What should AVOP holders do when operating near aircraft?

Maintaining a safe distance and adhering to the instructions from ground crew is essential for AVOP holders when operating near aircraft. This practice ensures the safety of both personnel and aircraft. The ground crew is specifically trained to manage the operations on the airside and provide critical information regarding aircraft movements, which is crucial in preventing accidents or incidents.

Their instructions often include guidance on the safe distances to maintain, as well as any specific actions required due to the presence of an aircraft or other vehicles. By following these directives, AVOP holders contribute to a safer working environment and help avoid potential collisions or other hazardous situations that could arise from reckless operation near aircraft.

In contrast, options that suggest driving quickly or parking close to the aircraft disregard safety protocols and could lead to dangerous situations, while ignoring ground crew instructions undermines their authority and could directly result in accidents or operational disruptions. Following safety procedures and crew guidance is paramount for ensuring that the airside operations run smoothly and safely.
