• Access to the movement area;

• The security of aerodrome work;

• Apron security management;

• Management of ground handlers;

• Improvement of AIP documentation;

• Low/Poor visibility procedure;

• Removal of immobilsed aircraft on the ground;

• Management of obstacles;

At the end of this review, Experts interviewed the Experts of the administrations concerned and intervening in the civil aviation chain in Cameroon.
