ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Disembarking passengers safely on the ramp and monitoring passenger movement while on the ramp.

Bottom line

Passengers may have little experience with the open ramp of an airport. The pilot should ensure the safety of the passengers by cautioning them to move on the surface only as directed. If not under the pilot's direct supervision, passengers should have an escort to ensure their safety and ramp security.
