This airfield driving quiz helps you practice safe flightline driving - runway crossings, taxiway signs, radio calls, and vehicle clearance - so you can spot gaps before a CBT or local check. For extra practice, use this practice test, and when you're done, check the airspace quiz too.

What color are runway edge markings on airfields, according to FAA and ICAO standards?
Yellow
Blue
Red
White
Runway edge markings are white as per FAA AC 150/5340-18 and ICAO Annex 14, making them distinct from taxiway markings, which are yellow.
The STOP mnemonic used for runway incursion prevention stands for Scan, Think, Observe, Proceed only when cleared.
False
True
The STOP mnemonic is a situational awareness tool used to prevent runway incursions by ensuring careful observation before proceeding.
Which of the following best describes the color of taxiway centerline markings?
Red
Yellow
Black
White
Taxiway centerlines are always yellow, which helps drivers quickly distinguish between movement areas.
Readback of taxi and hold-short clearances is optional if the airfield is not busy.
False
True
Readbacks of taxi and hold-short clearances are mandatory to avoid miscommunication and ensure safety, regardless of traffic.
Which protocol should an airfield driver follow before starting a vehicle for airfield operations?
Check the clock for shift change
Pre-operation inspection using the TIRE checklist
Only check fuel level
Ask a supervisor if the vehicle is okay
The TIRE checklist (Tires, Indicators, Radio Equipment) ensures the vehicle is airfield-ready before each use, preventing hazards.
In all situations, vehicles have right-of-way over powered aircraft on the ramp.
True
False
Aircraft always have right-of-way: vehicles must yield and maintain proper clearance on the ramp.
What is the maximum recommended vehicle speed on the ramp according to FAA AC 150/5190-7?
25 mph
10 mph
20 mph
15 mph
FAA guidance recommends a ramp speed limit of 15 mph to ensure safe vehicle operation among aircraft and personnel.
A flashing red light signal from the control tower means proceed immediately onto the runway.
False
True
A flashing red light means stop or exit the runway, not proceed; only enter when cleared by ATC.
What is the purpose of the 'Crew's Eyes' scanning method for drivers?
To enhance observation by scanning for ground obstacles and equipment
To ensure windows are clean
To watch aircraft only
To check the crew's uniforms
'Crew's Eyes' means actively scanning the environment for any hazards, not just focusing on vehicles or aircraft.
Hold-short lines are marked with parallel broken and solid yellow lines on taxiways.
False
True
Taxiway hold-short lines are always two solid and two dashed yellow lines, indicating where to stop unless cleared.
Which of the following is a critical reason to perform documented inspections for airfield vehicles?
Because it is a routine with no safety implications
To use up inspection checklists
To make the vehicle look good
To maintain eligibility and compliance with regulations
Documenting inspections ensures vehicles meet eligibility for operation and prevents mechanical failures that could cause incursions.
The 'BRACE' communication method helps airfield drivers avoid lapses by focusing on clear radio transmissions.
False
True
'BRACE' (Brief, Repeat, Acknowledge, Confirm, Enunciate) is a tool for effective and clear radio communication.
You must always log completion of your airfield driving CBT to remain authorized to drive on the airfield.
False
True
Proper logging of completed training ensures you remain compliant and legally authorized for airfield driving duties.
If you notice foreign object debris (FOD) while driving on the ramp, what should you do?
Ignore it; someone else will see it
Kick it off to the side with your vehicle
Secure the vehicle and report/remove the debris
Drive around and continue
FOD poses a major risk to flight operations and must be reported and removed by the driver when encountered.
Engine shutdown is required whenever a vehicle is stopped on a marked vehicle crossing area.
True
False
Engine shutdown is not required in all crossing situations. Follow local instructions for specific shutdown locations.
Which of the following signs would you expect to see at a runway/taxiway intersection?
Runway holding position sign (red background, white numbers)
Direction sign (yellow background, black letters)
Service road sign (blue background, white letters)
Information sign (black background, yellow letters)
A holding position sign alerts drivers to stop before entering the runway environment and uses red with white markings for high visibility.
It is acceptable to drive under a parked aircraft wing if you do not touch the aircraft.
True
False
Driving under aircraft is prohibited due to the risk of collision or damage, even if there is enough physical clearance.
What should you do if you are uncertain about an ATC instruction while driving on the airfield?
Ask for clarification from ATC
Guess and proceed
Do nothing and remain stationary indefinitely
Wait for another driver to move
Clarifying unclear instructions with ATC avoids miscommunication and prevents incursions or unsafe situations.
Maintaining a 25-foot clearance from aircraft on the ramp is only necessary at night.
True
False
A 25-foot clearance must always be observed when driving near aircraft, regardless of time of day.
According to airfield protocols, which of these actions is permitted when you see an aircraft marshaller with crossed wands?
Signal to the marshaller that you will pass
Continue driving at reduced speed
Drive behind the marshaller
Stop the vehicle immediately
Crossed wands from a marshaller mean stop immediately to prevent entering active aircraft movement areas.
Standard phraseology in radio transmissions is important for reducing miscommunication on the ramp.
False
True
Using standard phrases ensures clear understanding between drivers and air traffic personnel, which is critical for safety.

