Apron (HLS) is a HAZARD AREA

It is always hazardous to be near an aircraft with the engines running.

Take special care when working near the engines of propeller aircraft or helicopter.

Stay clear of the propeller blades, as you may not be able to hear or see them when they start rotating.

Never approach jet engines when they are operating. The suction is so powerful in front of and next to the air intake that loose objects or even persons can be sucked in quite easily.

Always keep a safe distance from the engines. Beware of the blast from both jet and propeller engines.

Smoking and open fire is strictly prohibited on the apron or HLS area even if you are inside a car;
