Traffic is er was,

Re. ASIC

It only denotes that you have undergone a standardised identity check. (It's what the "I" means). It has no authorisation purpose at all. You are required to demonstrate a need to be in an area requiring identification by ASIC card as well. That is a point that is often misunderstood by ASIC holders.
As an ASIC holding pilot my reason for being airside is largely any reason I deem legitimate and justifiable. This could include, I wanted to pick up that empty chip packet blowing across the apron or I wanted to see what ply tyres the owner of the Mooney parked over yonder has chosen to use.



Airports...places where pilots land and take off in their aircraft, they weren't built so some folks could find something seemingly meaningful to fill in there day guarding. That came along after when we realised it may be of benefit at some airports.

That is a point that is often misunderstood by some airport caretakers.
