45 NOTE: The purpose of the Ground Vehicle Access Program Training Curriculum is to provide airport operators with a comprehen- sive list of training topics for educating vehicle operators who may have access to the airside of an airport. Each individual airport has unique situations that might require site-specific training. Airport operators may use this training curriculum as a guide for developing and implementing a detailed training program tailored to the airportâs individual situation. The purpose of a training program is to provide vehicle operators with the level of training necessary for their positions so they are capable of operating safely on the airside of an airport. Specific programs may be tailored to account for the items listed below: 1. Various infield aircraft navigation aids 2. Identification of a given point on a grid map or other stan- dard map used at the airport 3. Applicable airport rules, regulations, or procedures per- taining to vehicle operations 4.
