What is the primary purpose of the AVOP program for airside vehicle operators?

• A. Training operators to follow procedures, runways and taxiways, and maintain safety and incident prevention.
• B. Issuing fines for violations.
• C. Scheduling flight times.
• D. Building aircraft.

Answer: (A)

The AVOP program is about ensuring airside vehicle operators can move around the airport safely by following established procedures on runways and taxiways and by preventing safety incidents. It teaches how to operate near aircraft, understand controlled areas, use proper traffic rules and radio communications, and apply safety practices to reduce the risk of collisions or incidents. The goal is certification of competent, safety-minded operators, not penalties, scheduling flights, or building aircraft.
