Chapter 3

AIRFIELD MARKINGS, SIGNAGE, AND LIGHTING

3.1. General.

3.1.1. Airfield markings, lights and signs are used to direct and control the movement of

aircraft and vehicles on the ground. All personnel involved with driving on the airfield know

and comply with airfield markings, lights and signs to prevent aircraft impediments and

runway incursions.

3.2. Markings in Controlled Movement Area (CMA).

3.2.1. The runway edge is marked with solid white lines running the length of the runway.

The centerline is marked with a dashed white line running down the middle of the length of

the runway. White numerals and direction indicators 19L/R and 01L/R at the ends of each

runway mark the designation.

3.2.2. Runway Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Hold Position Markings. Four parallel yellow

stripes that extend across the entire width of a taxiway, 100 ft. from the edge of the runway.

The two lines closest to the runway are dashed and the other two are solid. This marking is a

designated boundary intended to protect the runway environment. No vehicle will pass this

marking without ATCT approval. See Attachment 2.

Figure 3.1. VFR Hold Position Marking.

3.2.3. Runway Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Hold Position Markings. Two solid parallel

yellow stripes with double vertical stripes spaced two ft. apart. The space between pairs is ten

ft. and all stripes are one foot wide. The designation for the instrument holding position

“INST” is painted on the runway side of the line to be read facing the runway.

Figure 3.2. IFR Hold Position Marking.

3.2.3.1. This marking is used to prevent aircraft and vehicles from interfering with the

Instrument Landing System (ILS) signal transmitted to an aircraft on final approach.

During inclement weather or when visibility is restricted, vehicle operators will not cross

the instrument hold line without ATCT approval. There are eight IFR hold position

markings on Andrews. Refer also to the airfield diagram located at Attachment 2.


3.2.3.2. During periods of poor weather conditions (e.g. snow, fog, rain, etc.) weather

visibility conditions may drop below a reported ceiling of 800 feet or 2 miles visibility

requiring the activation of the Instrument Landing System (ILS), under which conditions

the IFR hold position is the active hold line all vehicle operators must stop at before

requesting access to the runway. When the IFR hold position is active, alternating yellow

flashing lights across the taxiway will be visible.

Figure 3.3. Non-Movement Area Marking.

3.2.3.3. Figure 3.3. Designates the boundary of the CMA off a parking ramp and requires

ATCT approval prior to proceeding across it.

3.2.4. Vehicle Lane Markings. Some areas of the airfield have vehicle lanes marked with

white lines. Airfield access roads, roads within the airfield interior, and barrier access roads

leading to the runway all have white stop-bar markings. The stopping distances ensure

taxiways have required wing tip clearance. The stop-bars on barrier access roads are in line

with CMA hold position markings.

3.2.4.1. Stop bars are denoted by solid white lines painted across access roads leading up

to the controlled movement area. Vehicles must request permission from ATCT to cross

these lines and gain access in the controlled movement area.

Figure 3.4. Vehicle Access Road Stop Bar Marking.

3.3. Taxiway, Taxilane and Apron Markings.

3.3.1. Taxiway centerlines are marked with a continuous yellow line. A taxilane is a taxi path

on an apron and is also marked with a continuous yellow line. These centerlines are used to

indicate the taxi path of an aircraft.

Figure 3.5. Taxiway Centerline Marking.


3.3.2. Enhanced taxiway centerline markings consist of a parallel line of yellow dashes on

either side of the normal taxiway centerline. The taxiway centerlines are enhanced to

maximum 150 feet prior to a runway holding position marking. These centerline markings

provide vehicle drivers an additional visual reference as they approach a runway holding

position marking.

Figure 3.6. Enhanced Taxiway Centerline Marking.

3.3.3. Taxiway edges are marked with continuous double yellow lines. The marking indicates

the edge of the usable taxiway surface from other surfaces not intended for use by aircraft.

Figure 3.7. Taxiway Edge Marking.

