GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Scope and Purpose.

1.1.1. Department of Air Force Instruction (DAFI) 13-213 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.

1.1.2. Personnel who operate a vehicle on the airfield need to be knowledgeable of and comply

with the procedures outlined in DAFI 13-213, Airfield Driving, and this instruction.

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.

1.2. 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.

1.2.2. All waiver requests to this instruction must be reviewed and coordinated on by the Wing

Airfield Driving Program Manager (WADPM), 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.

1.2.3. Units must include a risk management assessment with the rationale for the waiver and

explain how (1) 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). If deemed

necessary, submit additional data (e.g., letters of procedure (LOP), 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 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.

374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024 7

1.2.5. The requesting office Unit Commander must forward a copy of the approved waiver to

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

Directorate (AFFSA/XA) workflow at [email protected] within 30 calendar days of

approval for situational awareness and process improvement considerations.

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.

Chapter 4

OPERATING PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS

4.1. General. This chapter outlines the general operating procedures and standards to ensure

maximum safety precautions are taken while operating in the airfield environment. Waivers to this

section should be kept at an absolute minimum.

4.1.1. Due to single lane, narrow driving between some aircraft and the edge of the airfield

restricted area, the following lanes are one-way traffic:

4.1.1.1. Parking spots E8 – E10, D7 – D10, D11, D13, D15, D17, D19, D21, and D23 are

one way only, south to north, on the narrow lane between the aircraft and the infield. All

vehicle movement around the aircraft will be in a counterclockwise direction around those

parking spots. Utilize the paved shoulder between these parking spots to the maximum

extent possible.

4.1.1.2. Parking spots D12, D14, D16, D18, D20, D22, and D24 are one way only, south

to north on the narrow lane between the aircraft and the airfield service road. All vehicle

movement in the vicinity of these parking spots (applicable for both left- and right-hand

drive vehicles) will be in a counter clockwise direction.

4.1.1.3. Do not park vehicles or equipment on the airfield between the wingtip clearance

line and taxiway centerline.

4.1.1.4. Do not operate vehicles behind C-5 or B-747 type aircraft closer than 300 feet

when engines are running at low power settings, and not closer than 800 feet when the

engines are operating at high power settings. Note: Do not drive or traverse behind any

aircraft performing engine testing runs.

4.1.2. Do not use radio call signs similar to aircraft call signs used in the local area. Use of

similar-sounding call signs causes confusion and can become a hazard to flight safety for

aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome and ATCT personnel monitoring airfield radios and

ATC radios simultaneously. For approved call signs, see Attachment 10.

4.2. Operating a Vehicle in the CMA.

4.2.1. No vehicle operator or pedestrian shall enter the CMA without specific approval from

the ATCT. Note: Vehicles and pedestrians with a qualified escort meet this requirement. See

paragraph 4.23.

4.2.2. Vehicle operators and/or pedestrians must read back all ATCT instructions verbatim.

4.2.3. Vehicle operators and/or pedestrians must always monitor the appropriate radio

frequency when in the CMA.

4.2.4. Vehicle operators must use light emitting diode or rotating beacon lights and/or

emergency or hazard warning flashers when driving in the CMA.

4.2.5. Vehicles operating in the CMA on a daily basis will have a permanent radio mounted

in the vehicle to communicate with the ATCT. A hand-held radio should only be used as a

backup or when communication is required outside the vehicle. Note: Vehicle operators must

conduct an operational test of the radio before entering the airfield.

374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024 23

4.2.6. Vehicle operators and/or pedestrians operating on the CMA must use a distinct,

approved call sign (e.g., Airfield 1, Chief 1, Sweeper 1, or Transient Alert 1) coordinated by

the WADPM to avoid duplicating, confusing, or different agencies using similar names. To

avoid confusion that could lead to runway incursions or CMAV, do not use a call sign that is

part of air traffic control phraseology such as “Taxi” and/or the phonetic aviation alphabet.

Additionally, call signs that incorporate the names and/or numbers of aircraft movement areas

associated with the airfield environment must not be used (e.g., taxiway, ramp, alpha, bravo,

or one-eight). Approved call signs are annotated in Attachment 10 of this instruction.

4.2.7. Unconditional instructions (blanket approval) to vehicles requesting entry on the

runway shall not be authorized. See Federal Aviation Administration Order 7110.65, Air

Traffic Control, for additional information.

