ADA - Authority to Drive Airside

 

Course Description

These units of competency cover the training and assessment for ADA - Authority to Drive Airside. ADA is a permit that lets a person drive a vehicle or operate equipment in the "airside" area of an Australian airport, such as aprons, service roads, taxiways and runways. Completing the units doesn't automatically grant an ADA. The airport still decides whether to issue the authority. This course has been tailored to the specific requirements of Brisbane Airport (BNE).  These Units detail safety rules for drivers of vehicles on the airside at Brisbane airport. The purpose of these rules is to provide a safe and secure environment in which to undertake aerodrome operations. The overriding requirement are that all airside vehicles must have certain equipment and characteristics, and that the drivers of them must:

  • Drive in a safe manner;
  • Ensure that driving and parking do not impede flight operations or aircraft movements; and 
  • Be aware of the aviation environment and it's inherent dangers.
