    The document outlines safety procedures and regulations for vehicle operations on airport ramp areas, including allowed areas to drive, safety around aircraft, speed limits, right of way, and ramp markings.

    Vehicles are allowed to drive on apron areas for close-in taxiing and parking but are forbidden from driving on maneuvering areas like runways and taxiways. Apron, maneuvering area, and movement area are defined.

    Vehicles must yield to all moving aircraft and never approach closer than 15 meters from an aircraft intake or 2 aircraft lengths from jet blast. Rotating propellers can be dangerous even after engine shutdown so vehicles must wait for them to fully stop.