4.2.8. Restrict runway crossing to vehicle operators performing mission essential duties and

then only to an absolute minimum. Note: When crossing a runway is required during flying

operations, the preferred crossing point is the departure end.

4.3. Emergency removal or exit of vehicles and/or pedestrians in the event of vehicle or Air

Traffic Control Tower radio failure.

4.3.1. ATCT will flash the runway edge lights on and off to alert vehicle operators and/or

pedestrians on the runway that there is a problem and/or emergency that requires them to

immediately exit the runway.

4.3.2. All vehicle operators and/or pedestrians must exit the runway immediately.

4.3.2.1. Contact ATCT and AM immediately and advise when off the runway and include

any pertinent information that might affect safe runway operations.

4.3.2.2. If not able to communicate with ATCT or AM via radio, use other means of

communication such as a cellular phone (when available). Report incident to AM

immediately.

4.4. Airfield Driving Visual Aids/Decals. All vehicles that operate on the airfield must contain

the following Air Force Visual Aid/decals and diagrams:

4.4.1. DAFVA 11-240, USAF Airport Signs and Markings. Note: The ground vehicle guide

to airport signs & markings dashboard or visor Sticker is the Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA) equivalent to DAFVA 11-240 and may be used by units located at shared-use airfields.

4.4.2. DAFVA 13-222, Runway/Controlled Movement Area (CMA) Procedures.

4.4.3. A current locally developed airfield diagram (provided by WADPM).

4.4.4. Hot spots when depicted on a different airfield diagram.

4.4.5. Decals may be permanently affixed in plain view of the driver or clipped to the inside

of the sun visor on the driver’s side of the vehicle so it can be flipped down for ready reference.

24 374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024

4.5. Airfield Signs.

4.5.1. Mandatory Sign. A mandatory sign has a white legend on red background and

provides an instruction that must be followed. They denote an entrance to a runway or critical

area, or other situation such as a no-entry location. At controlled airfields (with active tower),

aircraft and vehicles are required to hold at the holding position unless cleared by ATCT. At

uncontrolled airfields, the intent is that traffic may only proceed beyond the sign after

appropriate precautions are taken by the pilot and vehicle operators.

4.5.2. Taxiway Guidance and Informational Signs. These include direction signs,

destination signs, other informational signs, and boundary signs.

4.5.2.1. Taxiway Direction Sign. This sign has a black legend on a yellow background

and always contain arrows oriented to the approximate direction of the turn. These signs

indicate directions of other taxiways leading out of an intersection.

4.5.2.2. Taxiway Location Sign. This sign has a yellow legend on black background and

identifies the taxiway on which an aircraft or vehicle operator is located.

4.5.2.3. Destination Sign. This sign indicates the general direction to a remote location.

4.5.2.4. Boundary Sign. This sign indicates important boundaries such as Instrument

Landing System critical areas and runway approach areas.

4.5.2.5. Other signs are used to provide specific information such as noise abatement

procedures, check points, and others.

4.5.3. Runway Exit Sign. A runway exit sign is located prior to the runway/taxiway

intersection on the side and in the direction from which the aircraft is expected to exit.

4.5.4. Examples of mandatory and informational signs are included in Attachment 3.

4.6. Airfield Markings. Airfield markings vary greatly depending on location. The following

are common markings present at most DAF owned and/or operated airfields.

4.6.1. Runway Markings. Runway centerlines are marked with retro-reflective white paint

at uniform intervals in the center of the runway. Runway designations are white numeric

characters that indicate the lateral position of the runway. Where applicable, the runway side

stripe is marked with a solid white line running the length of the runway.

4.6.2. Taxiway and Apron Markings. Unless otherwise indicated, most taxiway, apron, and

taxi-lane markings for both fixed and rotary-wing facilities are marked in retro-reflective

yellow. All markings of any color on light-colored pavement are optionally highlighted by

marking a black, non-reflective border.

4.6.3. Visual Flight Rules Hold Position. Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Hold Position markings

are located at least 100 feet from the edge of the runway on all taxiways leading to the runway

and consist of four parallel yellow stripes (two solid and two dashed) perpendicular to the axis

of taxiway centerline, extending across taxiway with the dashed lines on the runway side.

These lines mark the boundary of the CMA. Vehicle operators and/or pedestrians shall not

cross the runway hold position or proceed onto the runway without first obtaining permission

from the ATCT.

