Is it acceptable to drive in front of a moving aircraft?

Driving in front of a moving aircraft is never acceptable due to the inherent risks involved. Aircraft are large, heavy, and have limited ability to stop or maneuver quickly compared to ground vehicles. Additionally, aircraft may have limited visibility from the cockpit, making it difficult for pilots to see ground vehicles directly in front of them. This could lead to dangerous situations, including accidents that could be catastrophic.

Prioritizing safety on the airfield is essential, and driving in front of a moving aircraft disregards crucial safety protocols meant to protect both ground vehicle operators and those aboard aircraft. Therefore, maintaining a safe distance at all times is key to preventing accidents and ensuring the continuous safe operation of airfield activities.
