There are many types of Airside Vehicle Operator’s Permit for airports, which designate the areas where the holder is authorized to drive.
An Airside Vehicle Operator’s Permit (AVOP) certifies airport employees to operate vehicles and equipment airside. This includes, aprons, taxiways or runways, depending on the AVOP type. Tracking all of this information is critical to the successful running of an airport’s safety management program.
With the Q5 SMS software, an airport can more efficiently keep track of their issued permits, and associated certifications of both their personnel and the various equipment.
For personnel, this includes related training certifications, expiry dates, driver’s licenses, endorsements, related documents and infraction tickets.
For equipment, the software is able to track insurance, inspection reports, vehicle registrations and copies of decals.
No longer does an safety officer have to track all of this information in excel spreadsheets and document folders. Also, it enables the safety officer to significantly reduce the amount of time to run data reports. Applicable Q5SMS AVOP reports can now be obtained in seconds, not hours, or even possibly days through the manual paper/excel process.
The Q5 software also provides data reporting for tracking expiry dates for all of the above.