Study Outcomes

  1. Understand Airfield Driving Regulations -

    Learn the key rules and regulations that govern safe airfield driving, including runway incursion prevention and air force airfield driving standards.

  2. Identify Flightline Driving Hazards -

    Recognize common risks and hazard scenarios on the ramp and taxiways to help airfield drivers maintain situational awareness.

  3. Apply Best Practices for Safe Navigation -

    Use proven flightline driving techniques and protocols to navigate the airfield safely and efficiently.

  4. Analyze Airfield Signs and Markings -

    Interpret visual cues, signage, and pavement markings to ensure compliance with airfield driving CBT requirements.

  5. Evaluate Personal Driving Performance -

    Assess your knowledge through scored quiz feedback to identify strengths and areas for improvement before your airfield driving CBT.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Decipher Airfield Signage & Markings -

    Review the color-coded runway and taxiway markings defined in FAA AC 150/5340-18 and ICAO Annex 14: white for runway edges, yellow for taxiway centerlines. The mnemonic "White Runway, Yellow Taxiway" helps retain these essentials during flightline driving CBT. Recognizing these markings quickly prevents wrong-surface incursions.

  2. Runway Incursion Prevention Strategies -

    Understand the FAA's five categories of runway incursions and practice the "STOP" mnemonic - Scan, Think, Observe, Proceed only when cleared - to enhance situational awareness (FAA ASRS). Always comply with hold-short lines and transmit clear readbacks following FAA JO 7110.65 during your airfield driving CBT. Reviewing NTSB runway-incursion case studies reinforces best practices and lessons learned.

  3. Standard Radio Communication -

    Apply ICAO Doc 4444 and FAA JO 7110.65 standard phraseology, ensuring accurate readbacks of taxi and hold-short clearances. Use the "BRACE" trick - Brief, Repeat, Acknowledge, Confirm, Enunciate - to help airfield drivers avoid communication lapses. Clear, concise transmissions keep ATC loops tight and ramp operations flowing safely.

  4. Vehicle Inspection & Authorization -

    Conduct pre-operation vehicle checks per AFI 13-213 using the "TIRE" mnemonic - Tires, Indicators, Radio Equipment - to confirm readiness. Log inspections in accordance with DODI 6055.04 to maintain documented airfield driving CBT eligibility. Proper maintenance prevents breakdowns that could lead to runway incursions.

  5. Ramp Safety & Right-of-Way Rules -

    Always yield right-of-way to taxiing and powered aircraft and maintain a 25-foot clearance as specified in FAA AC 150/5190-7. Limit vehicle speed to 15 mph on the ramp and adopt the "Crew's Eyes" scanning method to spot ground support equipment. Mastering these ramp protocols is vital for safe flightline driving.
