    • 1980, Approach (volume 25, issue 8)
      A workstand was moved into position beneath the main door to help crewmembers climb out of the aircraft. The flight engineer climbed out of the aircraft to supervise the refueling, started down the workstand, but remembered he had forgotten his flashlight.
    • 1990, Thomas J. Albin, Assessment of Accident Risk During Haulage Truck and Power Shovel Maintenance and Recommendations for Improved Safety (page 4)
