1、AEROSPACERECOMMENDED PRACTICEARP1558Issued 2014-10Interface Protection - Ground Equipment to AircraftRATIONALEThis ARP, superseding former AIR 1558A originally published in 1978, specifies both passive devices and current state of the art active detection systems that should be incorporated or consi
2、dered in GSE design in order to ensure aircraft protection against fuselage damage resulting from GSE interface. The change of document status from AIR to ARP is intended to take into account research findings on composite fuselage aircraft protection.TABLE OF CONTENTS1. SCOPE 31.1 Purpose. 31.2 Fie
