Title: Off Airfield Driving / Rough Surface Driver Training
Post by: TheCapt on February 09, 2008, 08:40:31 PM

Hello

First posting so please be kind.

Just curious to know what provision med / large airports (cat 7- 9 ) make regarding training / familiarisation for driving off airfield?

Plus how / where do you carry out off- paved driver training?

Any info is much appreciated

Cheers

As with heathrow, we carry out monthly training in outer response and undershoot/overshoot areas.

 Every 6 months (i think) may be annually, we carry out practical off road driving. This is done in a designated patch of grass on the airfield with paved surfaces on all sides to alleviate the need for excessive steering etc.
