Air-side vehicle control

To access air-side of the Kingaroy airport Council requires application to be made to the Aerodrome Co-ordinator by email info@sbrc.qld.gov

The CEO or delegate will assess the need for an individual to be granted authorised access to drive air-side at the airport.

An application form can be downloaded here.

Prior to any driver being authorised they will be trained in the proper procedures for operating a vehicle airside and given a copy of 9.0 Airside vehicle control.

As Kingaroy Aerodrome does not have scheduled air transport operations, drivers not under escort, and who are operating a vehicle airside, are trained, and inducted to -

• Hold an appropriate licence to operate the vehicle or equipment.
• Understand the terminology used to describe the movement area.
• Understand the purpose and location of all airside areas.
• Understand hazardous or prohibited areas on the airside.
• Understand the significance of Aerodrome signs and markings and
• Where appropriate, be competent in the use of radio communications equipment and understand radio instructions.

The Induction includes direct instruction by the ARO which may involve a drive within the airside or an escorted drive.

Vehicles operating air-side must:

• Hold current State registration confirming they are maintained in a roadworthy condition
• Evidence that vehicles comply with lighting and radio requirements (as applicable)
• A certificate of insurance with valid cover for the use of the vehicle within the air-side area of the aerodrome.

Aerodrome Reporting Officers can at any time inspect, or require an inspection be carried out on any vehicle or ground equipment that is operating airside.

If an inspection identifies an unsafe condition that may create a hazard to aviation safety, the vehicle can be denied access.
