base medical facility when submitting a request for a driving permit.

3.1.3.1. The unit ADPM or alternate, AAFM, AFM, or designated AM representative, will

administer the color vision check through the use of an approved vision color chart (contact

AMOPS for procedures to obtain the appropriate vision color chart). If the individual fails

the color vision check, the unit ADPM will coordinate with the hospital/clinic to determine

if a “restricted access” permit should be approved. Restricted access in these cases will

involve no-access to controlled movement areas. The AF IMT 483 will be annotated

“RESTRICTED CMA.” Note: Color vision check is not applicable to obtain industrial area

only training.

3.1.4. Individuals needing to operate government vehicles on the airfield will coordinate with

their unit Vehicle Control Officer (VCO) for applicable driving requirements.

Access Card (CAC) the responsible unit ADPM will make arrangements for manual CBT

Testing, prior to attending classroom training.

3.2.2. Scheduling Initial Airfield Driving Classroom Training: This training is scheduled

through each unit’s ADPM, alternate or unit training monitor. Training will be taught by a

certified airfield driving trainer. Training will emphasize speed limits, security,

communications and a general understanding and familiarization of the airfield. Recognition

of the areas during day and night hours is essential to ensure the driver understands their

operational boundaries and entry control points (See Attachment 2, Attachment 3 and

Attachment 4). Note: Once the classroom training has been completed, the trainee has 30 duty

days to complete all other training and submit their training paperwork to be signed by an

approval authority. Anything over the 30 day window can require completing all training again.

score), Runway Incursion Prevention test (100% required passing score), Airfield diagram test

(100% required passing score), and a Communications test (100% required passing score).

“NOTE: All test are controlled items and must be protected”.

3.2.5. Failure to obtain a passing result requires:

3.2.5.1. First failure: Material review and 5 duty day period before retesting.

3.2.5.2. Second failure: Commander/director recommendation for retest and verification

from ADPM of material review.

3.2.5.3. Third failure will result in removal from the program.

3.2.6. Testing will be at the unit level; all tests will be provided by the AAFM or AFM and

validated by Wing Safety before use.

3.2.7. Complete an airfield orientation (day and night) for flightline and a day only for

industrial area with an ADPM or an assigned trainer who possess a valid Robins AFB AF IMT

483 in the respective area of training required and the practical driving test. The individual in

training may drive the vehicle during training as long as a certified Airfield Driver is in the

vehicle. Exception: A night orientation ride is not required for industrial area licensing IAW

AFJMAN 24-306, Manual for the Wheeled Vehicle Driver, due to adequate lighting.

3.2.8. Driving Evaluation (Practical). The practical driving evaluation will consist of items

listed in this instruction under Attachment 10.

3.2.9. Once the trainee has satisfactorily completed all of the above training, the trainee will

be issued their AF IMT 483 signed by:

3.2.9.1. Flightline: The AAFM, AFM, or designated AM representative will stamp the

Form 483 valid and will annotate CMA restricted, if applicable.

3.2.9.2. Industrial Area: The ADPM or Alternate will sign the AF IMT 483 to make it

valid.

3.2.10. An AF IMT 483 stamped for flightline is valid for one year and an AF IMT 483

stamped for the industrial area is valid for three years before refresher training is required.

3.3. Airfield Driving Refresher Training. Each unit ADPM or alternate will ensure their

personnel complete the annual refresher training. The trainee will complete the refresher training

prior to the anniversary of their AF IMT 483 date of issue. Refresher training should be

accomplished through the responsible unit’s ADPM unless otherwise coordinated.


3.3.1. Refresher training requires completing the Robins Airfield Refresher Training CBT,

and a Runway Incursion Prevention written test. Proof of current state driver’s licenses will

also be checked at the time of refresher training. Documentation of refresher training will

maintained by unit ADPM in accordance with RAFBI 13-213 paragraph 2.4.6. and

Attachment 12. Note: Refresher training is annotated on the back of the AF IMT 483,

therefore DO NOT laminate the back of the AF IMT 483.

