When are Blue-Stripe vehicles required to utilize headlights?

Blue-Stripe vehicles are required to utilize headlights at all times while operating on the airfield to enhance visibility and safety. This requirement is crucial because the airfield environment can change dramatically based on weather, lighting, and traffic conditions. Using headlights ensures that these vehicles are clearly visible to others, including pilots, other vehicles, and ground personnel, reducing the risk of accidents and improving safety for everyone operating in the area.

While there are specific times such as nighttime and during certain operations, the overarching rule mandates that headlights be used consistently throughout all operations to maintain high visibility at all times. This is particularly important in an active airport environment where clarity of movement is essential for efficient and safe operations.
