The intent of the Airport Motor Vehicle Inspection Program is to decrease the potential for accidents that could occur within the public airport, especially the air operations area. scope. The inspection procedures are geared primarily toward the major mechanical components and functions of the specialized vehicles operating within the airport operations area, without getting into the detailed inspections of each component or function. • Inspections. Each vehicle and applicable trailer shall be inspected at least once a year in accordance with the procedures contained in this handbook by inspectors certified by the Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Safety Office. Inspections will be conducted at locations or stations designated or established by the Director. Applications for vehicle safety inspections may be obtained at each respective district office of the Department located at Honolulu International Airport, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819; Hilo International Airport, Hilo, Hawaii 96720; Kona International Airport at Keahole, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740; Kahului Airport, Kahului, Hawaii 96732; or Lihue Airport, Lihue, Hawaii 96766. Inspection Decals. A safety inspection decal will be issued for each vehicle and applicable trailer that satisfactorily passes the airport motor vehicle safety inspection. These safety inspections shall be valid for one year from the date of certification, unless d~termined otherwise for cause by the Director of Transportation. Inspection decals shall be located on the vehicle rear bumper, right side, or for vehicles without bumpers, conspicuously located on vehicle rear, lower right side. Inspection Fees. An inspection fee to cover the expenses of administering the airport motor vehicle inspection program will be assessed each inspected vehicle. Fees may vary slightly from district to district depending on cost for program administration. 1. A fee of no more than $12 shall be charged by an airport vehicle inspection station for each safety inspection performed. -2- 2. The Director of Transportation may collect a fee of $1.50 for each vehicle safety inspection decal issued by an airport vehicle inspection station. All monies collected shall be paid into the State airport revenue fund. -3- PART II Inspection Procedures -4- Section 1. Registration The first step in the inspection of a vehicle should be verification of registration (AOA decal) and identification (company/organization markings). A. B. Procedure Verify registration is current (check AOA decal-month and year). Check vehicle for company or organization identification (distinctive coloring or markings displayed on each side of the vehicle). -5- Reject Vehicle If registration (AOA decal) has expired.

(Visually inspect for wear, chassis interference, or leakage that could cause hydraulic system failure.) -7- If the warning light fails to operate when tested according to appropriate method. The vehicle should also be rejected if the light comes on when the brakes are applied or if the light is on continuously. If any additional decrease in pedal height is felt or measured after the initial application or if the warning light illuminates or visible signs of fluid leakage from brake system is noted. If pedal travel from its free height to its depressed height is more than 80 per cent of total possible travel or free height. Pedal reserve must always be more than 20 per cent of the total. If the vehicle fails to stop within 25 feet from 20 mph without swerving out of a 12-foot wide lane. If the brake hoses contact the body, suspension or wheels at any point or if the hoses are cracked, chafed, flattened, worn or leaking. Also reject the vehicle if copper tubing is used for brake lines. Procedure F. Inspect parking brakes.
