Aircraft Ground Support Equipment - Wind Stability Determination
ARP1328B
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is intended to recommend:
a
uniform criteria for determination of wind loads that aircraft ground support equipment can encounter and yet allow personnel to work safely,
b
uniform systems for maintaining stability (i.e., stabilizers, outriggers, spring lockout devices),
c
standardization of specific types of interlock systems and actuation systems,
d
a standard formula with its associated design criteria for calculating the steady-state wind stability (i.e., tip point) for aircraft ground support equipment,