374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024 25

4.6.3.1. Yokota Air Base VFR Hold Position markings will be outlined in the local airfield

diagram.

4.6.4. Instrument Hold Positions. These markings are normally placed farther from the

runway than the VFR Hold Position. These markings consist of two solid yellow lines, two

feet apart, extending across width of taxiway, connected by pairs of solid yellow lines ten feet

apart, on black background. Hold positions are used during Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

conditions or instrument approach procedures. IFR Hold Positions protect Instrument Landing

System (ILS) Critical Areas to ensure an aircraft’s instrument reception is not disrupted during

flight. These hold positions are used any time the weather falls below a ceiling less than 800

feet and/or visibility less than 2 miles.

4.6.4.1. Yokota Air Base instrument hold positions will be outlined in the local airfield

diagram.

4.6.5. CMA Holdline. These markings denote an area of the airfield that requires ATCT

permission to enter. This marking consists of two parallel yellow stripes (one solid and one

dashed) perpendicular to the axis of taxiway centerline of one solid yellow line, extending

across width of taxiway.

situation that requires the runway to be free of vehicles, the ground vehicle operator will utilize

best judgment and depart the runway immediately at the nearest taxiway.

4.8.5.1. Drivers should assume a prudent and reasonable speed depending on nature of

business on the runway as well as weather conditions.

4.8.6. Perimeter Road (McGuire/Walker) 24-37 miles per hour/40-60 kilometers per hour

maximum or as posted. It is expressly forbidden for any vehicle to use the runway as a shortcut

to any point on or off the airfield that is accessible by roads outside the airfield environment.

Perimeter roads provide vehicle access from one area of the airfield to another. Even though

the travel distance and time may be longer, ALWAYS use a perimeter road when it is available.

This does not apply to emergency response vehicles responding to emergencies, AM, or Wing

Safety conducting airfield inspections and/or responding to airfield incidents (Bird Aircraft

Strike Hazard [BASH], FOD, intrusions, coordinate closers, etc.). Note: Do not enter or cross

4.11.4. Do not park AGE or vehicles within any runway, taxiway, taxi lane, or apron obstacle

clearance distances.

4.12. Control Tower Light Gun Signals. Air traffic controllers use a light gun as a backup

system for communicating with aircraft or ground vehicles if their radios stop working. When a

vehicle operator experiences a radio failure on a runway or taxiway, vacate the runway as quickly

and safely as possible and contact the ATCT or AM by other means, such as a cellular or mobile

phone to advise of the situation. If this is not practical, then the driver, after vacating the runway,

should turn the vehicle toward the tower and start flashing the vehicle headlights and wait for the

controller to signal with the light gun. All vehicle operators must know and comply with light gun

signals. Light gun signals are as follows:

4.12.1. Steady Green Light: “Cleared to cross,” “Proceed,” “Go”

4.12.4. Flashing White Light: “Return to starting point”

4.12.5. Red and Green Light: “General warning. Exercise extreme caution”

4.13. Foreign Object Damage Prevention (FOD). Pavement distresses, failure to secure items,

vehicle parts and blowing debris account for the majority of FOD on the airfield. Negligence in

picking up FOD can result in disastrous and expensive incidents. Everyone is responsible to

prevent damage to aircraft; therefore, everyone involved in airfield operations is responsible to

pick up foreign material from the airfield surface. All vehicle operators will:

4.13.1. Check tires for FOD after returning to pavement if driving on unimproved surfaces

(for example, to avoid taxiing aircraft or if performing runway repairs).

Chapter 5

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS PHRASEOLOGY, DISCIPLINE AND TECHNIQUES

5.1. General.

5.1.1. Radio communications are a critical link in the Air Traffic Control system. The single,

most important thought in communications with the ATCT is mutual and complete

understanding. It is essential to acknowledge each radio communication with controllers by

using the appropriate call sign.

5.1.2. Brevity is important; therefore, radio transmissions are kept as brief as possible.

However, controllers need to know what vehicle operators want to do before they can properly

carry out their control duties. The vehicle operator must know and understand what the

controller wants them to do.

5.1.3. Proper radio communications phraseology, discipline, and techniques. The words

"clear" or “clearance” must not be used in communication with ATCT. Exception: Vehicle

operators may reply “Loud and Clear” in response to an ATCT request for radio transmission

quality or clarity.

5.1.4. Vehicle operators must be vigilant and monitor ATCT radio communication

frequencies on the airfield for situational awareness, especially when operating on an active

runway.