Attachment 4). No privately owned vehicles (POV) are authorized.

AF IMT 483, Certificate of Competency—The AF IMT 483 is the competency card that allows

individuals to drive on the airfield. All AF IMT 483s will be dated and numbered for accountability

(See Attachment 12).

Airfield—An area prepared for the accommodation (including and buildings, installations, and

equipment) of landing and take-off of aircraft.

Airfield Construction Crews—Companies that have contracts involving the repair, modification,

etc. of taxiways, taxilanes, runways, buildings and associated areas.

Airfield Driving Program Manager (ADPM)—An individual appointed by the unit commander

to administer the organization’s airfield driving program.

pavement areas that define location, direction and designation of runways and taxiways. They also

indicate hold short and instrument hold lines. Signs are lit for nighttime/inclement weather

operations (see Attachment 5).

Airfield Management—A function that conducts airfield inspections and checks for safety and

compliance with planning and design criteria. Plans, organizes and directs airfield activities to

include airfield construction/repairs, airfield driving program, ice/snow removal operations,

Bird/Wildlife control, etc. Procures, maintains, and produces information on safe operation of

aircraft through the national and international airspace system such as Flight Information

Publications, aeronautical charts and maps, Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), local airfield and

navigational aid status, and weather information. Process domestic and international flight plans.

Airfield Management Operations (AMOPS)—A facility located near the airfield that provides

aircrews with flight plan processing and planning services.

Airfield Manager (AFM)—Works directly for the AOF/CC and manages airfield management

facilities to ensure effective support to the base flying mission and transient aircrews.

Airfield Operations Flight Commander (AOF/CC)—Responsible for the overall

operation/services provided by the airfield operations flight in support of the wing flying mission

and in compliance with USAF and FAA guidelines.

Assistant Airfield Manager (AAFM)—the assistant to the AFM, and is responsible for

development and management of the Airfield Driving Program. Has the authority to revoke any

AF IMT 483 and have personnel removed from the airfield environment.

Airfield Driving Computer Based Training (CBT)—Air Force Flight Standards Agency

(AFFSA) Airfield Driving Training.

Clear—ATC term used between pilots and air traffic controllers, not authorized for use by

personnel operating motor vehicles on the airfield.

Contractor/Vendor—Used in reference to any individual that is not military, DOD personnel, or

deemed an airfield construction crewmember.


Controlled Movement Areas (CMA)—As defined in Airfield Operations Instructions, any

portion of the airfield requiring aircraft, vehicles and pedestrians to obtain specific Air Traffic

Control Tower (ATCT) approval for (normally via two-way radio contact with the (ATCT).

Controlled Movement Areas include but are not limited to areas used for takeoff, landing and as

required taxiing of aircraft. Note: This definition is used in lieu of “movement area” as defined in

the FAA Pilot Controller Glossary. Also called CMA

Flightline—A powered movement area which is separated by a painted solid and dashed yellow

line. The Flightline includes all runways, taxiways, taxilanes and associated airfield facilities.

Flightline and/or Industrial Area Pass—Pass issued to personnel that have a recurring mission

requirement to operate a privately owned vehicle (POV) or commercial vehicle on the airfield.

Foreign Object Debris (FOD)—An object located on the airfield that could damage an aircraft's

engine, tires, etc. This includes, but is not limited to the following: rocks, pebbles, rags, screws,

nuts, washers, bolts, safety wire, tools, paper products, cans, etc.

Hold Position Markings—At Robins, two solid and two dashed yellow lines painted

approximately 100 feet from the runway edge, which define boundary between runway and

taxiway (See Attachment 3). These are commonly referred to as VFR hold lines.

