Aircraft Ramp Damage

[liNeC]

Hi guys


I need your help.

I am researching Aircraft Ramp Damage for my thesis at Cranfield University and I need all your knowledge and expertise.

I want to find out why aircraft damage on the ramp happens. Of course, some of the reasons why damage happens are well know, but the evidence is not there. I want that evidence and the hidden causes as well.

I used to work on the ramp for a short while and there is surprisingly a small amount of information out there relating to the ramp (that's why I'm doing the research) I’m hoping the data collected and analysed from these interviews can go on to help ground handling companies and the industry to improve methods to help reduce further occurrences.

I'd really appreciate your help, so just drop me a private message.


EDIT: what would you improve/change to prevent aircraft damage?
