Description: "ACRP Report 62: Airport Apron Management and Control Programs presents a compilation of apron safety statistics from U.S. and non-U.S. airports to draw conclusions as to the apparent effectiveness of apron management programs around the world. Through a common set of data and consistent definitions, the report is able to compare and contrast apron management programs around the world to U.S. airports, while considering the common operational and ownership differences between U.S. and non-U.S. airports."--Foreword.
