Airfield Driver Training

Under FAR Part 139.329 it is the responsibility of the Airport to develop and implement a training program for the safe and orderly access to, and operation in, movement areas and safety areas by pedestrians and ground vehicles.  The Driver Training Handbook (Updated 01-2011) provides Airport employees, tenants, contractors, and users with the knowledge necessary for safe pedestrian and ground vehicle operations in the Airport Operations Area (AOA).  Initial training is provided to new hires and contractor employees who, by the nature of their work, will require access to the AOA.  Recurrent training is conducted on an annual basis, or as often as necessary, to ensure that individuals maintain a satisfactory level of proficiency.  The training days and times are as follows:

All training classes will be held in the Airport Training Room and are done by appointment only due to each class being capped at eight (8) attendees.
