ICAO ELP Japan Exam Report (SP-14 / FC-13) — April 2023 | Real Pilot Experience

Single Picture — Scene:

Picture: SP-14
A plane blocks in during a snowstorm. Comes with anti-collision light and navigation light. Multiple ground workers are on standby on the ground. Two workers are waiting near the stop line. Marshaler is inducing block-in. There is snow on the ground and snow is blowing into the boarding bridge, and workers are shoveling snow at the exit of the bridge. What appears to be a towing car can be seen behind the plane.

Single Picture — Examiner Questions:

・What are the two workers waiting closer to the plane doing? (They are probably mechanics, and they said that after stopping, they set chalk in front of the tires and talk to the cockpit to see if there were any problems during the flight.)
・What do the marshaller’s hand signals mean?
・Which do you think is better between VDGS and Marshaler?
