What is the penalty for a driver's first major airfield driving procedure violation?

The penalty for a driver's first major airfield driving procedure violation is the suspension of AF Form 483 for a minimum of 60 days. This period of suspension is established to enforce the importance of adherence to airfield driving regulations and to promote safety in the aircraft operating environment. A 60-day suspension serves as a significant deterrent to prevent further violations and emphasizes the seriousness of the infraction.

The regulation ensures that airfield drivers are cognizant of their responsibilities and the potential risks associated with disregard for established protocols. This action not only helps the individual driver understand the consequences of their actions but also reinforces the safety culture that is vital in airfield operations where the presence of aircraft, personnel, and equipment requires stringent adherence to safety regulations.