3.3.4. Taxilane edges are marked with 15 foot long double yellow lines with 25 foot gaps

between them and are used to define the limits of a designated taxi route where the surrounding

pavement is intended for use by aircraft. Aircraft movement across the designated boundary

is permitted either by direction of ATCT, a marshaled, or at the pilot's discretion.

Figure 3.7.1. Taxilane Edge Marking.

3.3.5. Restricted Area Markings.

3.3.5.1. Boundary: A solid red line used to designate restricted areas. Personnel/vehicles

are not authorized to cross restricted area boundary markings.

Note: ATCT cannot grant permission to cross restricted area boundary markings. Personnel

must enter/exit restricted area via an Entry Control Point (ECP). See Attachments 2 and 3 for

Restricted Area ECP locations.

Figure 3.8. Restricted Area Line.


3.3.5.2. Restricted Area Entry Control Point: A white rectangle box with the words

“Entry” Control Point” painted in red. Personnel and vehicles requiring access into

restricted area will do so through entry control points only. All personnel entering a

restricted area must have a valid restricted area (Pathfinder) badge authorizing access into

the area or be escorted.

Figure 3.9. Entry Control Point Marking.

3.3.6. Closed Pavement Markings. Airfield pavements previously used for aircraft operations

that are closed to aircraft traffic are marked with a yellow capital “X.” Some of these areas on

the airfield are degraded. Vehicles may still use these paved areas but will conduct FOD

checks prior to reentering operational airfield pavements.

Figure 3.10. Closed Pavement Marking Painted.

3.3.7. Non Standard Markings are depicted on Attachment 4.

3.3.8. West Ramp Parking Row Markings. Parking rows 1-13 on the West Ramp are identified

by 20 foot long painted numbers along Taxiway W and 2 foot long painted numbers along the

fire lane.

Figure 3.11. 20ft Parking Row Marking.

4.5. Speed Limits.

4.5.1. 15 MPH speed limit applies to:

4.5.1.1. General purpose vehicles operating within the airfield environment. This area

includes aircraft parking ramps (except for operations near aircraft as described in 4.5.3.),

airfield access or bypass roads, and taxiways, taxilanes, and hangar access routes.

4.5.1.2. There is no speed limit on the runway; however, no vehicle will be operated at a

speed in excess of that deemed reasonable and prudent for existing conditions.

4.5.1.3. Speed limits on vehicle parking areas are dependent on location, and are posted

by the installation traffic management authority.

4.5.5.7. Anytime ATCT directs a driver to “expedite” or directs a vehicle action with the

term “immediately” or “expedite.” Once the vehicle is clear of the aircraft operation, they

will resume normal speed limits.

4.6. Vehicle Lighting.

4.6.1. All vehicles on the airfield will use headlights during hours of darkness or reduced

visibility (i.e. 1,000 ft.). To preserve an aircrew's night vision, vehicle headlights will never

be shined towards a taxiing aircraft. When a taxiing aircraft is encountered, the vehicle will

stop and headlights will be turned off. Parking lights or emergency flashers will be turned on.

Headlights will remain off until the aircraft has departed the area, and turned back on before

the vehicle is put in motion.

4.6.2. Golf-cart type vehicles not equipped with parking lights must position their vehicles to

prevent headlights from being directed toward a taxiing aircraft.

4.6.3. Drivers of vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (DRL) must be aware of the

system’s operating procedures. Normally, to turn the head lights off, a vehicle must stop, shift

transmission into park, and apply the parking brake to turn the DRL off while other

parking/emergency flasher lights function normally. If this procedure does not work, vehicle

must be stopped in a direction that does not direct headlights towards a taxiing aircraft.

4.6.4. All vehicles that operate routinely within the CMA must use high beams, rotating

beacon lights, regardless of the time of day. Vehicles that do not routinely operate within the

CMA and do not have beacon lights must use high beams and hazard lights while within the

CMA. IAW T.O. 36-1-191, the following are authorized beacon colors:

4.6.4.1. Aviation Red. Emergency vehicles; i.e. fire department, ambulances, flight safety,

staff cars, buses, and station wagons) may be equipped with aviation yellow magnetic based

caution lights at the discretion of the local commander.

