doubt are just a few of the ways you can be a safety ambassador while driving air side at work next we′ll review some of the terminology you′ll hear while learning about air side driving there are many different [unique_solution]parts at the airport and it is common that the term Airport can be replaced for aerodrome aerodrome can mean any area of land or water officially used for airplanes to take off land or be serviced but it can also refer to the buildings used for these purposes all airports can be divided into two parts air side and ground side air side is that area beyond security checks and passport control which is used by the aircraft to load/unload takeoff and land an air side escort is someone who is authorized to escort others into the restricted areas of the airport air traffic control is usually located in a tower overlooking the airport as this is where aircraft and vehicle movements are controlled from the air side vehicle operators or a vogue is what you will be working towards this is similar to a driver′s license but it allows you to drive airside in certain areas of the airport there may be different types of Avox at your location so please ask your supervisor for more information about the type of Ava you will obtain at your base prerequisites for obtaining an Ava are having a valid restricted area identification card as well as having a valid driver′s license runway visual range or RvR is a term used to express how far pilot can see down the runway usually given in feet or meters when the visibility is very low the airport may adjust operations for reduced visibility operations or low visibility operations by reducing or even stopping work air side until the visibility improves the operational stand is a location on the apron where the planes are parked serviced and loaded and unloaded there may be ramp workers equipment and other vehicles in this area that you must be aware of when driving on the ramp the apron is the area of the airport where aircraft are serviced loaded and unloaded and also where many vehicles equipment and passengers may be moving around between the terminal the aircraft and possibly other parts of the airport you will see painted lines on the apron which will help you identify the vehicle corridor where it is safer vehicles to travel just like on a regular Road you will receive base specific training for those areas before you obtain your a bob the critical area is where the navigation aids communications equipment and other sensitive equipment operate it is crucial that this area remains clear to avoid any signal interference foreign object debris or Fahd is any small objects or litter on the ramp which could possibly cause damage to an aircraft or to you or your colleagues working airside the term pushback is used to describe the airside operation where a vehicle called the tug moves an aircraft back from an operational stand to the area where it will start its engines the movement area is used to describe all of the controlled and uncontrolled areas and aircraft may move in the aerodrome the maneuvering area is a portion of the movement area used for takeoff and landing such as runways and taxiways and are usually controlled areas the 2 following are some common rules for you to follow as a driver airside a driver cannot enter a controlled area without permission or clearance from ground control a controlled taxiway is similar to a controlled area as clearance from ground control must be obtained and often a specific type of a bob must be held by the driver of any vehicle to enter any uncontrolled areas or taxiways on the other hand may be used without clearance from ground control however an aircraft will always have the right-of-way any restricted areas at your base will be clearly marked with a 266 sign or security gate and a visible rake must be worn at all times or else an individual would have to be accompanied by an air side escort while you may be used to driving on the roads and highways in your city or town driving airside is a very different experience the remainder of this course will review your roles and responsibilities as an air sight driver the specific hazards and safety considerations to be aware of when driving airside as well as general rules and regulations every employee will also have to take a test to confirm that they can drive airside while every airport has a different test structure we′ll provide an overview of the general types of tests you may experience in module 4 as well as what happens if you do not follow the rules and regulations of your a bob to finish this module we would just like to remind you that this online course covers only a general overview of the policies and practices for driving air side every Airport Authority will have different rules and regulations which you must be aware of before you obtain your a Bop and begin driving air side it is a serious responsibility to hold and retain an a Bop and at Sao Holdings we treat this responsibility with all the respect it deserves if you have any questions about driving airside even if you already have an a bob please talk to your supervisor or manager when you′re ready please continue to the quiz
