PURPOSE
 The purpose of the Basic Airfield Vehicle
Operator’s Indoctrination Course (AVOIC) is to
ensure all individuals who operate vehicles and
support equipment are properly trained so they can
safely communicate and operate on MCAS Cherry
Point’s Airfield.
Course Overview
 Classroom
 Airfield Tour and Practical application
 Pass a written exam with an 80% or better
Control Tower
 Facility that uses
air/ground
communications, visual
signals and other devices
to provide ATC services
to aircraft and vehicles
operating on or in the
vicinity of the airfield
Non-movement
 Non-Movement Area- Areas on an airfield not
under the control of ATC. (aircraft parking ramps)
 Vigilance is required as to not run into parked
aircraft, aircraft engine starts, etc.
Movement Area
 Runways, taxiways and other areas of an airport which are
utilized for aircraft operations.
 Approval for entry onto the movement area must be obtained
from the control tower.
 Airfield vehicle operators license required.
Operating on movement areas
 Never operate any vehicle on the airfield movement areas without
establishing two way communications with the control tower.
 Only operate in areas authorized by the Control Tower.
 Anytime you become disoriented, hold your position and ask for
guidance from the Tower.
 Give way to all emergency vehicles responding to an emergency.
 Maintain radio discipline at all times.
 After receiving authorization, look both ways before crossing a
runway.
 Airport speed limit is 15 MPH. 5 MPH when towing an aircraft.
 EXPEDITE movement on runway areas.
 While operating on the airfield, operate hazards and flashing lights.
 During the hours of darkness, be careful to operate headlights so not
to blind pilots.
Runways
 Runway- A defined rectangular area where aircraft
operations are conducted (takeoffs and landings).
 Duty Runway- The runway in use by ATC.
 Runway markings are WHITE.
 Runway lights are WHITE.
Runway

Communications
 Radios can be checked out for a 10 hour period from Airfield Base
Operations.
 The ATC Ground Controller is responsible for all movement of
vehicles on the airfield movement areas.
 Make requests as simple and direct as possible.
 The number of vehicles simultaneously operating on the airfield can
cause the FM frequency to be congested. In addition, the controllers are
not just talking to vehicles, they are responsible for the entire ground
movement. If the tower doesn’t answer you immediately, they may be
talking to aircraft or issuing clearances on a different frequency.
Operating terms
 Acknowledge – Let me know you have received and understand this
message.
 Advise intentions – Tell me what you plan to do.
 Affirmative – Yes.
 Confirm – My version is…is that correct?
 Correction – An error has been made in the transmission and the
correct version follows.
 Go ahead – State your request (never means “proceed”).
Hold – Stop where you are.
 Hold short of … - Proceed to, but hold short of a specific point.
 Negative – No, or permission not granted, or that is not correct
 Proceed – You are authorized to begin or continue moving.
 Read back – Repeat my message back to me.
 Roger – I have received all of your last transmission.
 Say again – Repeat what you just said.
Standby – Wait…I will get back to you. The caller should reestablish
contact if the delay is lengthy.
 Unable – I can’t do it.
 Verify – Request confirmation of information.
 Wilco – I have received your message, understand it, and will comply.
 Without Delay - Instruction from ATC to expedite the movement of
an aircraft or vehicle.
 Expedite - Term used by ATC when prompt compliance is required to
avoid the development of an imminent situation.
Phraseology
 When operating on the airfield, use clear, concise and correct
phraseology.
 Know your vehicle call sign and speak clearly, distinctly and know
exactly what you want to say.
 Be absolutely sure you understand what the Control Tower has said.
If you are unsure of any part, hold your position and request the tower to
repeat their instructions.
 There are four basic steps: 1) identify who your calling and who you
are, 2) wait for the tower to respond, 3) State your request and your
position, and 4) read back exactly what the tower authorized you to do.
Phraseology Example
Driver - “Ground, Cherry Alpha”.
**Wait for a response**
Tower - “Cherry Alpha, Cherry Point Ground”
Driver - “Ground, Cherry Alpha is at the base of the tower, requesting
permission to proceed across Runway 5 to Charlie Taxiway”.
Tower - “Cherry Alpha, Ground, proceed up to and hold short of
Runway 5 abeam Charlie Taxiway”.
Driver - “Ground, Cherry Alpha is proceeding up to and will hold short
of Runway 5 abeam Charlie Taxiway”.
**PROCEED**
Driver - “ Cherry Point Ground, Cherry Alpha is holding short of
Runway 5”.
Tower - “Cherry Alpha proceed across Runway 5 to Charlie Taxiway”.
Driver - “Ground, Cherry Alpha is proceeding across Runway 5 to
Charlie Taxiway”.
**PROCEED**
Driver - “Ground, Cherry Alpha is clear of Runway 5 on Charlie
Taxiway”.
Tower – “Cherry Alpha Roger”.
* Runway incursions are the number one airfield hazard to pilots and air
traffic controllers. FAA standards direct that all ATC hold short
instructions SHALL be read back verbatim.

Lost Communications
 Prior to entering the movement area:
• Check your radio, re-attempt.
• Get another radio.
*** Vehicles shall not enter a movement area without two way
communication with the tower.
 While on the movement area:
• Check your radio.
• Point vehicle at the tower and flash head lights.
• Hold your position, tower will send out an assistance vehicle.
Closed Field Procedures
 Cross perpendicular to the runway.
 Do not cut across the center mat.
 Look both ways for any landing or departing aircraft.
 Broadcast your intentions on Ground Control frequency in the blind.
Example: “(call sign) broadcasting in the blind, crossing runway five
right from the base of the tower to the PAR site.”
 Cross the runway.
 After crossing the runway, broadcast on frequency 140.1 that you are
clear of the runway.

Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
FOD
 Foreign Object Damage (FOD) is damage to aeronautical equipment
caused by an object external to that equipment.
 FOD to aircraft, engines, support equipment, and other aeronautical
equipment is a costly problem which cannot be overstated.
 Ingestion of foreign objects by gas turbine engines accounts for the
largest percentage of premature engine removals from naval aircraft.
FOD presents personnel and material hazards, consumes valuable
maintenance man-hours, imposes additional unscheduled workloads on
both using and supporting activities, creates shortages, wastes dollars,
and reduces operational readiness.
 Most FOD can be attributed to poor housekeeping, facility
deterioration, improper maintenance practices or carelessness.
Vehicles and FOD
 Vehicles transiting the aircraft operating surfaces carry the ingredients
for FOD.
 Tires pick up rocks and deposit them on the runways.
 Mud caked on the vehicle can fall off and create a hazard.
 Bolts, fasteners and other hardware are often found to be culprits in a
FOD investigation.
 Material carried in the back of pickup trucks or on the back of stake
beds can find its way to the runway surface.
FOD Prevention
 Stop and check your vehicle before you enter an active aircraft
operating area such as a taxiway or runway.
 Examine the vehicle for anything that may fall off such as caked on
mud or other debris. This includes the bed.
 Check your tires for material caught in the tread. Any debris found
must be removed, collected and properly disposed of.
 Inspect the vehicle each time you enter an active area from an inactive
area.
 When on the movement area, report any observed FOD to the Tower.
 Routinely watch for FOD on parking ramps, turn up areas, work
spaces, taxiways, test cell areas, and runways. Pick up the material and
dispose of it properly.
 Clean up your work area. Account for each tool, each item of support
equipment, and consumable used in the repair of items on the airfield.
 A washer left on a runway can easily do 1.5 million dollars in damage.
