Declined Beacon Requirement on Sandy Shores Airfield.

[T.Maybery]

With it being an airfield, with active aircraft manoeuvring right up to the helipad, and occasionally past it, along with their being posts surrounding the airfield. To minimise risk to aircraft and any persons on the ground, I propose a requirement for any vehicles on the airfield to have an amber warning beacon fitted and activated when driving on the airfield, or to have a beacon escort. This stems from an incident today where NPAS were almost involved in a collision with a vehicle on the airfield.
