4.3 To Cross a Runway
4.3.1 Drivers should note carefully the position to which they may proceed, particularly
where the intended route involves crossing a runway. Some aerodromes may have
procedures that will allow vehicles to proceed to a holding point on the movement
area and then request runway crossing instructions. Under no circumstances shall a
driver cross a runway unless
positive permission has been given and
acknowledged. A runway vacated report should not be made until the vehicle (and
tow) is clear of the designated runway area.
4.3.2 In order to prevent unauthorised runway incursions, when an ATS Unit issues an
instruction to cross a runway, the appropriate holding point designator shall be
included in the instruction. A vehicle driver should query any instruction that identifies
a holding point designator inconsistent with the vehicle location, or the driver’s
request, before proceeding onto the runway.
Where it is not possible for the controller to issue permission to cross the runway,
alternative instructions may be given.
