Which offices must be consulted to coordinate airfield barriers?

• A. Airfield Manager only.
• B. Civil Engineering and Flying Safety Office.
• C. Airfield Manager and Civil Engineering.
• D. Airfield Manager, Civil Engineering, and Flying Safety Office.

Answer: (D)

Coordinating airfield barriers requires input from the offices that manage operations, infrastructure, and safety. The Airfield Manager handles how barriers affect daily airfield operations, including vehicle and personnel access and coordination with units. Civil Engineering provides the technical design, construction, and maintenance of the barriers, ensuring they meet structural and security standards and can withstand environmental and security demands. The Flying Safety Office focuses on flight safety implications, potential interference with aircraft movements, and the procedures for barrier deployment during emergencies or abnormal conditions. Bringing these perspectives together ensures barriers are effective, safe, and compatible with mission needs, preventing gaps that would arise if only one or two areas were consulted.
