SERA.3212
Uncertainty as to the position on the manoeuvring area at aerodromes where air
traffic services are provided
Regulation
(EU) 2024/404
a) Except
as provided for in point (b), a pilot in doubt as to the position of the
aircraft with respect to the manoeuvring area shall immediately:
(1) stop the aircraft; and
(2) simultaneously notify the appropriate air traffic services unit
of the circumstances (including the last known position).
(b) When a
pilot is in doubt as to the position of the aircraft with respect to the
manoeuvring area, but recognises that the aircraft is on a runway, the pilot
shall immediately:
(1) notify the appropriate air traffic services unit of the
circumstances (including the last known position);
(2) if able to locate a nearby suitable taxiway, vacate the runway
as expeditiously as possible, unless otherwise instructed by the air traffic
services unit; and then,
(3) stop the aircraft.
(c) A
vehicle driver in doubt as to the position of the vehicle with respect to the
manoeuvring area shall immediately:
(1) notify the appropriate air traffic services unit of the
circumstances (including the last known position);
(2) simultaneously, unless otherwise instructed by the air traffic
services unit, vacate the landing area, taxiway, or other part of the
manoeuvring area, to a safe distance as expeditiously as possible; and then,
(3) stop the vehicle.
Lost on the airfield? EASA rules mandate immediate action. Pilots unsure of their location on the maneuvering area must stop and notify air traffic control. If on a runway, vacate quickly if possible. Vehicle drivers must also notify ATC and promptly move to safety before stopping.
