5 .3 Crossing runways

5.3.1 Drivers should carefully note the position to which they may proceed, particularly where the intended route involves crossing a runway. Some aerodromes may have procedures that will allow vehicles to proceed to a holding point and then request runway crossing instructions. Under no circumstances shall a driver cross a runway unless positive permission has been given and acknowledged. A runway vacated report shall not be made until the vehicle (and tow) is clear of the designated runway area, beyond the holding point.

5 .4 Vehicles towing aircraft

Drivers of vehicles required to tow aircraft should not assume that the receiving station is aware that an aircraft is to be towed. The performance and manoeuvrability of ground vehicles is obviously considerably reduced when towing aircraft and this is taken into account when instructions to such vehicles are issued. Therefore, in order to avoid any confusion, and as an aid to identification, drivers should state the type, and where applicable the operator, of the aircraft to be towed.

Chapter 6 general radar phraseology

6.1 Introduction

1. This chapter contains general radar phraseology which is commonly used in communications between aircraft and all types of radar units. Phraseology which is more applicable to approach radar control or area radar control is to be found in Chapters 7 and 8, as appropriate.

2. In a radar environment heading, information given by the pilot and heading instructions given by controllers are in degrees magnetic.

6.2 Radar identification and vectoring

6.2.1 Radar vectors may be given to establish the identification of an aircraft. Other means of radar identification are the use of position report information, requesting the aircraft to make turns, the use of bearing and distance information from a prominent object or radio aid, transfer of control and the use of SSR.
