Aircraft Marshalling (Fixed and Rotary-Wing)

As stated within ICAO Doc. 9981 PANS Aerodromes, a marshalling service should be available to aircraft on request and provided where guidance systems do not exist or are unserviceable. Marshalling guidance may also be required to avoid a temporary safety hazard. This involves preparing a suitable vehicle, equipment and route for escorting the aircraft. Marshalling signals should be provided in a standard manner to pilots of both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, as also recognised by IATA.
