When must the post arrival walk around be completed?

The post-arrival walk around is essential for ensuring that the aircraft is secure and that there are no visible issues that need to be addressed after landing. Completing this procedure within 10 minutes of arrival allows team members to promptly assess the plane for any potential safety concerns, verify the condition of the surrounding area, and identify any needs for servicing or refueling before the passengers disembark. This proactive approach reflects the commitment to safety and efficient operations, as it helps catch potential problems early when they can be managed more easily. Timing is critical in ramp operations, and the requirement to perform the walk-around shortly after arrival aligns with industry best practices, ensuring that safety protocols are adhered to meticulously.
