What is the maximum speed limit for Ground Motor Vehicles in the baggage make-up area?

The maximum speed limit for Ground Motor Vehicles in the baggage make-up area is set at 5 miles per hour. This speed limit is essential for ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment in a high-traffic area where baggage is loaded and unloaded from aircraft. Operating at a lower speed allows for better reaction times in case of unexpected situations, such as personnel moving in close proximity to the vehicles or obstacles being present in the area.

Establishing a speed limit of 5 miles per hour creates a safer working environment, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries that could occur due to higher vehicle speeds in a confined and busy space like the baggage make-up area. This practice is part of standard safety protocols in the aviation industry, emphasizing caution and awareness in areas where the potential for accidents is heightened.
