REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRSIDE VEHICLE CONTROL

INTRODUCTION Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd (HIAPL) (ABN 27 080 919 777) is the owner/operator of Hobart International Airport, an aerodrome certified by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). HIAPL is also regulated by the Secretary of the Department of Infrastructure and Transport (the Secretary) through the Airports Act 1996 and the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004. Although vehicle operations on the landside of the airport are subject to the application of State regulations, vehicle operations airside impact on the safety and security of aviation activities. For this reason, the use of vehicles on airside is regulated:

for the purpose of aviation safety, by HIAPL and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority;

for the purposes of airside management and aviation safety, by HIAPL and the Secretary; and

for the purposes of aviation security, by HIAPL and the Secretary.

[Note: Appendices within this document can be issued as a separate document upon request to HIAPL.]

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

As a condition of the aerodrome certificate (and in the interests of the safety of aircraft operations), HIAPL is required by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation 139.095) to institute certain aerodrome operating procedures, including procedures for the control of persons and vehicles on or near aircraft movement areas. These operating procedures form part of the Hobart International Pty Ltd Aerodrome Handbook. The Australian Government has regulated airside vehicle control matters through the Airports Act 1996 and Part 4 of the Airports (Control of On-Airport Activities) Regulations 1997, which is administered by the Secretary. This regulation requires HIAPL, as the Airport Operator, to have and to maintain this Airside Vehicle Control Handbook which contains all the local rules and requirements for operating a vehicle on the airside of Hobart Airport. The Aviation Transport Security Act 2004, requires HIAPL and all persons using Hobart Airport to:

keep appropriate levels of safety and security on the airport; and

control access to security restricted areas of the airport.



Whilst control of vehicles on the manoeuvring area is the responsibility of Airservices Australia Air Traffic Control (Air Services Act 1995, Section 8.1 and Air Services Regulation 3.02), that control does not extend to approving a vehicle for use airside nor does it regulate the approval of persons to drive vehicles on the airside area. The “manoeuvring area” excludes the apron areas and the airside perimeter road. In short, the control of vehicles on the airside of an airport is necessary in order that HIAPL may ensure the safety of aircraft operations and persons working on the airside of Hobart Airport and for it to meet its regulatory obligations. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE HOBART INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PTY LTD HIAPL is responsible to provide airside vehicle control at Hobart International Airport by way of adequate training and appropriate administrative procedures. The prime objectives of such vehicle controls are to:

a) avoid injury to persons; b) avoid damage to property (particularly aircraft); c) ensure that priority is given to aircraft on runways, taxiways and

aprons; and d) comply with the relevant requirements of the Hobart International

Airport Transport Security Program. This Handbook, including all its attachments, is HIAPL’s airside vehicle control policy document, as required by Subsection 172 (2) of the Airports Act 1996 and referenced in the Airports (Control of On-Airport Activities) Regulations 1997. It also satisfies the requirements of the Aerodrome Manual in respect of airside vehicle control at Hobart International Airport. The intent of the requirements for airside operation of vehicles set out in this Handbook is to ensure the safe and orderly movement of passengers, aircraft and vehicular traffic. Failure to comply with the requirements of this handbook is a breach of conditions for use and to drive airside, and any such failure will be taken into account by Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd in considering whether to exclude individuals or entities from using or operating motor vehicles on the airside of Hobart Airport.

2.2 Temporary passes may be issued by HIAPL for delivery vehicles and contactor’s vehicles who only require an occasional entry permit. An example of the form issued is at Appendix “E”

2.3 HIAPL will only issue or renew an Authority for Use Airside if the applicant demonstrates:

(a) a need for the Vehicle to be operated in the area on a frequent and unsupervised basis:

(i) to provide a service which is part of, or incidental to, the operation of the Airport;

(ii) to carry out regulatory or law enforcement activities; or

(iii) any other purpose approved in writing by HIAPL; (b) a capacity to ensure that the operation of the Vehicle will

comply with the requirements of this Handbook and with all laws, rules, standards and directions including, where applicable, Civil Aviation Orders and Air Traffic Control directions, relating to the operation of Vehicles in the airside area;

and without limiting the generality of (b);

(c) that the applicant has in place appropriate arrangements to limit fire hazards in Vehicles which are to operate within 15 metres of an aircraft fuel tank opening or vent outlet during fuelling or de-fuelling;

(d) that there are in place appropriate arrangements to ensure that if the Vehicle becomes immobilised on a Movement Area, the Vehicle will be removed quickly;

(e) that there are in place appropriate arrangements to ensure that if the Vehicle becomes immobilised on a Movement Area, that the notifications required under paragraphs 1.9 and 1.10 will be given; and

(f) that the Vehicle will be maintained in a state of good repair.



