ED Decision 2021/003/R
EQUIPAGE OF VEHICLES — GENERAL
(a) An updated copy of the movement area chart of sufficient size, including hot spots, as well the visual aids configuration on the aerodrome, and areas to be safeguarded, should be readily available in the driver’s cabin of a vehicle intended to be operated in the manoeuvring area. If a vehicle is not to be operated in the manoeuvring area, the copy of the chart may be customised to provide only relevant information of the area in which the vehicle is to be operated, along with information of the adjacent areas, to improve the situational awareness of the driver.
(b) The aerodrome operator, in coordination with the air traffic services provider and, if applicable, the apron management services provider, if different, should assess in which areas of the aerodrome, except the manoeuvring area, a vehicle needs to be equipped with a radio.
The radio with which the vehicle is equipped should allow two-way communication with the air traffic services unit frequency, but also any other unit that the driver of the vehicle may need to establish contact with.
Updated information regarding the frequencies of each unit should be readily available in the driver’s cabin, as well as the frequencies that may need to be used at different areas of the aerodrome. Moreover, the call-sign of the vehicle should be available at a prominent place.
