§ 2.60.300. Motorized equipment operations.

A.

No motorized equipment shall be operated on the aircraft parking ramps, the airport landing area or airport perimeter roads except:

1.

By persons assigned to duty thereon;

2.

By persons authorized by the executive director;

3.

By persons escorted by safety and security vehicle.

B.

No vehicle shall be allowed to enter upon the aircraft movement area, either day or night, unless equipped with a radio with two-way communications with the FAA control tower, or escorted by a vehicle so equipped; provided, however, for tractors, mowers, tugs and equipment employed in the maintenance of the field, mowing of grass, etcetera, radios shall not be required.

C.

No vehicle may enter the landing area until clearance has been given by the control tower; provided, however, that such vehicles not requiring radio as provided above shall enter upon the aircraft movement area proper after FAA control tower has been notified by telephone concerning necessary movements, and permission granted for such movement. It is the responsibility of all vehicle operators to be conversant with the standard airport light signals, regardless of whether vehicle is radio equipped. (In the absence of a control tower, the assigned airport supervisor may grant the right to enter aircraft movement areas).

D.

Operators of motorized equipment on aircraft parking areas, ramp service roads, baggage make-up and delivery claim road areas, shall operate such equipment with extreme caution, and shall not at any time exceed a speed of fifteen miles per hour. The maximum baggage or freight-cart train shall consist of one tug and four tandem carts.

E.

No person shall operate any motorized vehicle upon any area of the airport if such vehicle, with or without towed equipment, is so constructed, equipped or loaded so as to be a danger, or is likely to endanger persons or property. All persons riding in any motorized vehicle shall be seated in seats permanently affixed to the vehicle.

F.

All motorized vehicles, while operating upon an aircraft ramp area, shall pass to the rear of taxiing aircraft and shall not be driven between a parked aircraft and its loading gate while enplaning or deplaning activities are in effect.
