We run your ground vehicle operation classes on-site — initial, recurrent, and remedial — so your drivers stay compliant with 14 CFR 139.329 and your program is ready for any FAA inspection. You keep the records; we do the teaching.
Every person who operates a vehicle in your movement and safety areas must be trained before they drive and again every 12 months — with records retained and a program the FAA can validate. For a small ops team, building and running that program is a real burden. That's what we take off your plate.
And this training does more than satisfy an inspector. Vehicle and pedestrian deviations cause roughly one in five runway incursions nationwide, and the FAA's own prevention guidance — AC 150/5210-20A and Part 139 CertAlert 22-07 — names structured, recurrent driver training as the front-line defense against them. Every driver we train is one less chance your airport shows up in the incursion feed above.
Proven on the airfield, not just on paper. Our founder first built this driver-training program in 2002, then adapted it for an airfield in combat airspace — Al Taqaddum Airport, Iraq — where it cut runway incursions by 99% almost immediately, and kept delivering long after his tour ended.
Our help escalates in clear steps: from a self-serve online license you run yourself (Level 1), up to a fully managed program where we run the entire function and teach it in person (Level 4). Every level is built around the FAA's guidance in AC 150/5210-20A — and every plan is customized to your airport, from your Airfield Diagram and Operations Manual down to your hot spots and local procedures. We scale to any field, from a single-runway GA strip to a major hub.
Most airports should start at Level 2. You already run driver training in-house, and you should keep running it — your ops staff know your field. What most airports don't have is a defensible, airport-specific curriculum and a records system that holds up to an FAA inspection. Level 2 builds both, trains your trainers, and hands you the whole thing. One project, then it's yours.
Our pricing is published below. No discovery call required to find out what something costs.
The lightest-touch level: you run it, we host it. License our self-paced, airport-branded course and issue enrollment keys to your drivers, tenants, and contractors.
We build your complete, airport-specific training program once and hand it over — with a train-the-trainer session — for your team to run in-house. You keep running your own training. It just gets defensible.
We show up and teach. Most often called in after a vehicle or pedestrian deviation, when the program that was in place is the thing that needs review.
The full-service level: we own the entire training function year-round — scheduling, in-person delivery, testing, records, and audit support — so you stop thinking about it.

Every level is customized to your airport — built from your Airfield Diagram, Airfield Operations Manual, hot spots, and local procedures.
Prices are per airport and cover the full program. Travel is billed at cost for on-site work. Curriculum and materials are delivered under a perpetual license to your airport — you can use, copy, and teach from them indefinitely, including after our engagement ends.
The heart of 139.329 is two-way communication between vehicles and the control tower. Your trainer spent 14 years as a Control Tower Supervisor, alongside a career of air traffic control management roles — directing exactly the movement-area coordination your drivers need to get right.
Your drivers won't just learn the rules — they'll understand how the tower sees the airfield, why phraseology matters, and what a controller needs from a vehicle on the movement area.
That perspective is what turns a checkbox class into training that genuinely lowers your runway-incursion and surface-incident risk.
A short call to scope your airport, driver count, and current program.
We import your Airfield Diagram and Airfield Operations Manual (AOM) and build the course around your layout, hot spots, and local procedures.
Classroom + practical delivery on your schedule, or a self-paced course.
You receive exams, completions, and audit-ready records.
On-site delivery and program support wherever you operate; our hosted online course is available worldwide. Travel scoped per engagement.
Prices for Levels 1 through 3 are published above — you don't need to call to learn them. Tell us about your airfield and we'll confirm which level fits, or scope a Level 4 managed program, which is the one that genuinely has to be quoted.
