What should a driver do if they become disoriented on the airfield?

When a driver becomes disoriented on the airfield, pulling over safely and contacting air traffic control is the best course of action. This ensures that the driver can stop in a controlled manner without posing a safety risk to themselves or other aircraft and vehicles in the area. By contacting air traffic control, the driver can receive guidance on their location and the appropriate steps to take next, which is essential in maintaining situational awareness and safety on the airfield.

Continuing to drive while disoriented could lead to entering restricted areas or colliding with other vehicles or aircraft, which poses significant risks. Similarly, speeding up to regain orientation is unsafe, as it increases the likelihood of an accident. Looking for the nearest exit may not be feasible if the driver does not know their current location, potentially leading to further confusion or danger. Thus, stopping safely and seeking assistance from air traffic control allows for a structured approach to resolving the situation.
