Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION The contents of this Airside Driving Theory Handbook (ADTH) are meant for drivers and personnel who operate and drive any equipment within the airside. To ensure the safe and orderly movement of staff, engers, aircraft and vehicular traffic, the following rules governing vehicle driving and operation of mobile equipment in the operational areas must be adhered to. Please refer to Illustration 1.1 (attached on the inner back cover) for the Airside Roadway System. The first edition of the ADTH will replace the Rules and Regulations for Airside Drivers (RRAD) which was last published and issued in 2008. Recommendations and suggestions for improving the contents of this handbook can be forwarded to:

Airside Driving Tests
ART is a computerised theory-based test, consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions to be completed in an hour.
ADSCT is a practical demonstration of competency which consist of a driving test which is conducted on a test road in the airside. Each test lasts approximately 15-20 minutes.
Applicants for an ADP are required to the Airfield Rules Test (ART) and the Airfield Driving/Safety-Compliance Test (ADSCT) conducted by CAG(S). This is to ensure that all drivers operating vehicles and/or equipment in the airside know the safety procedures and regulations.

4.3
Time System Start of a day is denoted by 0001H. End of a day is denoted by 2400H.
4.4
Communication Techniques The effective use of RT Communication Facilities (RTF) depends on: i) Articulation ii) Microphone techniques iii) Choice of words Poor delivery of RT communication techniques can cause confusion and may potentially lead to accidents.
4.4.1
Basic Guidelines Before transmission, s should:
i) Tune to the right frequency to ensure no interference to the transmission from other stations. ii) Decide on the message to be transmitted.
Airside Driving Theory Handbook
39
Radio-Telephony (RT) Communications
During transmission, s should: i) Speak into the microphone. ii) Keep the microphone close to the mouth.
iii) Ensure transmit switch is on.
iv) Speak normally. v) Refrain from shouting or whispering. vi) Not vary the voice pitch. vii) Not vary the tone when asking questions. viii) Use standard phrases.
ix) Avoid polite expressions. x) Be concise and unambiguous. xi) Not speak quickly. xii) Speak slowly if the transmission is being recorded. xiii) Maintain slight pause when transmitting numbers. xiv) Refrain from interrupting if a station is making a transmission and is expecting a reply from another station. xv) Give priority to a distress call. xvi) Seek priority to convey a distress message.
40
After transmission, s should: i) Ensure transmit switch is released to prevent “clipping” of transmission. ii) Ensure transmit switch is completely released to prevent jamming of the frequency. Airside Driving Theory Handbook

Vehicle Breakdown And Reporting Accidents
5 VEHICLE BREAKDOWN AND REPORTING ACCIDENTS 5.1
Vehicle Breakdown Reporting • Drivers must immediately inform Airside Management Centre if their vehicle has stalled on the taxiway or aircraft parking stand.
Removal • The driver must the company maintenance section to repair or tow the vehicle away as soon as possible.
Prevent obstruction to airside traffic • Try to push the vehicle to the side of the roadway or any other area so that traffic is not blocked and safety compromised in the airside. • Ensure aircraft is not obstructed by the breakdown. • Provide marshaller to divert traffic. • Driver should not leave the vehicle unattended.

5.2
Vehicle Accidents Reporting • In the event of an accident in the airside, the drivers involved should report it immediately via telephone to the Airside Management Centre.
Injuries • If there are injuries, the drivers should immediately report them to the Airside Management Centre and Airport Police and call for medical assistance.
Remain at scene of accident • Personnel involved in the accident should remain at the scene until a CAG(S) Officer arrives to handle the situation.
Preservation of Accident Scene • No vehicle or equipment involved in an accident should be removed until permission is granted by an APD or CAG(S) Officer on-site.

Fuel, Hydraulic and Waste Spillages
5.3.1
Aircraft Fuel Spillage Reporting • Spillages area larger than 4 metre square should be reported immediately to Airport Emergency Services (AES) and Airside Control Centre (ACC). • Spillages occurring from an underground fuel hydrant pit should be reported immediately to Airport Emergency Services (AES), Airside Control Centre (ACC) and Changi Airport Fuel Hydrant Installation (CAFHI).
5.3.2
Remain at scene of spillage • No vehicle or mobile equipment should come within 15 metres of the spillage area. • No vehicle or mobile equipment should be started until the spillage has been cleaned. • Personnel involved in the spillage should cordon off the area and divert traffic. Hydraulic Oil Spill Reporting • When it is heavy oil spillage, the ACC should be ed immediately. • And the following details should be provided: i) Caller should identify himself and leave his number. ii) Caller should provide location and extent of spill and whether it will affect aircraft and people.

Enforcement Of Airside Driving And Safety Regulations
6 ENFORCEMENT OF AIRSIDE DRIVING AND SAFETY REGULATIONS 6.1
CAAS (Changi Airport) By-Laws 2009 All airside drivers must observe the provisions in the CAAS (Changi Airport) By-Laws 2009.
6.2
CAAS (Composition of Offences) Regulations 2009 Any person who contravenes the CAAS (Changi Airport) By-Laws 2009 or fails to comply with the conditions of any permit or issued under the CAAS (Changi Airport) By-Laws 2009 will be issued a Notice of Offence. See Annex A on page 63.
The regulations do not restrict the CAG(S) from suspending an ADP when it is deemed necessary.
Please refer to Annex A for the list of CAAS (Composition of Offences) Regulations 2009.
6.3
Suspension or Cancellation of ADP CAG(S) may suspend or cancel an ADP if:
i) There has been a contravention of any condition of the permit; ii) The person to whom the permit has been issued is not competent to drive the relevant vehicle. iii) It would not be in the interest of public safety for him to hold a driving permit.
6.4
Surrender of ADP The ADP holder must return the ADP to the CAG(S) Airside Operations Licensing Counter within 72 hours of the cessation of driving duties for his employer. The vehicle operator must also ensure that the ADP holder complies with this clause.

Vehicle Specifications
7 VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS FOR USE IN THE AIRSIDE 7.1
50
Flame Proofing of Petrol Engine i) The mixture adjustment for the induction system should be such that exhaust pipe explosions must not occur when the throttle is suddenly closed. ii) The carburettor should be fitted with a flame trap or arrestor. (A standard automotive type oil bath air cleaner must be used, other alternatives must be approved by the CAG(S) Airport Emergency Service Division.
iii) The gasket between the induction manifold and the cylinder block should have a gas-tight seal.
7.2
Exhaust System i) The exhaust manifold and the section of the exhaust pipe adjacent to the manifold should be covered with metal to prevent petrol, oil or other combustible material from coming into with them. Otherwise, a drip tray must be provided under the carburettor with a pipe to drain waste petrol from the manifold and exhaust pipe.
ii) The exhaust pipe of vehicles without a catalytic converter should be fitted with an approved spark arrestor. Screen-type arrestors must be serviced regularly to ensure there is no collection of carbon.
Airside Driving Theory Handbook
Vehicle Specifications
iii) Regular checks must be conducted on the entire exhaust system to ensure there are no gas leakages.
7.3
Electrical System i) Exhaust manifold and the section of the exhaust pipe adjacent to the manifold should be shrouded with a metal cover to prevent petrol, oil or other combustible material from coming into with the hot metal. In cases where the manifold cannot be effectively protected, a drip tray should be provided under the carburettor with a pipe to direct waste petrol away from the manifold and exhaust pipe.