4.7. Reduced Visibility.

4.7.1. When low visibility operations are in effect the airfield speed limit is reduced to 10

MPH and vehicle movement in the CMA is limited to mission essential operations only.

4.7.2. When visibility is 100 ft./30m or less, refueling and explosive laden vehicles will not

be operated unless directed by 89 AW/11 WG Commander. The airfield speed limit is 5 MPH.

4.7.3. When weather reports visibility 50ft/15m, no vehicle may operate on the airfield except

for mission critical personnel (i.e. emergency response vehicles, alert vehicles, PAG Support,

etc.).

4.7.4. When visibility is less than 50 ft./15m, mission critical personnel (i.e. emergency

response vehicles, alert vehicles, PAG Support, etc.,) operated on the airfield should be led by

a walking guide equipped with a luminescent or flashing wand to signal the vehicle. Note: All

vehicles will use emergency warning flashers when parked on the ramp during hours of

darkness or inclement weather.

4.7.5. AM Ops will relay reduced visibility driving restrictions to units listed in the base

weather support plan. Unit control centers must ensure the restrictions are then relayed to

airfield drivers.

4.8. Operating in the Vicinity of Aircraft.

4.8.1. No vehicle or equipment will be driven within 25 ft. of an aircraft unless it is mission

essential.

4.8.2. All vehicles approaching or operating within 25 ft. of an aircraft will approach with

driver side of vehicle closest to the aircraft. The only exceptions are DV motorcades, special

purpose vehicles, or cargo loading equipment that require a different approach and

maintenance vehicles removing AGE from an aircraft.

4.8.3. No vehicle will be driven within 10 ft. (circle of safety) of a parked aircraft, except

when the aircraft is being serviced, loaded, or off-loaded as prescribed in an applicable

directive. When operating within the circle of safety, a safety observer must be used and pre-

positioned wheel chocks placed between the aircraft and an approaching vehicle to prevent

vehicles from striking the aircraft.

4.8.4. Exception: Special equipment or cargo loading vehicles may be driven closer to aircraft

when necessary to load/off-load provided safety spotters are used and chocks are in place when

within 10 ft. of an aircraft. Examples are, maintenance vehicles removing AGE from the

vicinity of an aircraft, maintenance vehicles responding to aircraft discrepancies that require

immediate attention, Supervisor of Flying (SOF) vehicle during a visual inspection of an

chocked.


4.9.10. AGE-towing vehicles may be placed in neutral while the driver aligns the pintle hook

and tongue during hookup operations. Drivers must shut off the vehicle and set the parking

brake and place the vehicle in park or reverse if they do not drive off with the AGE immediately

following hookup.

4.9.11. During aircraft emergencies, emergency vehicles will be parked as directed by the Fire

Chief or Airfield Manager (AFM).

4.9.12. Stalled or disabled vehicles will not be left unattended on the runway or taxiways. The

driver of the vehicle must notify ATCT or AM Ops immediately of their situation and request

assistance. If unable to radio ATCT or AM Ops, vehicle operator must attempt to signal

another vehicle. It is imperative that the vehicle driver remain with the vehicle and make every

effort to alert authorities of situation. Disabled vehicle operators must attempt the following:

4.9.12.1. Leave the vehicle parking lights or emergency flashers on.

4.9.12.2. If the vehicle has two-way radio capability, make the following transmission:

“All parties BREAK, BREAK-This is (call sign) with an emergency for Airfield

Management, Tower, and Maintenance Operations Center”. State the nature of the

problem and report your position on the airfield.

4.9.13. Operators of other radio-equipped vehicles (e.g. security forces, civil engineer,

transportation, etc.) must make every effort to assist getting the disabled vehicle off of the

airfield, especially if the vehicle is located on parking aprons, taxiways, or runway.

4.9.14. If a vehicle is not equipped with a two-way radio, stay with the vehicle and continue

attempts to alert any taxiing aircraft or other vehicles in the vicinity.

