AAAE CM Module 2-1 Exam Questions
and Answers
Airport Layout Plan - Answer ALP, drawings and diagrams used to graphically depict
the current and future layout of an airport.
(1) Cover Sheet
(2) The Airport Layout Drawing (known as the ALP sheet or the ALP drawing sheet) (3)
The Airport Airspace Drawing
(4) The Inner Portion of the Approach Surface Drawing
(5) The Terminal Area Drawing (or Plan)
(6) The Land Use Drawing
(7) The Runway Departure Surfaces Drawing
(8) The Airport Property Map
The five primary functions of the ALP - Answer 1. It is an FAA-approved plan necessary
for the airport to receive AIP funding and to continue to receive PFC funding;
2. It is a blueprint for airport development;
3. It is a public document that serves as a record of aeronautical requirements and is
available for community reference;
4. It enables the FAA and the Airport Sponsor to plan for improvements;
5. It is a working tool for airport staff including operations and maintenance personnel.
ALP sheet - Answer contains a tremendous amount of data, including existing and
future airfield layout (runways, taxiways, taxi lanes, ramp areas), facilities, lines
depicting runway safety areas, object free areas, obstacle free zones, runway protection
zones, the airport property lines, the building restrictions line, the runway visibility line,
and the locations of the tower and other facilities (ARFF stations, etc.).
Data Sheet - Answer contains airport and runway data tables and wind rose. A wind
rose is a diagram showing the percentage of time the wind blows from a particular
direction at a particular speed. Runways are normally aligned with the prevailing winds.
Crosswind (winds coming from a direction other than the runway heading) runways are
built to accommodate smaller aircraft that are more susceptible to crosswind effects
than larger ones
