What should personnel do if they do not have two-way radio contact while in a controlled movement area?

Personnel should wait for an escort with a radio if they do not have two-way radio contact while in a controlled movement area. This protocol is crucial for maintaining safety and ensuring effective communication within the airfield environment. Controlled movement areas often involve critical operations where coordination is essential to prevent accidents and conflicts with aircraft or other vehicles.

Seeking an escort allows personnel to ensure they are guided safely and that their movements are known to air traffic control and other relevant teams. This minimizes risks by ensuring that someone with appropriate communication capabilities is present to navigate the area safely and convey necessary information as required.

The other choices do not adhere to safety protocols and could lead to dangerous situations. For instance, leaving the area immediately may lead to uncontrolled movement in a high-traffic environment, while continuing operations without proper communication can result in miscoordination and potential accidents. Seeking permission from nearby personnel may not guarantee the necessary situational awareness or authority needed to safely operate within a controlled area.
