What is the consequence of excessive speeding in the maneuvering area?

Excessive speeding in the maneuvering area is a serious violation as it poses significant safety risks to both personnel and aircraft. The maneuvering area is where aircraft operate, and maintaining a safe speed is crucial to ensure that all vehicles and aircraft can navigate without incidents.

Being disqualified from operation reflects the severity of the infraction because it underscores the importance of adhering to established speed limits, which are designed to protect everyone in the area. A disqualification serves as a strong deterrent against reckless behavior and reinforces the need for operators to prioritize safety over convenience.

In contrast, warning letters, temporary permit suspensions, or mandatory additional training options may be more appropriate for lesser offenses. However, excessive speeding is seen as a direct threat to safety, warranting the more severe consequence of disqualification. This enforcement policy emphasizes the commitment to maintaining a safe operational environment in the airside areas of an airport.
