the characteristics and effects of using no-break power transfer (NBPT) methods when switching between auxiliary-power unit (APU) and ground-power unit (GPU). The GPU may be: a Point-of-use solid-state frequency converter, engine-generator, or motor-generator b Central system powered by motor-generator or solid-state frequency converter
This SAE Recommended Practice which defines the terms and tabulates the limits of the characteristics for various protective devices used in conjunction with 400-cycle ground power for civil aircraft is intended to assist the airlines in standardizing on 400-cycle protective systems. The limits found to be acceptable in the civil aircraft industry are presented.
