Who determines the speed limits on the airfield?

The installation commander is responsible for determining the speed limits on the airfield. This authority stems from their overarching role in ensuring safe operational practices and adherence to regulations within the airfield environment. They establish and enforce policies that contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of airfield operations, including setting appropriate speed limits for vehicles.

By delegating specific functions to various personnel within the airport operations framework, the installation commander can effectively manage the complexities of airfield traffic. This role includes engaging with air traffic control, security personnel, and the aircraft operations manager to ensure that all aspects of the airfield are coordinated and compliant with safety standards.

In summary, the installation commander's role is pivotal in maintaining a safe airfield environment, which includes the establishment of speed limits necessary for vehicle operation in proximity to aircraft and airfield operations.
