Deck/Ground Handling Signals
Communications between aircraft and ground personnel are visual whenever practical, operations

00-80T-113) should be reviewed and practiced by all flightcrew and ground crew personnel. For ease
of reference, visual signals applicable to deck/ground handling are listed in Figure 27-1. During night
operations, wands shall be substituted for hand and finger movements.
