Runway Incursion - any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft. Currently, the FAA reviews all surface incidents, identifies runway incursions, and assigns a severity. The FAA categorizes runway incursions using the ICAO definition of incursions and the ICAOseverity categories. The FAA systematically categorizes each Runway Incursion into two sets of categories. One category set is bas ed on the severity of its outcome and the other is based on the
cause of the incident. As shown below, Category A isthe most serious and Category D is the least serious.
C. No person will conduct Aircraft refueling operations unless the Aircraft is properly bonded to the refueling equipment.

Vehicle operators must pay special attention to all service roads that cross taxiways, and further adjust their speed accordingly. Vehicle operators responding to emergencies must drive safely, and adjust their speed according to conditions. F. No person will operate a Ground Motor Vehicle too fast or too slow for conditions. When conditions warrant, Ground Motor Vehicle operators must adjust their speed as reasonably necessary. Examples of conditions that may require slower speeds include, but are not limited to, those conditions relevant to prudent vehicular operation listed in Section 14below, "Careless and Reckless Driving."
