When parking a vehicle near an aircraft, what is the recommended distance?

When parking a vehicle near an aircraft, the recommended distance is at least 25 feet. This ensures a safe buffer zone around the aircraft, which is critical for preventing accidents and maintaining operational safety on the airfield. Aircraft have sensitive components and controls that can be affected by nearby vehicles, especially during taxiing and takeoff operations. Keeping a distance of 25 feet helps to minimize the risk of collisions and ensures that ground personnel have sufficient space to work safely around the aircraft. This distance also allows for emergency maneuvers and is in compliance with standard airfield safety protocols. It is important to adhere to this guideline to maintain a safe working environment for all personnel on the airfield.
