Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two types of ground support equipment?

Ground support equipment is commonly grouped into powered and non-powered equipment. Powered GSE includes systems with electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, RF, or computerized functions that actively support aircraft or mission operations.
