What document, that provides information to the pilot, must be updated on an annual
basis?
Airport Facility Directory
What is the NPIAS?
Plan that identifies 3,300+ public airports, their role, and amounts and types of airport
development eligibility (AIP)
What are the FAA principles related to airports?
Safe and efficient
Affordable
Flexible & Expandable
Permanent
Maintain a balance
Support national objectives
Extensive
Why are state and/or regional plans conducted?
To form a connected system of transportation
What are the steps of an airport master plan?
Technical Report
Summary Report
ALP
Web Page
Public Info Kit
What are the goals of public involvement and environmental reviews during the master
plan update?
Balance the need for stakeholder involvement with the costs and time
What does the existing conditions tell the airport operator?
Historical review of the airport and its facilities, airspace structures and NAVAIDS, land
use, activity and socioeconomic factors
What are the various methods of forecasting, the factors that affect the forecasts, and
the forecast models
Factors:
Economic characteristic
Demographics
Geographic attributes
Aviation related factors
Other factors
Methods:
Regression Analysis - ties demand to enplanements, population and income
Trend Analysis and Extrapolation - Historical pattern
, Market Share Analysis - local forecasts represent shares of larger forecasts
Smoothing - focuses on recent trends and conditions
Whats the difference between Facility Requirements and the Forecasts?
Facility Requirements compare the current facilities to the forecasted demand of the
facilities
What is the function of the Facilities Implementation Plan?
List of potential projects to meet the Facility Requirements
What is the function of the Financial Feasibility Analysis?
Projects the impact the projects will have on operating revenues and expenses, etc.
What is a Safety Area and why does it exist?
Rectangular area including runway or taxiway to use in an event of an undershoot,
overshoot or excursion
What is the function of the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ)?
Designed to protect the final approach areas
What is the function of the Obstacle Free Zone (OBZ)?
Extends 200 feet beyond each runway and 150 feet high to represent clear airspace
What is the function of the Object Free Area (OFA)?
Nothing except fixed by function, frangible or mobile
Ground area centered on runway
Explain how Stopways and Clearways are used
Stopways - used to support and minimize damage to an airplane in the event of an
overrun
Clearways - end of a runway suitable for use in calculating aircraft takeoff performance
Why are Declared Distanced sometimes used?
For takeoff performance
What are taxiway design principles?
Main Gear Width
Cockpit to Main Gear Distance
3 types of aprons
1. Terminal - passenger and cargo
2. Remote - for Remain Overnight parking or storage, also known as hardstands
3. Hangar - surface in front of a hangar used for aircraft movement
What is a Stand Guidance System?
Visual aids for aircraft parking locations
What are heliport design principles?
Maximum Wight/Minimum Contact Area
Rotor Diameter
Describe the construction safety meeting process
1. Pre-design - discuss parameters (pre-bids)
2. Design
3. Preconstruction - discuss phasing, security, labor, safety
