Aircraft Ground Support Equipment - Wind Stability Determination ARP1328D

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,
e
A standard method for testing these systems.
