FAA Guide to Ground Vehicle Operations A Comprehensive Guide to Safe Driving on the Airport Surface 1 TC11-0020 FAA Guide to Ground Vehicle Operations Introduction Traffic levels rise, airports expand, surface routes change, and you, the vehicle driver, are expected to understand how to safely move about the airport. Besides learning about the different movement areas on the airport, the added combination of changes in weather, time of day and amount of aircraft traffic makes the risk of error higher than ever. Runway incursions are a serious safety concern and significantly impact safe operations at any airport. Incursions, which also can occur on taxiways although not considered runway incursions, have involved air carrier aircraft, military planes, general aviation aircraft, air traffic controllers, ground vehicles and pedestrians. A Runway Incursion (RI) is defined as any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft. There are three types of RIs: Operational Errors (OE), Pilot Deviations (PD) and Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviations (V/PD). Operational Errors involve air traffic control (ATC) and Pilot Deviations typically involve an airmans mistake. A V/PD occurs when a vehicle or pedestrian has entered the runway safety area without authorization from air traffic control. Annually, V/PDs comprise approximately 20% of total runway incursions.