5.2. Radio Techniques.

5.2.1. Listen before transmitting. Be cognizant of other radio transmissions, multiple

transmitters may override and/or block out other receiver messages.

5.2.2. Think before keying the transmitter; know what needs to be said before saying it.

5.2.3. Hold the microphone close to your lips and, after pressing the “microphone button,” a

slight pause may be necessary to be sure the first word is transmitted clearly. Speak in a normal,

conversational tone.

5.2.4. When releasing the microphone button, wait a few seconds before calling again. The

controller may be looking for you on the airfield, transmitting on a different frequency, or

scanning the runway to enable your request.

5.2.5. Be alert to the sounds or the lack of sounds in the receiver. Check your volume and

frequency to make sure that your microphone is not stuck in the transmit position. Frequency

blockage can, and has, occurred for extended periods due to unintentional transmitter

operation. This type of interference is commonly referred to as a “stuck mike,” and controllers

may refer to it in this manner when attempting to correct the problem.

5.2.6. Ensure that you are within the performance range of your radio equipment and the

ground station equipment. Refer to the airfield diagram to determine possible radio blind spots.

5.2.7. Use caution when using a vehicle mounted and/or handheld radio and operating a

vehicle at the same time. When possible, use the radio when the vehicle is stopped.

40 374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024

5.3. Phraseology. Vehicle operators must contact the ATCT controller every time they proceed

onto or leave the CMA. When proceeding onto a CMA, advise the controller of three things:

WHO you are, WHERE you are, and WHAT your intentions are. Always acknowledge all

communications so ground control and other persons know that the message was received. Always

give aircraft and Air Traffic Control transmissions priority unless an emergency exists. Very High

Frequency and Ultra High Frequency transmissions are reserved for the primary use of aircraft and

ATCT personnel. A typical runway crossing transmission sequence is as follows:

Table 5.1. Sample Runway Crossing Phraseology.

VEHICLE OPERATOR:

“YOKOTA TOWER AIRFIELD ONE.”

Air Traffic Control Tower:

“AIRFIELD ONE, YOKOTA TOWER.”

VEHICLE OPERATOR:

“YOKOTA TOWER, AIRFIELD ONE REQUEST

TO CROSS RUNWAY 18 AT TAXIWAY ECHO

ONE.”

Air Traffic Control Tower:

“AIRFIELD ONE, CROSS RUNWAY 18 AT TAXIWAY

ECHO. ECHO ONE” or “AIRFIELD ONE, HOLD

SHORT OF RUNWAY 18.”

5.3.1. Vehicle operators must read back ATCT instructions verbatim. If you are unsure of

what the controller has transmitted, or if you do not understand an instruction, you MUST ask

the controller to repeat the instructions (or say again) before taking any action. Good

communication only occurs when each party knows and understands what the other is saying.

Table 5.2. Sample Read Back Instructions.

VEHICLE OPERATOR:

Note: Airfield 1 visually scans

the runway prior to entry, and then

proceeds across the runway

“AIRFIELD ONE UNDERSTANDS APPROVED TO

CROSS RUNWAY 18 AT TAXIWAY ECHO WILL

REPORT WHEN OFF.” or

“AIRFIELD ONE, HOLDING SHORT AT TAXIWAY

ECHO.”

VEHICLE OPERATOR:

“YOKOTA TOWER, AIRFIELD ONE CROSSING

COMPLETE, OFF RUNWAY 18 AT TAXIWAY ECHO

TWO.”

Air Traffic Control Tower:

“AIRFIELD ONE, ROGER.”

5.3.2. If vehicle operators are issued hold short instructions, they must provide a read back to

the ATCT. See example below.

374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024 41

Table 5.3. Sample Hold Short Instructions.

Air Traffic Control Tower:

“AIRFIELD ONE PROCEED VIA TAXIWAY CHARLIE,

HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY 36.” or

“AIRFIELD ONE PROCEED VIA CHARLIE, HOLD

SHORT OF RUNWAY 36.”

VEHICLE OPERATOR:

“AIRFIELD ONE, ROGER.”

Air Traffic Control Tower:

“AIRFIELD ONE, READ BACK HOLD

INSTRUCTIONS.”

VEHICLE OPERATOR:

“AIRFIELD ONE, PROCEEDING VIA CHARLIE, WILL

HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY 36.”

