Airfield Quiz: Runway Safety Questions And Answers

All of the mentioned vehicles (bicycles, motorcycles, and scooters) are not allowed on the airfield. This implies that none of these vehicles are permitted to be ridden or used within the airfield premises.

The statement is explaining what is included in the controlled movement area. It states that the controlled movement area includes specific runways (16L/34R, 16R/34L), the overruns of those runways, the area in between the runways, and certain distances from each runway and its overruns (100ft from runway 16L/34R and 300ft from runway 16R/34L). The statement is saying that all of these areas are part of the controlled movement area, which is true.

The given statement is true. A runway incursion refers to a situation where there is an incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for aircraft take-off and landing. This can be a serious safety concern as it increases the risk of collisions and accidents on the runway. Therefore, it is important for airports and aviation authorities to implement measures to prevent runway incursions and ensure the safety of all aircraft operations.

In an emergency response situation, it is crucial to prioritize safety and coordination. The Air Traffic Control Tower is responsible for managing and directing the movement of aircraft on the runway. Therefore, it is necessary to make radio contact with the Air Traffic Control Tower first to receive approval onto the runway. This ensures that there is proper communication and coordination between emergency responders and the control tower to prevent any potential accidents or conflicts on the runway.

The word "clear" is not to be used by vehicle operators that have two-way radio contact with ATC because it can cause confusion. "Clear" can be misunderstood as a clearance to proceed, which can lead to potential safety hazards. It is important for vehicle operators to use clear and concise language to communicate with ATC to ensure effective and safe communication.

The correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all vehicles that operate on the airfield will contain the visual aid of an Airfield Diagram, AFVA 11-240, AFVA 13-222, and Al Udeid Hot Spots.

Airfield Management is responsible for the initial issue of Airfield Driver's Licenses/IMT 483s. This means that they are in charge of providing these licenses to individuals who need to operate vehicles on the airfield. They are responsible for ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to the airfield and have the necessary training and qualifications to safely drive on the airfield.

The correct answer is 15 mph/35 kph. General purpose vehicles are not allowed to travel at high speeds on a taxiway due to safety reasons. Therefore, the speed limit for these vehicles is set at a lower speed of 15 mph or 35 kph.

The correct answer is a "Mandatory Sign." This type of sign usually has a red background and a white legend. It indicates that drivers must follow a specific instruction or take a particular action. In this case, the sign requires drivers to hold their position and proceed beyond it only with ATCT (Air Traffic Control Tower) approval. This suggests that there may be some sort of restricted area or controlled access ahead, and drivers must comply with the instructions given by the ATCT.

The appropriate action in this situation is to exit and remain clear of Taxiway Alpha between Taxiway Juliet 1 and the mid-field access road. This is because the ATCT has announced helicopter operations initiating between the South Ramp and Taxiway Alpha, so it is necessary to vacate the area to ensure safety and avoid any potential conflicts with the helicopter operations.

A location sign is best described as having a black background with yellow letters. This combination of colors provides high visibility and contrast, making the sign easily readable from a distance. The black background helps to make the yellow letters stand out, ensuring that the sign is easily noticeable and identifiable. This color scheme is commonly used for location signs on roads, highways, and other public areas to effectively convey important information to drivers and pedestrians.

When visibility is less than 100 feet (30 meters), both emergency response vehicles and alert vehicles in direct support of ATO missions are allowed on the airfield. This means that in situations where visibility is severely limited, vehicles that are specifically designated for emergency response and those that directly support ATO missions are permitted to operate on the airfield.

The correct answer is 3 because the AF IMT 483 is a form that allows individuals to request permission to escort vehicles on the airfield. This form typically grants permission for up to 3 vehicles to be escorted. Therefore, with a valid AF IMT 483, the maximum amount of vehicles allowed to be escorted on the airfield is 3.

The circle of safety extends 10 ft from an aircraft's nose, wing tips, and tail. This distance is important to maintain to prevent any potential hazards or accidents while the aircraft is on the ground. It allows for safe movement around the aircraft and ensures that there is enough space for ground personnel to work without being in danger.

According to the given information, no vehicle should be driven within 200 feet to the rear of any small aircraft, within 300 feet of any large aircraft with engines at idle power or about to start, and within 1000 feet of any large aircraft with engines running above idle power.

When approaching an aircraft at night, it is important to turn off headlights and activate parking lights. This is because the bright headlights can blind the pilots and obstruct their vision during takeoff and landing. By turning off the headlights and using parking lights instead, the driver ensures the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

When visibility is 300 meters or less on the airfield, the speed limit is 10 mph/16 kph. This is likely because reduced visibility can make it difficult for pilots and ground personnel to see and avoid obstacles, so a lower speed limit helps to ensure safety.

The correct answer is INST Hold position line. This marking designates a boundary that is meant to protect the runway environment. It indicates the position where an aircraft must hold and requires approval from air traffic control (ATC) to cross. This marking is typically used in instrument flight rules (IFR) operations to ensure safe separation between aircraft on the ground and those on the runway.

In the event that your vehicle becomes disabled on the airfield without a two-way radio to alert Air Traffic Control (ATC), the correct course of action is to stay with the vehicle until the situation is resolved. This is important because leaving the vehicle unattended can pose a safety risk and hinder the resolution of the situation. By staying with the vehicle, you can provide necessary information to authorities and assist in coordinating any necessary actions to address the issue. Additionally, activating the emergency flashers and notifying relevant authorities via radio can also help in ensuring prompt assistance.