4.11. Vehicle Chocking Requirements:

4.11.1. Vehicles and wheeled equipment that do not have integral braking systems when they

are left parked and unattended on a parking ramp will have one rear wheel chocked fore and

aft.

4.11.2. Vehicles used in loading operations will be chocked to prevent movement and possible

collision with the aircraft. Wheel chocks will be pre-positioned when vehicles are to be driven

within 10 ft. of the aircraft. Spotters should be used to position and guide the approach of the

vehicle to the aircraft; this includes reverse operations.


4.11.3. Vehicles with mobile ramp steps do not need to be chocked if the driver remains at the

wheel.

Note: Mobile ramp steps are considered chocked when the stabilizers are in the “down” position.

4.12. Foreign Object Damage/Debris (FOD) Prevention and Control.

4.12.1. All personnel operating vehicles on the airfield will stop and perform a visual FOD

inspection on all equipment and vehicles at the FOD Checkpoints, prior to entering the airfield,

crossing an airfield surface, or immediately after exiting construction areas located on the

airfield. Additionally, these checks must be accomplished immediately after returning to the

paved surface from an unpaved surface.

Note 1: Vehicles on NAVAIDs Road are required to conduct FOD checks.

4.12.2. FOD checks will include a visual inspection of tires, wheel wells, fenders, and truck

beds. All surfaces of each tire must be inspected. Therefore, after initial inspection of tires,

the operator must pull forward enough to expose the surface of the tires contacting the ground

during the initial inspection. The newly exposed tire surface must also be inspected (roll-over

inspection) before proceeding onto the airfield. Vehicles equipped with towable magnets will

be checked and all debris removed from the magnets. FOD checks during hours of darkness

must be performed with a flashlight.

4.12.3. Perform a thorough FOD check during the daily vehicle inspection, per AF Form 1800,

Operators Inspection Guide, Item 8. During the daily vehicle inspection, all foreign materials

will be removed from the tires of vehicles used for airfield operations.

4.12.4. During winter months snow and icy conditions may cause debris to accumulate on

vehicles. Anytime these conditions are present, FOD checks are mandatory, to include removal

of snow and ice from vehicle tops, bumpers, and wheel wells.

4.12.5. Vehicles will be operated on hard surfaces to the maximum extent possible. If

operation on an unpaved surface is absolutely necessary, drivers will check tires immediately

after returning to paved surfaces. If pavement area requires cleaning after returning from

unpaved surfaces (i.e., mud), the vehicle operator will ensure a sweeper is requested through

AM Ops.

4.12.6. Vehicle operators encountering small amounts of FOD will stop and secure the FOD.

Large amounts of debris will immediately be reported to Airfield Management, who will

dispatch a sweeper.

4.12.7. With the exception of watch caps, hats will not be worn on the airfield within aircraft

intake hazard areas. If a hat is carried on the airfield, it will be properly secured. Individuals

not working near aircraft operating areas may wear hats when approved by the Airfield

Manager (i.e. Security Forces, DV Reception).

4.12.8. The following vehicle operators are exempt from the aforementioned inspection

requirement. Within 5 minutes after their airfield mission is complete (e.g. DV boards their

aircraft/departs the airfield; emergency response is complete), exempted operators are

responsible for contacting Airfield Management Operations at DSN 858-9442 or Commercial

301-981-9442 and provide them with the route of travel while on the airfield. Airfield

Management Operations will dispatch a sweeper truck to sweep the same path as operations

allow:

5.1.1. Defined as any portion of the airfield that requires aircraft, vehicles and pedestrians to

obtain ATC approval to access.

5.1.2. The CMA consists of all runways, overruns, and taxiways (excluding those areas listed

under non-CMA stated in the glossary, Attachment 1). Double dashed yellow lines (Apron

taxilane edge markings) delineate the CMA between the West Ramp and Taxiway W. Double

dashed yellow lines also delineate the CMA between the East Ramp and Taxiway E.

