What type of Airside Driving Permit (ADP) is required while driving airside solely?

To operate on the airside solely, a Stage 1 Airside Driving Permit (ADP) is required. This level of permit typically allows individuals to become familiar with the airside environment, including the rules and responsibilities necessary when driving in this area. It encompasses the basic knowledge of airside traffic patterns, potential hazards, and communications within the airport community, making it essential for ensuring safety in areas where aircraft and ground vehicles intersect.

Individuals with a Stage 1 permit are usually limited in scope and may not drive in all areas, as further stages of permits introduce more advanced training and responsibilities. These added stages often include more complex operations and knowledge about specific airside zones, thus reinforcing the need for Stage 1 as the foundational level necessary for those starting to drive airside.