[Note 1: The "appropriate arrangements" to limit fire hazards referred to in (c) will at least include capacity to ensure compliance with Civil Aviation Order 20.9 (refer to CASA website www.casa.gov.au).]

2.4 Even if the applicant satisfies the preceding provision, HIAPL is not obliged to issue or renew an Authority for Use Airside.

[Note 1: It may be that some emergency, regulatory or law enforcement authorities will have rights of access in some circumstances even without an Authority for Use Airside or Authority to Drive Airside. However, there is no general obligation on HIAPL to allow Vehicle Operators access to Airside even if they satisfy Part 2 of this Handbook.]

[Note 2: Where a Vehicle Operator plans to acquire a new type of Vehicle for Airport use, he/she should discuss the proposal with HIAPL in a timely manner in order that an assessment can be made in regard to compatibility with pavements and local geography. The type of information necessary to make such assessment of the proposed equipment will ordinarily include: - compliance with IATA standards (where applicable) - dimensions - gross mass - number, spacing and size of wheels and type of tyres and their

pressures - turning radius - motive power - areas of intended operation - special features.]

[Note 3: Where a new type of vehicle needs to be restricted to certain areas due to weight considerations, HIAPL will stipulate those restrictions.]

INDEMNITY AND RELEASE

2.5 HIAPL may not issue an Authority for Use Airside unless HIAPL has been provided with an indemnity and release in the form of Appendix "F".

EXPIRY, CANCELLATION AND SUSPENSION

2.6 Subject to this Handbook, an Authority for Use Airside is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.

2.7 HIAPL may at any time cancel or suspend an Authority for Use Airside by providing notice to the Vehicle Operator, with written notice being provided within 24 hours:

(a) that the Authority for Use Airside is cancelled; or

(b) that the Authority for Use Airside is suspended for the period specified in the notice;

as the case may be.

2.8 Within 48 hours of receipt of a notice of cancellation or suspension of an Authority for Use Airside under the previous paragraph, the Vehicle Operator must:

http://www.casa.gov.au/



EITHER

(a) surrender the Authority for Use Airside to HIAPL;

OR

(b) if the Authority for Use Airside cannot be removed from the Vehicle, destroy the Authority for Use Airside and provide HIAPL with a written statement that it has been destroyed.

2.9 At any time during a period of suspension under this Part, HIAPL may, by written notice, to the Vehicle Operator:

(a) re-issue the Authority for Use Airside for the balance of its term;

(b) cancel the Authority for Use Airside; or

(c) extend the period of suspension.

[Note: Ordinarily, if HIAPL has reason to believe that a Vehicle is not fit to be operated Airside or that there has been a breach of the requirements of this Handbook which is sufficiently serious to consider cancellation of an Authority for Use Airside, HIAPL will suspend the Authority for Use Airside first and give the Vehicle Operator an opportunity to discuss whether or not there has been a breach and whether cancellation is appropriate.

HIAPL will normally suspend an Authority for Use Airside only if HIAPL is satisfied that the Vehicle Operator has breached the requirements of this Handbook - either in relation to the Vehicle subject to the Authority for Use Airside which is being cancelled or in relation to another Vehicle where the breach in relation to that other Vehicle casts doubt on the capacity of the Operator to comply with the Handbook in relation to the Vehicle.

HIAPL’s power to suspend or cancel is not limited to situations where there is a breach of the Handbook. In some circumstances, HIAPL may consider it appropriate to suspend/cancel in order to control the number of Vehicles or Operators at the Airport for general congestion or safety reasons.]

Appendix A - RULES FOR DRIVERS OPERATING ON THE AIRSIDE

RULES FOR DRIVERS OPERATING ON THE AIRSIDE

September 2014


INTRODUCTION

This booklet, “Rules for Drivers Operating on Airside”, is an appendix to the Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd (ABN 75 754 974 669) “Airside Vehicle Control Handbook” and is issued to all drivers who operate on the airside of Hobart International Airport in an unsupervised capacity.

In order to provide the necessary safety and security requirements, no driver is permitted to operate on the airside without the approval of the Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd (HIAPL).

Persons who have a need to drive on the airside on a frequent and unsupervised basis, are required to be trained, tested and issued with an Authority to Drive Airside. Other drivers may (at the discretion of HIAPL`) be permitted airside if they are adequately supervised by appropriately authorised personnel.