Note: Vehicles operating in the CMA must use high beams, and rotating beacon lights or

hazard/warning lights.

5.1.3. All vehicles or personnel must establish two-way radio contact with ATCT or escorted

by a vehicle with this capability and receive approval from ATCT before entering any portion

of the CMA. In the event of radio failure, the CMA must be vacated immediately.

5.1.4. No person may operate a vehicle across the runway in front of landing aircraft regardless

of approval from ATCT.

5.1.5. Restrictions apply to all runways regardless of whether they are active or inactive.

5.1.6. When directed to exit the runway all vehicles will immediately egress via the nearest

possible exit, cross the hold lines and report to the control tower they are off the runway.

5.1.7. The apron taxilane edge marking (see figure 3.3) indicates the boundary of the CMA on

the west side of the airfield between the ramp and Taxiway Whiskey.

5.1.8. In certain situations, ATCT may grant access to the CMA but limit the areas that may

be accessed. For example, grass mowing equipment may receive approval within the CMA

but told to hold short of the runway; often referred to as “...APPROVED UP TO BUT NOT ON

THE RUNWAY...” Barrier Maintenance personnel may be approved in barrier shacks but told

to hold short of the runway. In these situations, it is imperative the drivers fully understand

and acknowledge Control Tower instructions.

5.1.9. Anytime ATCT directs vehicles or personnel to exit the CMA, they will depart the CMA

using the most direct route and fall back to a position outside of the CMA boundary.

5.1.10. Vehicles that normally operate within the CMA must use high beams and rotation

beacon lights. Vehicles not equipped with beacon lights must use emergency flashers.

Vehicles will turn lights on prior to contacting ATCT and requesting access onto the CMA.

Upon exiting the CMA, vehicles will leave the lights on until ATCT has acknowledged they

are off the CMA.


5.1.11. Taxiway W/W2/W3/W5 Procedures. If operating on the shoulders of Taxiways W2,

W3, W5, between Taxiway W, maintain two-way contact with ATCT. The area 200 ft. west

of the Taxiway W centerline must remain clear of all obstacles. Refer also to Figure 5.1. below.

Figure 5.1. Taxiway W2 and Surrounding Area.

5.2. Convoy or Escort Procedures.

5.2.1. Personnel acting as escorts must be authorized and certified to drive on the airfield and

be fully aware of associated responsibilities. Escorts must brief all drivers on route, speed, and

procedures.

5.2.2. The number of vehicles in a convoy must be limited to the minimum required to

accomplish the mission. The convoy must maintain close intervals when crossing the CMA.

The convoy escort must be in the lead vehicle and is responsible for all communications with

ATCT.

5.2.3. Lead vehicle will contact ATCT and advise them of how many vehicles are in the

convoy; i.e. “...AMC CONVOY PLUS THREE...,” means a total of four vehicles. The lead

vehicle will not enter the CMA until ATCT approves and will not call off the CMA until the

last vehicle has crossed the CMA boundary.

5.3. Radio Procedures.

5.3.1. No person may operate a vehicle across a runway unless they have consistent VHF/UHF

radio contact with ATCT on VHF Ground Control frequency and understand the ground

controller’s instructions. Approval to cross a runway does not relieve an operator from visually

checking for approaching/departing aircraft and transiting vehicles. Vehicles will not proceed

beyond VFR hold position markings without ATCT approval. To avoid a misunderstanding,

all instructions issued by ATCT will be repeated by the driver verbatim prior to entering and

while operating within the runway environment. Only vehicle call signs specified in

Attachment 18 are approved.

5.3.2. Vehicles and personnel will contact ATCT via the base land mobile radio Ground net,

using a CMA approved call sign. Access to any portion of the CMA requires Ground Control


approval. Radio must be monitored and connectivity with Ground Control maintained the

entire time a vehicle or person is within the CMA.

5.3.2.1. Vehicle Activity on Runways. Vehicles requesting ATCT authorization to access

either runway for an extended period of time (i.e. AM for airfield inspections, Barrier

Maintenance for aircraft arresting system configuration, etc.) will be directed to change

from Ground Control to Local Control frequency prior to accessing the runway.

