runways report less than 600 ft RVR (pg. 53/4).
In the domestic horseshoe what must vehicles do before crossing the tail clearance
line? - ANS-Check for aircraft and other vehicles before proceeding (pg. 32)
, When can you drive or park between the bridge safety lines and bridge return circles? -
ANS-You cannot, it is prohibited at all times (pg. 47)
Is passing on vehicle corridors permitted? - ANS-Yes, if the speed limit isn't exceeded
and there is no opposing traffic.
You CANNOT pass in tunnels or breezeways. (pg. 28)

off after stopping for >30 sec, use battery to power radios/ beacon when stopping for
less than 15 min (pg. 30)

Maneuvering Areas include what surfaces? - ANS-Controlled surfaces
"a subset of the movement area used for the take-off and landing of aircraft and for the
movement of aircraft associated with take-off and landing. It comprises all of the
