What is one requirement for operating a vehicle in airside movement areas?

Having an Airside Vehicle Operator's Permit (AVOP) is essential for operating a vehicle in airside movement areas. The AVOP is a specialized permit that ensures the operator has received the necessary training and knowledge about the specific procedures, safety protocols, and regulations associated with working in areas where aircraft are maneuvered. This training includes understanding the layout of the airfield, the various types of vehicles that may be encountered, and how to safely operate equipment in a high-risk environment. Possessing an AVOP is critical for maintaining safety standards and ensuring that operators are equipped to handle the unique challenges presented by airside operations.
