Obstacles faced by AMC unit officers are the lack of AMC officers, lack of coordination between AMC officers and ground handling officers, and the absence of CCTV facilities in the parking stand area. These obstacles can be overcome by AMC officers coordinating with each other accompanied by the person in charge, conducting ramp checks on the apron once every 3 hours using a follow me car so that the parking stands are always safe and protected from dangerous goods, providing marshallers & guiding the aircraft to the parking stands using the follow me car service.
