1 INTRODUCTION

The contents of this Airside Driving Theory Handbook (ADTH) are meant

for drivers and personnel who operate and drive any equipment within the

airside. To ensure the safe and orderly movement of staff, passengers,

aircraft and vehicular trafc, the following rules governing vehicle driving

and operation of mobile equipment in the operational areas must be

adhered to.

Please refer to Illustration 1.1 (attached on the inner back cover) for the

Airside Roadway System.

The rst edition of the ADTH will replace the Rules and Regulations for

Airside Drivers (RRAD) which was last published and issued in 2008.

Recommendations and suggestions for improving the contents of this

handbook can be forwarded to:

2 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION OF AIRSIDE DRIVERS

2.1 Driving Permit Requirements

Airport personnel who have to drive in the airside for ofcial

purposes should possess:

i) A valid Class 3 driving licence issued by the Singapore Trafc

Police (TP) or an international licence equivalent to Class 3.

ii) An Aireld Driving Permit (ADP) which gives permission tooperate a particular class of vehicle in the Airside. As of 1

April 2010, the ADP issued is in the form of a plastic card and

applicants have the option to apply for either a one year or

two years validity period for their ADP, subject to the terms

and conditions as stated in the application forms provided by

Airside Driving Centre.

2.2 Airside Driver Training Before applying for an ADP, Airside drivers will

have to:

i) Attend and complete the Airside Rules and

Regulation Course (ARRC) conducted by

authorised training centres; or

ii) Study the contents of the Airside Driving

Theory Handbook himself.

Existing ADP holders should attend the Aireld Rules and

Regulation Refresher Course (ARRRC), conducted by authorised

Front Back

training centres, every two years. It is mandatory for all drivers

to undergo bi-annual refresher training courses and obtain the

necessary certication before renewing their ADP.

2.3 Airside Driving Tests

Applicants for an ADP are required to

pass the Aireld Rules Test (ART) and theAireld Driving/Safety-Compliance Test(ADSCT) conducted by CAG(S). This is to

ensure that all drivers operating vehicles

and/or equipment in the airside know the

safety procedures and regulations.

ART is a computerised theory-based

test, consisting of 25 multiple-choice

questions to be completed in an hour.

ADSCT is a practical demonstration

of competency which consist of a

driving test which is conducted on

a test road in the airside. Each test

lasts approximately 15-20 minutes.

2.4 Conduct of Airside Drivers

All airside drivers must carry their ADP and show

it upon request by authorised personnel.

They must adhere to the conditions

mentioned in the ADP and follow the code

of conduct when driving in the airside.
