What is required before driving on the airfield?

Driving on an airfield involves specific operational protocols to ensure safety and security. It requires not only a valid driver’s license but also comprehensive training relevant to airfield conditions and regulations. Completing an Airfield Driver's Course equips an individual with the necessary knowledge about airfield operations, safety measures, and emergency procedures, which are essential due to the unique hazards present in airfield environments.

Additionally, authorization to enter the airfield is crucial to ensure that only permitted personnel are driving in restricted areas. This authorization ensures compliance with security measures. Finally, an initial airfield driver's check ride allows for assessment of the individual’s driving skills and their understanding of airfield specific rules, ensuring that they can safely navigate the area.

The combined requirement of these elements is essential to maintain safety and security on the airfield, thus making this the accurate and comprehensive response.
