Special Purpose Vehicle speed limit?

Special Purpose Vehicle speed limit?

• A. 5 mph
• B. 10 mph
• C. 15 mph
• D. 20 mph

Answer: (B)

Special Purpose Vehicles on the movement area operate with a standard maximum speed of 10 mph. This limit is set to keep operators able to stop quickly if an aircraft starts or moves unexpectedly, to maintain safe separation from aircraft and other vehicles, and to minimize hazards from jet blast or prop wash. If local signage or procedures specify a different limit, always follow those. The lower option is typically for ramp areas, while higher speeds would increase risk on active airfield surfaces.
