1. Slow Down: Vehicles must approach parked aircraft at a reduced speed ensuring that they are crawling.
2. Use Caution: Drivers should use extreme caution when operating vehicles in the vicinity of parked aircraft. Parked aircraft may have their engines running, and therefore drivers must be vigilant to the possible hazards of being near powered aircraft.
3. Look Out for Aircraft Personnel: Drivers should always be aware of the potential presence of aircraft personnel around parked aircraft. These individuals may be engaged in maintenance or inspection tasks and may be in close proximity to the aircraft.
4. Avoid Close Proximity: Vehicles should not be driven within 25 feet (7.6 meters) of parked aircraft unless directed to do so by airport personnel. This will ensure that they are not in the way of aircraft operations and will reduce the risk of accidents.
5. Use Ground Guides: If a vehicle must be driven within 25 feet (7.6 meters) of parked aircraft, ground guides should be used to help direct the driver. These ground guides are trained personnel who are responsible for ensuring the safe movement of vehicles around aircraft.
6. Obey Instructions: Drivers should obey all instructions given by airport personnel when operating vehicles in the vicinity of parked aircraft. This includes following any directions given by ground guides and any posted signage.
7. Communicate with Aircraft Personnel: Drivers should communicate with aircraft personnel if they need to get close to a parked aircraft. This will help to ensure that both the driver and the aircraft personnel are aware of each other's intentions and can work together to avoid accidents.
By following these guidelines, drivers can help to ensure the safety of parked aircraft and the people working around them.
