AOA guidelines

AOA guidelines, or Air Operations Area guidelines, are safety rules and procedures established to manage aircraft movement on and around airport runways, taxiways, and ramps. They aim to prevent accidents, ensure clear communication, and maintain efficient airport operations. This includes proper signage, lighting, and markings; protocols for vehicle and personnel movement; and coordination with air traffic control. Following these guidelines helps keep everyone safe—pilots, crew, ground staff, and passengers—by minimizing risks associated with aircraft operations on the ground.
