GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Scope and Purpose.

1.1.1. This AFI provides guidance for developing an Airfield Driving Program (ADP) to provide safe ground vehicle operations and pedestrian control on USAF owned and/or operated airfields. It outlines training requirements for all personnel (e.g. military, DoD

Civilians, Contractors, etc.) who, as a part of their job, are required to drive unescorted on an airfield.

1.1.2. Personnel required to drive on the airfield must be knowledgeable of and comply with the procedures outlined in this AFI and locally developed Airfield Driving Instruction (ADI).

For the purpose of this AFI, the ADI is a wing or base level instruction.

1.1.3. In today’s complex airfield environment, there are incidents involving aircraft, pedestrians, and ground vehicles at USAF airfields that lead to property damage and personnel injury. One of the most hazardous incidents for an airfield driver to be involved with is a runway incursion. A runway incursion occurs when an aircraft, vehicle or person enters the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft without approval from Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). Runway incursions have the potential to result in aircraft endangerment and loss of life. While there are several factors involved in a runway incursion, the leading causes of these incidents result from a failure to follow procedures, inadequate vehicle operator training, and loss of situational awareness.

Therefore, strict adherence to the procedures in this AFI is essential to preventing aircraft-vehicle mishaps and personnel injury on the airfield.

1.1.4. Shared-Use Airfields. Airfield Management (AM) personnel at shared-use airfields

(e.g. Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve units) must work with the civil airport manager to develop and implement local airfield driving procedures where applicable.

1.1.5. Contingency Locations. At contingency locations, the Senior Airfield Authority

(SAA) or equivalent, may authorize deviations to airfield driving procedures outlined in this

AFI to support tactical or combat operations/situations. Authority must not be delegated.

1.1.5.1. In the interest of safety to airfield and flight operations, deviations to this AFI should be by exception only and include a Risk Management assessment. Factors to consider for deviations include but are not limited to the length of time the operation has been in place and available resources.

1.1.5.2. If time permits, or at the discretion of the SAA or equivalent, forward proposed deviations to the MAJCOM OPR for AO, or equivalent, for an operational review.

1.1.5.3. Provide the MAJCOM OPR for AO, or equivalent, an informational copy of approved deviations to assist with establishing compliance priorities, providing oversight, and developing area of responsibility execution activities.

1.2. Waivers, Recommended Changes and Issuing New Airfield Driving Policy or

Procedures.

1.2.1. Waivers.

AFI13-213 1 JUNE 2011 5

1.2.1.1. Waiver Authority. HQ AFFSA/A3A will provide waivers to this instruction only upon an official MAJCOM OPR for AO request when a requirement makes a waiver necessary or compliance with creates a hazard. HQ AFFSA/A3A grants waivers to this

AFI for a period not to exceed two years.

1.2.1.2. Waiver Process. AF IMT 4058, Airfield Operations Policy Waiver will be used to request waivers to this instruction. If additional space is required, annotate on plain bond paper and submit along with the form. Number each comment with the corresponding block number. In addition, units will submit an Operational Risk

Management (ORM) Assessment in accordance with AFPAM 90-902, Operational Risk

Management (ORM) Guidelines and Tools or alternate risk mitigation procedures with all waiver requests.

1.2.1.2.1. All waiver requests to this instruction must be reviewed/coordinated on by the Wing Airfield Driving Program Manager (Wing ADPM), Airfield Operations

Flight Commander (AOF/CC) and Wing Safety.

1.2.1.2.2. The AOF/CC forwards the AF IMT 4058 through the Senior Operational

Commander (e.g., OG/CC) to the MAJCOM OPR for AO, who will then review/coordinate and send to HQ AFFSA.

1.2.1.2.3. Submit additional data (e.g., Letters of Procedure (LOP), airfield diagrams, etc.) to substantiate the waiver request as required.

1.2.1.3. Submit waiver renewal requests to HQ AFFSA No Later Than (NLT) 30 days prior to expiration.

1.2.2. Recommended Changes. Use the AF IMT 847, Recommendation for Change of

Publication to submit recommended changes to this AFI. Recommended changes must be coordinated on by the Wing ADPM, AOF/CC and host Wing/CC or equivalent then forwarded to the MAJCOM OPR for AO. The MAJCOM OPR for AO will review/coordinate on proposed changes prior to forwarding to HQ AFFSA/A3A for final disposition.

1.2.3. Issuing New Airfield Driving Policy or Procedures. In accordance with AFI 33-360, Publications Management Program, a Guidance Memorandum (GM) or Interim Change (IC) will be used to prescribe procedures and guidance pending revision of this AFI. New USAF procedures/guidance will be distributed through the MAJCOM OPR for AO. GMs and ICs will be posted on the AFDPO website until formalized in this publication.