Note: Vehicles requesting to cross either runway (routine crossings) will remain on Ground

Control.

5.3.2.1.1. Vehicles directed to change from Ground to Local Control shall change

frequencies and confirm with ATCT prior to accessing the runway.

5.3.2.1.2. Vehicles will vacate the runway and will be directed by ATCT to switch

from Local to Ground Control once past the VFR Hold Line (IFR Hold Line if IMC).

5.3.3. If radio contact is lost, the Control Tower will flash runway edge lights on and off, or

use light-gun signals to direct the vehicle to exit the CMA. If a vehicle has a radio failure, they

will depart the CMA immediately and then contact ATCT as soon as possible to report they

are off the CMA.

5.3.4. AM may approve other temporary call signs in coordination with ATCT on a case-by-

case basis.

5.3.5. Vehicles operating in the CMA on a daily basis should have a permanent radio mounted

in the vehicle. A hand-held radio should be used as a backup or when communication is

required outside the vehicle.

Note: Conduct an operational radio test of the radio used to communicate with the ATCT before

entering the CMA.

5.4. Radio Phraseology.

5.4.1. To eliminate miscommunications and possibly compromising safety, it is imperative

proper phraseology be adhered to. Radio transmissions are monitored (and recorded) by AM

and ATCT at all times. Violating radio phraseology requirements can result in loss of driving

privileges.

5.4.2. All radio communications will be kept to the minimum required to accomplish the

mission. Use the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pronunciation for individual letters

and/or numbers included in radio transmissions.

5.4.3. The words CLEAR, CLEARED, or CLEARANCE will never be used by vehicles or

personnel. These words are reserved for communications between ATCT and aircraft.

5.4.4. The only word authorizing access to the CMA is PROCEED followed by ON for

entering the CMA, or OFF for exiting the CMA. HOLD-SHORT means disapproval of a

request and do not enter the CMA. CROSS or ACROSS only authorizes a vehicle to proceed

across the runway, or a taxiway. If approved to cross, do not stop within the runway or taxiway

surface without further ATCT permission.

5.4.5. It is mandatory all HOLD-SHORT or PROCEED instructions issued by Ground Control

are acknowledged by reading back the instructions to Ground verbatim. A vehicle will not


enter the CMA until instructions issued by Ground Control are read back. Vehicle operators

must listen carefully and repeat Ground Control instructions as they understand them.

5.4.6. Always ensure radios are keyed prior to beginning the transmission to prevent parts of

the communications be cut-off. Also ensure the radio mike does not have wind blowing into

it while transmitting.

5.4.7. Normal communication sequence:

5.4.7.1. Call Sign of station being called (who you are calling).

5.4.7.2. Your Call Sign (who you are).

5.4.7.3. Your Location (where you are).

5.4.7.4. Your Request (what you want to do).

5.4.8. Sample communication sequence:

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE.”

ATCT: “AIRFIELD ONE, ANDREWS GROUND.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE ON FOUR-ROW, REQUEST PERMISSION

TO PROCEED SOUTH ON TAXIWAY WHISKEY TO RUNWAY ZERO ONE LEFT.”

ATCT: “AIRFIELD ONE, PROCEED SOUTH ON TAXIWAY WHISKEY, HOLD SHORT OF

RUNWAY ZERO ONE LEFT.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE PROCEEDING SOUTH ON TAXIWAY

WHISKEY, WILL HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY ZERO ONE LEFT.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE REQUEST ACCESS TO RUN WAY ZERO

ONE LEFT AT TAXIWAY WHISKEY.”

ATCT: “AIRFIELD ONE, PROCEED ON RUNWAY ZERO ONE LEFT AT TAXIWAY WHISKEY,

REPORT WHEN OFF.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE PROCEEDING ON RUNWAY ZERO ONE

LEFT AT TAXIWAY WHISKEY, WILL REPORT WHEN OFF.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE IS OFF RUNWAY ZERO ONE LEFT AT

CHARLIE, REQUEST PERMISSION TO PROCEED SOUTH ON TAXIWAY WHISKEY TO

RETURN TO AM OPS.”