Industrial Area—The area inside the airfield boundary gates defined as the tow movement area

and is located on the solid side of the airfield marking. All aircraft movement in this area is

restricted to non-powered tow operations only. The areas outside of the towlanes will be

considered as an extension of the hangar for maintenance operations.

white, green, or red light as selected by the tower controller. The color and type of light transmitted

can be used to approve or disapprove anticipated pilot actions where radio communication is not

available. The light gun is used for controlling traffic operating in the vicinity of the airport and

on the airport movement area.

Movement Area—Runways, taxiways and other areas utilized for taxiing, air taxiing/hover

taxiing/ ground taxing, takeoff and landing of aircraft, exclusive of loading ramps and parking

areas. Taxilanes on the periphery of ramp areas are part of the movement area.

Parking Ramp/Apron—Areas where aircraft are parked, loaded and unloaded and serviced

between flights. Vehicles and aircraft operate in close proximity in these areas, so it is vital to

maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and aircraft. Always yield to aircraft and never drive

under an aircraft or its wings. Slow speed and extreme caution are required in these areas.


Ramp—Either concrete or asphalt (depending on the weight of the aircraft and the sub-base of the

ground beneath) used to park aircraft or equipment.

Runway—A defined rectangular area on an airfield prepared for the landing and takeoff of

aircraft.

Runway Incursion—Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving 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 air traffic control system that results in loss of

separation.

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

AFIs and/or FARs.

3) Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviation (V/PD)—Any entry or movement on the controlled movement

area by a vehicle (including aircraft operated by non-pilots) or pedestrian that has not been

authorized by Air Traffic Control.

Runway Incursion Prevention Working Group—A working group convened after the

occurrence of three runway incursions within a six month period. Chaired by the 78 ABW/CV,

members included are OSS/CC, AFM, Wing ADPM, ATC Chief Controller, Wing Safety, Unit

Commanders and Unit ADPMs and other organizational leadership as determined.

Shared Pass—A industrial area POV pass that is assigned to a unit and controlled by that unit and

issued by 402 AMXG ADPM Group Office.

Taxilane—Ramp space between rows of parked aircraft used to maneuver aircraft to and from

parking spots and taxiways.

Taxiway—Paved area used primarily for aircraft taxiing, towing and occasional parking.

Towlane—-Paved area primarily used for towing of aircraft

Towway—A area used to tow aircraft from one location to another or from an apron to a hangar.

Vehicle—All federal, state, local government, commercial and private vehicles. Low Speed

vehicles, used for material handling or lifting, (i.e. forklifts, tugs, golf carts, Cushman vans, mules,

etc.) bicycles/tricycles and similarly sized conveyances are also considered vehicles.

White Stop Bar—A vehicle access marking on access roads used for entry to the runway and

taxiways.

Common Used Phrases—Acknowledge message - Let me know you have received and

understand this message.

Advise Intentions—Let me know what you plan to do.

Affirmative—Yes.

Correction—An error has been made in the transmission, and the correct version follows.

Go Ahead—Proceed with your message only.


Hold/Hold Short—Phrase used during ground operations to keep a vehicle or aircraft within a

specified area or at a specified point while awaiting further clearance from the air traffic control.

How do you hear me?—Question relating to the quality of the transmission or to determine how

well the transmission is being received.

Immediately or without—Phrased used by ATC when such action delay compliance is

required to avoid an imminent situation.

Negative—“No” or “permission not granted” or that is not correct.

Out—The radio conversation is ended, and no response is expected.

Over—My radio transmission is ended, and I expect a response.

Read Back—Repeat my message to me.

Roger—I have received all of your last transmission.

Standby—Means the controller or pilot must pause for a few seconds, usually to attend to other

duties of a higher priority. Also means to wait as in “standby for clearance.” The caller should

reestablish contact if a delay is lengthy.

Unable—Indicates inability to comply with a specific instruction, request or clearance.

Wilco—I have received your message, understand it and will comply with it.

Phonetic Aviation Alphabet—. Because some letters have similar sounds, like B and P, the

international aviation industry uses the following words to reduce confusion. For example,

Taxiway B would be referred to as Taxiway Bravo on the radio. Vehicle operators must know and