There are four categories of Authority to Drive Airside: • Authority to Drive Airside Category 2 - Aprons and perimeter roads • Authority to Drive Airside Category 4 - Category 2 plus Taxiways and Runways.

Training is the responsibility of the Vehicle Operator (your employer).

Testing for the issue of an Authority to Drive Airside is conducted by HIAPL.

Full details of the management and control of vehicular traffic on the airside of the Airport are provided in the “Airside Vehicle Control Handbook”, available from the operators of vehicles at the airport and from HIAPL.

Failure to comply with the requirements of these Rules is a breach of conditions for use and to drive airside, and any such failure will be taken into account by Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd in considering whether to exclude individuals from using motor vehicles on the airside of Hobart Airport.

8.1 When driving airside, you must wear a valid Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) or a VIC with an escort.

9. AIRSIDE MARKINGS

9.1 All drivers should be familiar with the meaning and form of airside markings.

(a) Runway Strip

White gable markers mark the edge of the graded portion of the runway strip. Vehicles are not permitted to enter the graded portion of the runway strip without specific clearance from ATC.


(b) Grass Apron

A grass apron has been provided adjacent to the freight apron and is marked by yellow gables. This is provided for GA aircraft.

(c) Helicopter Training Areas

Two helicopter training areas have been provided adjacent to the western side of the runway strip. The two areas are called area Bravo and Area X-ray and are marked by white cone markers. Vehicles are not permitted to enter the Helicopter Training Areas without specific clearance from ATC.

(d) Runway Hold Points

Runway hold points are the holding points for aircraft prior to entering a runway. Vehicles are not permitted to enter the runway without specific clearance from ATC. They are identified by two solid and two broken lines painted on the pavement bordered by runway guard lights (item (e)). Of a night the line is lit by orange inset lighting.


(e) Runway Guard Lights

Runway Guard Lights border a Runway Hold Point (item (d)) as a further visual cue for the border where vehicles are not permitted passed without specific approval from ATC.

(f) Intermediate Holding Points

Intermediate Holding Points are holding points at taxiway intersections which mark the required clearance required for an aircraft to taxi past on the intersecting taxiway. They are identified by a single broken line across the taxiway.

(g) Taxiway Edge Markers

Taxiway edge markers consist of two yellow lines side by side. They mark the edge of the high strength taxiway pavement.


(h) Parking Clearance

The aircraft clearance on the apron is marked by a yellow/red/yellow lines. Vehicles positioned behind this line will be clear of aircraft taxiing along the apron edge taxiway. The lines are labelled “Parking Clearance”

(i) Equipment Storage Areas

Equipment storage areas are defined by a single red line. They define areas where vehicles and equipment may be parked clear of aircraft. Vehicles must always be parked behind these lines. The lines are labelled “Equipment Storage”.


(j) Equipment Clearance Lines

Equipment clearance lines are identified by a broken red line. They define areas where vehicles and equipment may stage while awaiting the arrival of an aircraft. Vehicles and equipment should remain behind these lines until the aircraft red anti-collision light is extinguished. The lines are labelled “Equipment Clearance”. These area should remain empty of equipment when aircraft are not taxiing to the relevant bay.

(k) Apron Service Road

The apron service road is marked by a continuous solid white edge line on either side of the road and a dotted centreline. Where the road is adjacent to taxiing aircraft, the taxiway side is marked with a continuous double white line indicating that vehicles must not cross the lines. Vehicles crossing the apron are to remain on the road at all times.


(l) Pedestrian Crossings

Pedestrian crossings are marked by white zebra crossing markings, similar to those used on the public roads. Drivers of vehicles or equipment must give way to all pedestrians on Pedestrian Crossings at all times.

(m) Enhanced Security Zone

The Enhanced Security Zone(s) are marked by a blue line labelled “Enhanced Security Zone”. The Enhanced Security Zone is the main Apron and indicates that all persons entering the apron must stop for a security check to ensure that all persons have and display an appropriate and current ASIC. The security check may also involve a vehicle search and an electronic hand search of the driver.


(n) Helicopter Aiming Point

A helicopter aiming Point has been provided on the intersection of Taxiways Hotel and Juliet. It is marked by a white circle containing a white letter “H”. Exercise caution in this area as it may be used by a helicopter to land to or depart from, instead of using the runway. If it is to be used ATC will make an advisory broadcast for all vehicles.

