What is the No Drive Zone?

• A. Area around the fuel truck
• B. The entire apron area
• C. The cabin interior
• D. Area that extends 5 feet outward from aircraft to prevent damage and injury

Answer: (D)

A No Drive Zone is a safety boundary around an aircraft that keeps ground vehicles at a safe distance to prevent damage and injury. It specifically extends five feet outward from the aircraft, creating a protective buffer for wings, engines, landing gear, and other external parts from accidental contact or from jet blast/prop wash. Only authorized personnel guided by ramp control should operate inside or near this zone. This isn’t the area around a fuel truck, nor is it the entire apron or the cabin interior.