ATCT: “AIRFIELD ONE PROCEED SOUTH ON TAXIWAY WHISKEY.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE PROCEEDING SOUTH ONTAXIWAY

WHISKEY.”

Vehicle: “ANDREWS GROUND, AIRFIELD ONE IS OFF THE CONTROLLED MOVEMENT

AREA AT ROW 4.”

ATCT: “AIRFIELD ONE ROGER.”

Note: Vehicles requesting runway access for a prolonged period of time will be directed by ATCT

to switch from Ground to Local Control frequency. The preceding sample communications

sequence does not account for this. Refer to Paragraph 5.3.2.1. for additional information.


Table 5.1. Common Radio Terms.

5.5. Control Tower Light Gun Signals.

5.5.1. ATCT may use light gun signals to instruct vehicle operators if they do not receive a

response to their radio transmissions or in the event radio contact is lost. All airfield drivers

must be familiar with light gun signals and have an AFVA 11-240 (Attachment 6) in their

vehicle.

5.5.2. Light gun signals are:

5.5.2.1. Steady green light - clear to cross.

5.5.2.2. Steady red light - STOP. Vehicle will not be moved.

5.5.2.3. Flashing red light - clear active runway immediately.

5.5.2.4. Flashing white light - return to starting point.

5.5.2.5. Alternating red and green light - general warning, exercise extreme caution.

5.6. Runway Emergency Exit (Removal) Procedures.

5.6.1. In case of a complete communications equipment failure, ATCT will flash the runway

edge lights on and off to alert personnel on the runway that there is a problem. Personnel will

exit the runway immediately before attempting to reach the tower and clarify the situation.

5.6.2. If unable to make radio contact with the Tower, contact AM and advise off the runway.

AM will notify ATCT that the vehicle is off the runway and include any pertinent information

that might affect normal operations.

5.6.3. If unable to reach ATCT or AM Ops get off the runway (if on the runway) and remain

clear of any aircraft (you may need to move into the infields) and await escort or light gun

signals from ATCT.


5.7. Airfield Visual and Radio Blind Spots (see attachment 5).

5.7.1. Vehicle operators should avoid stopping in these areas unless absolutely necessary.

5.7.1.1. Visual blind spots. There are six established visual blind spots on the airfield:

5.7.1.2. Portion of the 201 AS Ramp.

5.7.1.3. Taxiway W-2 between the 201 AS Ramp and Hangar 18.

5.7.1.4. 113 WG (DCANG) Ramp.

5.7.1.5. ACA Facility.

5.7.1.6. Portions of Hangar 19 Compound.

5.7.1.7. Hangar 20 Compound.

5.7.2. Radio blind spots. There are four known areas on the airfield where intermittent radio

communication problems can be expected:

5.7.2.1. Taxiway Echo (northeast corner) prior to reaching runway 01R/19L VFR hold

line. Relay transmissions to ATCT prior to entering this area. Avoid stopping in this area

at all times, monitor radio transmissions and call for a “Radio Check” as needed.

5.7.2.2. Taxiway November between the runways. Ensure ATCT understands your

intentions prior to entering this area. If communication is lost or broken do not attempt to

cross any runways. Move onto Pad 12 or 13, remain vigilant for any aircraft movement and

contact Airfield Management immediately by any means available. Continue to try to

contact ATCT. If unable to reach ATCT or AM Ops try to get attention from ATCT,

passing vehicles or aircraft by blinking your lights and honking your horn. Await escort or

light gun signals from the tower.

5.7.2.3. Taxiway Whiskey (southwest corner) leading to Runway 01L/19R hold lines.

Relay transmissions to the Ground/Tower controller prior to entering this area. Avoid

stopping in this area at all times, always monitor radio transmission ability and call for a

“Radio Check” as needed.

