At what speed do wing walkers need to maintain pace during aircraft movement?

Wing walkers are responsible for ensuring safe ground movement of aircraft, serving as visual guides and providing a buffer against potential obstacles. The speed at which wing walkers need to maintain pace during aircraft movement is typically set at 5 mph. This speed strikes a balance between allowing the aircraft to move efficiently while giving the wing walkers enough time to react to any obstacles or hazards in the aircraft's path.

Maintaining this speed helps to ensure a safe, controlled environment during ground operations, as it allows for clear visibility of signals and instructions during movement. It is important for wing walkers to stay alert and proactive while walking at this pace to ensure safety and prevent accidents, especially in busy aircraft movement areas where other vehicles and personnel may be present.
