- Contexto
- Most of the line maintenance work is performed on the ramp or apron, which is a much busier environment than the hangar and which is subject to all types of weather and lighting variations. The ramp is a busy place with fuelling, baggage and catering activities, etc. and, as a result, access is often difficult.