5.7.2.4. Runway 01L/19R south overrun. Avoid stopping in this area at all times, always

monitor radio transmission ability and call for a “Radio Check” as needed. If radio

transmission is weak or broken exit the area and re-attempt to contact the ATCT.

Note: Radio blind spots are more prevalent when using handheld radios, especially those without

booster antennas.

Terms

Airfield—Joint Base Andrews airfield consist of all areas within the airfield perimeter fencing and

electronic gates including all runways, overruns, taxiways, aircraft parking ramps, hangars,

associated maintenance/servicing areas, buildings and roads adjacent to any portion of the airfield.

See Attachment 2.

Airfield Authorized Drivers—Personnel who have been trained and certified and have an AF

IMT 483 for Joint Base Andrews. Driving must be in the performance of official duties.

Airfield Entry Point—Access roads/points that may be used to enter the airfield.


Air Force IMT 483, Certificate of Competency—The AF IMT 483, issued by Airfield

Management, is the only document that authorizes personnel to operate a vehicle on Joint Base

Andrews airfield. The AF IMT 483 will indicate one of the following:

-(1) Restriction:Letter Designation:

-(2) CMA Authorized A

Apron—Also known as “Ramp”—Pavement used to park and service aircraft.

Circle of Safety—Area within 10 ft. of an aircraft.

Controlled Movement Area (CMA)—an airfield controlled movement area (CMA) is any

portion of the airfield that requires aircraft, vehicles and pedestrians to obtain ATC approval to

access. All vehicles operating within the CMA will maintain two-way radio contact with the

control tower, or have an escort with this capability while in the CMA. In the event of radio failure,

the CMA must be vacated immediately. The CMA consists of all runways, overruns, and taxiways

(excluding those areas listed under non-CMA). Double dashed yellow lines (Apron taxilane edge

markings) delineate the CMA between the West ramp and Taxiway W. Note: Vehicles operating

in the CMA must use rotating beacon lights or hazard/warning lights.

Non-Controlled Movement Area—The portion of the airfield used for aircraft loading, servicing

or parking. The following areas make up the non-controlled movement area: Rows 1 through 13

on the West Ramp, 201st Airlift Squadron (201 AS) ramp, Taxiways W-2, the 459th Air Refueling

Wing (459 ARW) Ramp, US Naval Air Facility Washington (NAF) Ramp, Hot Cargo Pad, Navy

Trim Pad, and the 113th Fighter Wing parking ramps.

Emergency Vehicles—Vehicles equipped with rotating beacons that respond to aircraft or airfield

emergencies; Fire Department, Ambulance, Airfield Management, Barrier Maintenance, Crash

Recovery, SFS, Mobile Command Post, etc.

Government Vehicles (GOV):—Government-owned or leased vehicles operated on the airfield

consistent with operational needs. NOTE: Government-owned golf carts, utility vehicles and

registered equipment on the airfield are classified as general purpose GOVs.

Note:—Authorization of a rental car on TDY orders does not authorize its use on the airfield. Use

aircrew transport when feasible.

Instrument Landing System (ILS) Critical Areas—Areas at both ends of the runway that must

be protected when an aircraft is on final approach, to ensure the integrity of the signal.

Mobile Obstacle—Vehicle, AGE, Equipment, etc., that is not a safe distance from or violates

aircraft or imaginary surface obstacle clearance criteria.

Overruns/Underruns—Approximately 1000 ft. of pavement on both ends of the runways.

Underruns are often used for departure.

Parked Vehicle—Vehicle that is stopped without an operator at the controls.

Runway—A paved surface used by aircraft to land and take-off.


Runway Incursion—CMAV event that involves the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or

person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft. For

the purpose of this instruction, the protected area is the same as the CMA. These are further

classified into three operational categories:

-(1) Operational Error (OE)—A failure of the Andrews Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT)

system that results in loss of separation.

-(2) Pilot Deviation (PD)—The action of a pilot that results in the violation of ATC instructions,
