Accordingly, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam requires units to strictly comply with operating procedures and regulations on duty time and rest for aviation staff. In particular, pilots must strictly comply with standard operating procedures, especially during the important stages of the flight, including: taxiing, takeoff, and landing.

During taxiing, the pilot must increase observation, proactively identify important intersections, hot spots, intersections, narrow taxiways or areas with high density of activities. If there is any doubt about the safe distance from surrounding obstacles, the pilot must immediately stop moving and notify air traffic control.

Pilots must listen to, repeat and confirm the instructions of air traffic controllers to ensure compliance with regulations and procedures; only perform tasks related to safety assurance, do not use personal vehicles to take photos or record videos; strengthen internal inspection, evaluation and supervision on flights...

Air traffic controllers at the air traffic control tower ensure full and comprehensive observation and supervision during the operation of the shift; effectively use support equipment such as ground monitoring systems, binoculars, etc. to promptly detect and handle arising and unusual situations, and aircraft taxiing and parking conditions that are not in accordance with regulations.

The Civil Aviation Authority requires airport and airfield operators to review and inspect the system of signs, road markings, signal paints, and lighting systems to ensure the system's readiness for service, ensure operational safety; prevent intrusion into runways and avoid collisions with aircraft at airports and airfields with high traffic density.