5.4. Common Use Phrases. Table 5.4 provides the meaning of commonly used radio

phraseology.

Table 5.4. Common Use Phrases.

What Is Said:

What It Means:

Acknowledge

Let me know you have received and understand this

message.

Advise Intentions

Let me know what you plan to do.

Affirmative

Yes.

Correction

An error has been made in the transmission, and the

correct version follows.

Go Ahead

Proceed with your message only. Note: Use of this

phrase does not authorize requestor to “Go Ahead”

with, or carry out, their request.

Hold/Hold Short

Phrase used during ground operations to keep a vehicle

or aircraft within a specified area or at a specified point

while awaiting further clearance from air traffic control.

How do you hear me?

Question relating to the quality of the transmission or to

determine how well the transmission is being received.

Immediately or without delay,

Expedite

Phrase used by Air Traffic Control when such action

compliance is required to avoid an imminent situation.

Negative

"No" or "permission not granted" or "that is not

correct."

42 374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024

Out

The radio conversation is ended, and no response is

expected.

Over

My radio transmission is ended, and I expect a response.

Read Back

Repeat my message to me.

Roger

I have received all of your last transmission.

Stand By

The controller or pilot should pause for a few seconds,

usually to attend to other duties of a higher priority.

Also means to wait as in "stand by for clearance." The

caller should reestablish contact if a delay is lengthy.

Unable

Indicates inability to comply with a specific instruction,

request, or clearance.

Verify

Request confirmation of information.

Wilco

I have received your message, understand it, and will

comply with it.

5.5. Phonetic Aviation Alphabet. Because some letters have similar sounds, like B and P, the

international aviation industry uses the following words to reduce confusion. For example,

Taxiway “B” would be referred to as Taxiway Bravo on the radio. Know and use the following

RUNWAY INCURSION PREVENTION WORKING GROUP (RIPWG)

A2.1. Program Objectives. The main objective of a RIPWG is to analyze each runway incursion

and corrective actions taken in an effort to prevent future occurrences.

A2.2. Program Scope. A RIPWG is used to evaluate the airfield driving operating procedures

and/or standards and airfield configuration (to include signs, marking, lighting) to determine if

corrective actions are needed. The RIPWG functional experts will assess all pertinent areas that

are a part of, or affect, the negative trend or unsafe condition.

A2.3. Attendees. The RIPWG includes Operations Support Squadron Commander (OSS/CC),

AOF/CC, AFM, WADPM, tower chief controller, Wing Safety, Unit Commanders, Unit ADPMs,

and Operations Group Commander (OG/CC).

A2.4. RIPWG. The RIPWG will:

A2.4.1. Develop strategies to prevent the reoccurrence of runway incursions. Examples

include but are not limited to:

A2.4.1.1. Increase or improve local training or testing materials.

A2.4.1.2. Implement mandatory briefings to all airfield drivers, aircrew and air traffic

control personnel, as applicable.

A2.4.1.3. Limit runway crossings or limit crossings to certain taxiways and/or road

intersections.

A2.4.1.4. Increase penalty for CMAVs.

A2.4.1.5. Alter the shape or increase the size of the CMA.

A2.4.2. Determine if additional signage, markings, and lighting are needed in high-risk areas.

Note: Coordinate with major or field command OPR for AO prior to implementing new

procedures or purchasing airfield support systems such as signs, marking and lighting.

Examples of additional signs, markings, and lighting projects include the following:

A2.4.2.1. Installing “Stop, Do Not Enter, Contact Air Traffic Control Tower” signs and

markings at runway hold lines and roads leading to the runway.

A2.4.2.2. Increasing visibility of runway hold position markings by increasing the width

of the yellow stripes from six to 12 inches. Note: This option requires coordination with

civil engineer and Wing Safety and a work order request to change is implemented

uniformly over the entire airfield.

A2.4.2.3. Painting runway hold position signs on pavement prior to the runway hold

position markings. (See Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 150/5340-1,

Standards for Airport Markings). Note: This option requires coordination with civil

engineer and Wing Safety and a work order request to change is implemented uniformly

over the entire airfield.

374AWI13-213 18 APRIL 2024 51

A2.4.2.4. Painting FAA enhanced taxiway centerline marking prior to the runway hold

position markings. Note: This option requires coordination with civil engineer and Wing

Safety and a work order request to change is implemented uniformly over the entire

airfield.