(o) Unserviceability Cones Markers

Do not enter unless there is an operational need to do so (if you are part of the works party). At night these areas are lit by Red lights.


(p) Limit of Works Markers

Orange Cones (Witch’s Hats) are used to mark areas on the airfield. At night these markers are supplemented by the use of red or amber lights. Use caution in areas where you see these markers and only enter these areas with permission of the Works Safety Officer or Senior Operations Office if a Works Safety Officer is not available.

10. RUNWAY INCURSIONS

10.1 Drivers of vehicles and/or equipment must be particularly alert at all times when operating on or near runways.

10.2 At no time must a runway be entered without a clearance from Air Traffic Control.

11. RADIO PROCEDURES

Introduction

11.1 Radio contact with the Tower is necessary if you intend to proceed from the Apron onto taxiways and runways (i.e. Manoeuvring Area).

11.2 You must not enter the Manoeuvring Area unless you hold a Cat 3 or 4 ADA, and have an established need to do so.

Working on the Movement Area

11.3 Once you have entered the Movement Area, you must keep a constant radio listening watch, staying alert to what is happening around you by listening to radio communications.

11.4 As soon as you are told by the Tower to vacate a runway, you must do so immediately and then notify the Tower that you are clear when you have moved behind the relevant taxiway holding position line or outside the relevant line of runway strip markers.


Transmission Techniques

11.5 The efficient use of two-way radio depends largely on microphone technique, the method of speaking and choice of words used by the operator.

11.6 You should make use of the following principles:

speak plainly and end each word clearly to prevent consecutive words “running together”

avoid any tendency to shout

avoid variations in speech intensity and unusual inflections of the voice

avoid hesitant sounds such as “er” and “um”

preserve the rhythm of ordinary conversation, avoiding long pauses but retaining oral punctuation (gaps between sentences etc.)

maintain a business-like manner and do not use colloquialisms, first names or be unduly familiar with others

if improvisation is necessary, make it brief and unambiguous (standard phraseology is best)

read each written message before transmission, in order to eliminate unnecessary delays.

Phonetic Alphabet

11.7 The International Phonetic Alphabet is used to assist in voice transmission of call signs, runway/taxiway designators and the spelling of proper names and unusual words.

11.8 The phonetic alphabet is made up of particular words to denote the letters. When used, the pronunciations as shown are to apply:


Letter Word Pronunciation Letter Word Pronunciation

VACATED I HAVE VACATED RUNWAY/TAXIWAY/AREA (not required after crossing a runway or taxiway unless asked by the Tower e.g. in poor visibility)

VERIFY CHECK AND CONFIRM WITH ORIGINATOR

Communicating with ATC

11.15 Unless you are intending to enter the runway, other than for the purpose of crossing it, you need to communicate with ATC on GROUND (or Surface Movement Control [SMC]) frequency of 121.7 MHz. When entering the runway for an inspection or other runway specific activity you need to contact ATC on TOWER frequency of 118.1 MHz.

11.16 Before transmitting, be sure the channel is clear (i.e. there are no other communications in progress) by listening out and then:

• Identify the unit you are calling “HOBART GROUND” (“Ground” is the Surface Movement Control or SMC frequency)

• Tell SMC WHO you are “THIS IS CAR (NUMBER)”

• Tell SMC WHERE you are “ON FREIGHT APRON”

• Tell SMC what you wish to do “REQUEST TO PROCEED TO TWY DELTA REMAINING CLEAR OF RUNWAY ONE TOO”

• Tell SMC other significant details “ON IMMEDIATE RECALL”

Note: It is an ATC requirement that all instructions given by ATC are “read back” (i.e. repeated back to ATC) with your call sign given last.

11.17 Entering a runway

Contact ATC on Tower frequency of 118.1 MHz:

“HOBART TOWER THIS IS CAR SIXTEEN ON TAXIWAY CHARLIE, REQUEST TO ENTER RUNWAY ONE TOO ON IMMEDIATE RECALL”


(Tower response: “Car 16 enter Runway 12 on immediate recall” or “Car 16 Hold Position”)

(Your acknowledgement: “ENTER RUNWAY ONE TOO ON IMMEDIATE RECALL - CAR SIXTEEN” or “HOLD POSITION - CAR SIXTEEN”

11.18 Crossing a runway

Contact ATC on SMC or Ground frequency of 121.7 MHz:

“HOBART GROUND - CAR SIXTEEN ON TAXIWAY DELTA REQUEST TO CROSS RUNWAY ONE TOO”

