Hi;
Please could someone here give me an helping hand...some days ago i witnessed a nice discussion between some airport authorities (european airport) and some crew regarding WIP vehicles signalization at maneuvering area.
Some said still mandatory the use of Flags atop of the vehicle, some said no longer mandatory the use of "crossed red@white flags" on vehicles.
Well, being honest i only saw those vehicles using flags at Portugal & Spain, in other countries and airports with WIP i did not see any vehicles with any flags, working at those manvr. areas..
Eg: Recently i passed through LHR and IST, some WIP near TWYs and RWYs, vehicles with no flags.
Where can i find that legislation regarding any obligation of flags for a WIP vehicle?
...thanks a lot; JF.
