What is required to obtain an AVOP?

To obtain an Airside Vehicle Operator Permit (AVOP), one must successfully complete an AVOP training course followed by a written test. This training course is specifically designed to educate individuals about the unique operating procedures and regulations that govern airside vehicle operations at the airport, focusing on safety, security, and compliance with aviation standards. The written test assesses the knowledge gained from this training to ensure that candidates understand the protocols necessary for operating safely within the airport environment.

The other options involve processes that are generally not required as part of obtaining the AVOP. A verbal interview and practical driving assessment would typically not be part of the AVOP requirements, as ensuring written knowledge is the main focus. Similarly, while a medical examination and background check can be important for overall airport security and personnel vetting, they are not specific requirements for obtaining an AVOP permit. Lastly, completion of a basic driver's education course does not cover the specialized training needed for airside operations, making it insufficient alone for obtaining an AVOP.