(SMC response: “Car 16 Cross Runway 12 - Expedite” or “Car 16 Hold short of Runway 12”)

(Your acknowledgement: “CROSS RUNWAY ONE TOO - CAR SIXTEEN” or “HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY ONE TOO - CAR SIXTEEN”)

Note: If your request was denied at this time and would be followed, when the runway is clear, by “Car 16, cross Runway 12”

11.19 Entering the manoeuvring area from aprons

“HOBART GROUND - TRUCK ELEVEN AT GATE WUN REQUEST TO ENTER RUNWAY ONE TWO VIA TAXIWAY DELTA ON THREE MINUTE RECALL - ESTIMATED DURATION FIVE MINUTES”

(Tower response: “Truck 11, enter Runway 12 via Taxiway Delta”)

(Your acknowledgement: “ENTER RUNWAY ONE TWO VIA TAXIWAY DELTA - TRUCK ELEVEN”)

11.20 Once you have made your initial contact with the Tower, you no longer need to address ATC as HOBART TOWER or HOBART GROUND and conversely, ATC will not advise its name each time.


11.21 Listening watch on Manoeuvring Areas

Once you have gained taxiway or runway entry, you must maintain a constant listening watch.

You should always be within hearing distance of your radio. Often, a change in wind direction or other operational factor will require the Tower to move you from your work urgently. Remember that the Tower will not interrupt your work unless it is necessary and that you are then expected to co-operate with all possible speed.

When you are directed by ATC to vacate, the Tower call is brief, e.g. “CAR 16 - VACATE RUNWAY ONE TOO”

Your immediate response is “CAR SIXTEEN VACATE RUNWAY ONE TOO”, which is your acknowledgement to the Tower that you have received and understood the message and that you are acting accordingly. You then drive clear of the runway immediately via the quickest and most practical route (which, in the wet season may invlove driving along the runway to the nearest exit taxiway.

Once you have vacated and are outside the runway strip (when on a taxiway, behind the taxi holding position markings), you call the Tower with “HOBART TOWER, CAR SIXTEEN HAS VACATED RUNWAY ONE TOO”. Hobart Tower will acknowledge “Car 16”.

11.22 Typical replies from the Tower advising you of restrictions

“CAR TWENTY THREE - HOBART GROUND - HOLD POSITION”

(Stay where you are and await further details regardless of where you are)

“CAR TWENTY-THREE - HOBART GROUND - CROSS RUNWAY ONE TWO - EXPEDITE”

(Cross Runway 12 without any delay. You must not enter Runway 12 again without approval)

“CAR NINETEEN - HOBART GROUND - HOLD POSITION - EXPECT ONE ZERO MINUTE DELAY”

(Several aircraft are on approach or taxying for departure - you may wish to try later)

“TRUCK SEVEN - VACATE RUNWAY ONE TWO”

(Regardless of what you are doing, what you have requested or what you have been cleared to do so far, move outside the runway, clear of the runway strip markers or past the holding point if vacating onto a taxiway).

You must remember to always request to cross or enter a runway, unless the Tower Controller has already specifically authorised you to do so. If you have not received an approval, you must stop at the Holding Position (clear of the runway strip) and remain there until you have permission to proceed.


11.23 The meaning of “HOLD”

The word “stop” is rarely used in radio transmissions from ATC; instead you will hear the word “HOLD”, which means “STOP”. Examples of the use of “HOLD” are:

“HOLD YOUR POSITION” (Stop where you are)

“HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY ONE TWO” (Stop clear of the runway strip)

SOME GENERAL TIPS

11.24 Before you go out onto the Movement Area:

KNOW THE PROCEDURES

KNOW THE LIGHT SIGNALS

BE PRECISE AND PATIENT

COMPLY WITH THIS HANDBOOK

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

STAY ALERT AND NEVER GO BEYOND HEARING RANGE OF YOUR RADIO

PLAN WORK CAREFULLY AND AVOID ANY TENDENCY TO RUSH WHILST AIRSIDE

NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING (EQUIPMENT OR TOOLS) ON THE MOVEMENT

AREA

NOTE: If you become confused about what is happening, leave the movement area

and consult someone about further training.

11.26 Light Signals

If you receive light signals from the Tower, respond to them promptly. The meaning of these signals may be displayed on the left hand corner of your Vehicle windscreen.

Signals and their meanings are listed hereunder:

GREEN FLASHES - Permission to cross runway or to move on a taxiway

STEADY RED - Stop immediately

RED FLASHES - Move off the runway or taxiway and watch out for aircraft
