7 C H A P T E R 2 This chapter describes the types and functions of commonly used airport GSE and their emissions characteristics. Most airport GSE operated on the airside of the airport are typically associated with the servicing of aircraft during the ground-based, airport turnaround process.

GSE Types, Functions, and Emissions 13 Importantly, the CAA preempts individual states from adopting or enforcing their own on-road and nonroad emission standards, with California being the only exception. Table 2 lists and summarizes the primary federal statutes and programs relevant to the control of emissions from airport GSE.
