Airside driving permits
CAP 642 Airside Safety Management is, i believe, just a standardisation of airport safety and airside driving falls into this. To get your airside driving permit you need to take a course and pass a written and practical test which is done by you company, but standardised by CAP 642 and regulated by BAA.
If it's anything like what I had to do at Gatwick you'll have nothing to worry about because it's quite easy. Although i'm not too sure about other companies and jobs. For example, I can imagine that BAA Security (who are allowed on taxiways) would have a more in depth course.

The airside driving test is the easiest test out there. You can pass it without even taking the course. All the answers are just common sense, although some of the loaders have managed to fail it !!.

Just remember to listen to what you're being told and repeat it back.

Thanks again. I've got my first day on shift tomorrow, we're just trying to find a time to fit the driving course in. It's all good so far, you get to do work landside and airside, which makes it a bit more interesting i suppose!
