Is it permissible to drive between a marshaller, transient alert and the aircraft they are supporting?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with permission
• D. Only when visibility is clear

Answer: (B)

Not permissible. When an aircraft is being marshalled, the marshaller and any transient alert rely on a clear, unobstructed view of the aircraft and their signals to guide taxiing safely. Driving between the marshal and the aircraft would place a vehicle directly in the path of moving aircraft and could block the signals, confuse the pilot, or expose people to jet blast or prop wash. The area around the aircraft is treated as restricted during taxi operations, so you should stay out of the signal path and use designated routes or wait for further clearance from a supervisor if you need to move.
