The next meeting will be held in Miami Airport February 16 & 17, 2012. Please mark you calendars and note that these dates are one week later than discussed at the last meeting. We plan a site tour of the new APM systems at Miami Airport and will also resolve recent ballot comments and discuss several topics in addition to:

 

Reaffirmation progress and plan to combine all Volumes into one publication.

Proposed changes to NFPA 130 that relate to ASCE 21

Clarification of emergency evacuation directions

Structural criteria for tubular steel trusses as relates to APM Standard

Review of APM accident/incident reports

Safety considerations of baggage trolleys on APMs

 

I would appreciate receiving any information or procedures relating operating rules regarding baggage trolleys on APMs – many APM systems do not allow baggage trolleys and I would like to gather that data also.
