Which statement about construction in TOFA is correct?

• A. Construction may occur in TOFA under a safety plan.
• B. Construction may not occur in TOFA under any circumstances.
• C. Construction is allowed during non-operational hours.
• D. Construction is allowed if escorted by a safety officer.

Answer: (B)

In TOFA, safety and uninterrupted airfield operations take priority, so the area must remain clear of construction activities. Introducing construction equipment, debris, or temporary structures in this zone creates hazards that can affect aircraft movement, ground operations, and overall situational awareness. Even with a safety plan, during non-operational hours, or if an escort by a safety officer is present, the risk cannot be fully mitigated in such a critical area. For this reason, construction is not allowed in TOFA under any circumstances, and any required work should be moved outside TOFA or planned with approved alternatives and procedures that keep the area clear.
