GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Scope and Purpose.

1.1.1. This Department of Air Force (DAF) Instruction provides guidance for developing an airfield driving program to provide safe ground vehicle operations and pedestrian control on

DAF-owned and/or operated airfields. It outlines training requirements for all personnel (e.g., military, Department of Defense (DoD) civilians, contractors) who, as a part of their job, are required to drive on an airfield. Where applicable, the host wing commander or equivalent must ensure guidance outlined in the wing or base supplement to the DAFI addresses any unique applicability conditions (e.g., signed Memorandum of Agreement, Memorandum of

Understanding, support agreement) to ensure compliance and support from non-DAF organizations or functions (e.g., other military services, federal or state agencies, host nation, contract, commercial companies or offices) that operate vehicles on DAF-owned and/or operated airfields. (T-2).

1.1.2. Personnel who operate a vehicle on the airfield need to be knowledgeable of and comply with the procedures outlined in this instruction and wing or base supplement.

1.1.3. In today’s complex airfield environment, there are incidents involving aircraft, pedestrians, and ground vehicles at DAF airfields that lead to property damage and personnel injury. Therefore, strict adherence to the procedures in this instruction is essential to preventing aircraft-vehicle mishaps and personnel injury on the airfield.

1.1.4. Shared-Use Airfields. Airfield Management personnel at shared-use airfields (i.e. Air

National Guard, Air Force Reserve units) should work with the civil airport manager to develop and implement an airfield driving program as applicable.

1.1.5. Contingency Locations. Contingency is defined as a situation requiring military operations in response to natural disasters, terrorists, subversives, or as otherwise directed by appropriate authority to protect United States interests. At contingency locations, outside the

United States, the senior airfield authority (SAA) is delegated authority to waive Tier 3 compliance requirements in this instruction to support tactical or combat operations and situations. Authority shall not be further delegated. (T-1). The SAA ensures the following actions are accomplish prior to waiver approval:

1.1.5.1. Conduct a risk management assessment with the rationale for the waiver and explain (1) how complying with the requirement or compliance item impacts mission accomplishment, OR (2) cost of compliance (training, funds, equipment, facilities, guidance or manpower) creates unacceptable risk to a higher priority task; OR (3) expected cost of compliance outweighs the benefit; OR (4) personnel cannot comply with the requirement due to a lack of resources (training, funds, equipment, facilities, guidance or manpower). Note: Waiver may be approved for a period not to exceed the requested waiver period or 30 calendar days after the approving commander’s deployment length, whichever is shorter. Because waivers are the expression of a specific commander accepting risk, approved waivers automatically expire 30 calendar days after a change unless the new commander renews the waiver.

AFI13-213 4 FEBRUARY 2020 7

1.1.5.2. Forward proposed waivers to the Air Force Forces (AFFOR) staff or equivalent for an operational review if time permits, or at the discretion of the SAA.

1.1.5.3. Refer to Air Force Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (AFTTP) 3-4.4, Contingency Airfield Operations (CAO) for additional information. This AFTTP outlines how AFFOR open and operate a deployed or contingency airfield. This AFTTP volume also contains planning considerations for airfield management, air traffic control, and deployable air traffic control and landing systems (DATCALS) capabilities, procedures, forces, and equipment.

1.2. Waivers.

1.2.1. Units shall use the Air Force Form 679, Air Force Publication Compliance Item Waiver

Request/Approval to process waivers to this instruction. (T-1).

1.2.2. All waiver requests to this instruction must be reviewed and coordinated on by the Wing or Garrison Airfield Driving Program Manager (ADPM), Airfield Operations Flight

Commander (AOF/CC) or civilian equivalent, Wing Safety and major or field command OPR for AO prior to submission to the appropriate Tier waiver approval authority. (T-1).

1.2.3. Units must include a risk management assessment with the rationale for the waiver and explain (1) how complying with the requirement or compliance item impacts mission accomplishment, (2) cost of compliance (training, funds, equipment, facilities, guidance or manpower) creates unacceptable risk to a higher priority task; OR (3) expected cost of compliance outweighs the benefit; OR (4) personnel cannot comply with the requirement due to a lack of resources (training, funds, equipment, facilities, guidance or manpower). (T-1). If deemed necessary, submit additional data (e.g., letters of procedure, airspace maps, traffic patterns, airfield diagrams) to substantiate the waiver request. Note: Tier 1, 2, and 3 waivers may be approved for a period not to exceed the requested waiver period or 90 calendar days after the approving commander’s tour length, whichever is shorter. Because waivers are the expression of a specific commander accepting risk, approved waivers automatically expire 90 calendar days after a change unless the new commander renews the waiver.

1.2.4. Units must provide an informational copy of all Tier 3 approved waivers to major or field command OPR for AO. (T-2).

1.2.5. The requesting office unit commander must forward a copy of the approved waiver

(e.g., AF Form 679 or equivalent) to the Air Force Flight Standards, Airfield Operations

Directorate (AFFSA/XA) workflow at hqaffsa.xa@us.af.mil within 30 calendar days of approval for situational awareness and process improvement considerations. (T-1).

1.2.6. Approved waivers become part of the approver’s and requestor’s official records and are appropriately filed in accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 33-322. (T-1).
