Question

Which taxiway, not directly controlled by ATC, can be used by an AVOP holder without clearance, with aircraft having the right-of-way?

a) Controlled Taxiway
b) Manoeuvring Area
c) Uncontrolled Taxiway
d) Tail-of-Stand

Answer 1

The correct answer is Uncontrolled Taxiway. AVOP holders can use uncontrolled taxiways without clearance from ATC but must give way to aircraft on the taxiway.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) Uncontrolled Taxiway.

An uncontrolled taxiway is a taxiway that is not directly controlled by Air Traffic Control (ATC). AVOP holders can use uncontrolled taxiways without clearance from ATC but must give way to aircraft on the taxiway. AVOP stands for Airside Vehicle Operator's Permit and is required for anyone operating a vehicle on the airside of an airport.

For example, if an AVOP holder is operating a vehicle on an uncontrolled taxiway and encounters an aircraft on the taxiway, the AVOP holder must yield the right-of-way to the aircraft.
