CMAV refers to what scenario?

• A. Entering CMA without approval and includes communication errors
• B. Entering CMA with approval and no errors
• C. Exiting CMA without paperwork
• D. Bypassing CMA entirely

Answer: (A)

CMAV describes a Controlled Movement Area Violation. It means entering the CMA without proper authorization and with communication errors. In the airfield driving environment, entry into the CMA must be cleared by the controlling authority and you must maintain correct radio communications; doing otherwise creates a risk to air traffic and is classified as a CMAV. So, the scenario that fits is entering CMA without approval and with communication errors. A scenario where entry is approved and flawless, exiting CMA without paperwork, or bypassing CMA entirely does not fit the CMAV definition.
