SAE AS 7995:2022 PDF Download

The communication system utilized by passenger boarding stairs, movable passenger boarding ramps, and boarding bridges to notify the cabin crew of the docking status and safety of these access means is covered by the SAE AS 7995:2022 standard.

The PBS/PBR/PBB operator has traditionally knocked on the aircraft door to indicate that it is secure and can be opened. To maintain safe operations, new controls and procedures must be established with the advent of new technology like remote control systems and autonomous cars.

This standard intends to improve communication between the ground crew and the cabin crew by giving a uniform approach to the docking indicator system. This ensures that the access means are correctly positioned before passengers can safely exit. This standard helps make passenger boarding procedures more secure and effective overall.
