TKI: Movement Areas

Aircraft Always Have the Right of Way

Unless authorized per the below information, no vehicle or pedestrian shall cross a Non-movement or Movement Area boundary line for any reason.  

No person shall operate a vehicle on the Movement Area except for those trained by the Airport Director or designee that also meets each of the following requirements:

• The vehicle must be equipped to maintain two-way communications with the ATCT and be marked or lit in accordance with FAA guidelines, or be escorted by another vehicle so equipped
• Only government, emergency vehicles or other vehicles with authorization from the Airport Director or designee shall be permitted to operate a vehicle on the Movement Area
• All vehicles must obtain clearance before entering the Movement Area and maintain two-way communications with the ATCT at all times when operating in the Movement Area

When the ATCT is closed, FAA procedures for uncontrolled airports apply; however, vehicular access in the Movement Area requires prior authorization from the Airport Director or designee.

It is unlawful for an unauthorized vehicle to be operated in the runway safety area at any time during aircraft takeoffs and landings without the prior authorization from the Airport Director or designee, who will notify the ATCT during its hours of operation. Once authorization is received you must also contact and receive permission from the ATCT before entering.
