Location signs have black backgrounds with yellow text and border, showing your current position.
2. What does a steady red light signal from the ATC tower mean to a ground vehicle operator?
A steady red light from the control tower is an instruction for the vehicle to stop immediately.
3. What is your responsibility regarding suspicious unattended items found on the airside?
Never touch suspicious items. Report the exact location and description to airport security.
4. What is required before a ground vehicle crosses an active runway at a controlled airport?
At a controlled airport, a vehicle must receive explicit ATC clearance — including the runway designation — before crossing any active runway.
5. To avoid confusion with similar-sounding letters over the radio, the ICAO phonetic alphabet is used. How would you correctly spell out "TAXIWAY B9"?
The word "Taxiway" is standard and does not need to be spelled out. The letter 'B' is "Bravo" in the ICAO phonetic alphabet, and the number '9' is pronounced "Niner" to avoid confusion with the number '5' (Fife).
6. What vehicles are typically prohibited from the movement area?
Personal vehicles and unauthorized commercial vehicles are prohibited. Only specifically authorized vehicles may enter.
