1. What is the Aircraft Approach Category based on (be specific)?
Reference Landing Speed (VREF).
2. What is the Airplane Design Group (ADG) based on?
ADG is based on wingspan or tail height.
3. List and describe three steps of the master plan process
1. Inventory of Existing Conditions: we need to know what the airport has currently
available (runways, bathrooms, roadways, security). We do an analysis of all the
airport inventory.
2. Forecast of Aviation Demand: we must make predictions of the future. We see a
analyze trends. When we have a reasonable forecast, then we can plan for the
next few years. Normally when we do a forecast, we will have trend lines.
3. Facility Requirements: Do I need another RWY? Yes (What type? how much it
costs? etc.). Terminal (how big needs to be? how much it costs?). Where should
I put it?
4. What is the definition of the design or critical aircraft?
The most stringent design requirement for a particular aspect of airport design.
5. Name three main types of runway approach classifications.
1. Visual
2. Non-precision Instrument
3. Approach Procedure with Vertical Guidance (APV)
6. What is the main purpose of a RSA?
Reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot,
or excursion from the runway. The RSA must be prepared and suitable for that.
7. What is the main purpose of an RPZ?
To enhance the protection of people and property on the ground.
8. What is the main purpose of the FAR Part 77 (imaginary) surfaces?
To protect aircraft approaching or departing an airport from obstructions to air
navigation.
