safe distance in front of taxiing aircraft

[staraviator]

Hai friends,

Wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Is there any standard distance specified for a vehicle crossing in front of a taxing aircraft.

Now i am preparing some ground procedures at our airport.

Any body please give any input which will be helpful.

I don't know or heard of a standard set, but in reality you find all kind of. In Europe I heard of local airport definition that nobody is allowed to use or cross a taxiway where a plane is taxiing on, in Africa you have to be always prepared to get a motorcycle three inches in front of the cockpit crossing ...

Nothing that I've heard of - ex ATCO.

For the airport I work at we were careful about wording and guidelines...from memory (and I haven't checked!) we stated something like "vehicles must not impede aircraft in any way" and the guideline safe distance was never closer than 2 stands width away....which equated to around 90m for us (we have relatively small aircraft!).
Hope that helps.
