What term refers to an airfield infraction caused by entering the CMA without ATCT approval?

• A. Runway Incursion
• B. CMAV
• C. Overrun
• D. FOD

Answer: (B)

Entering the CMA without ATCT approval is a CMA entry violation, abbreviated as CMAV. The Common Movement Area (CMA) is the part of the airfield where movement is shared among aircraft and vehicles and requires coordination with ATCT. Going into this area without clearance creates potential conflicts with active aircraft, so a specific term is used to label this breach: CMAV. This differs from a runway incursion (unauthorized entry into the runway environment) and other issues like an overrun or FOD, which describe different situations and risks.
