2. NFPA 405<Ans> Recommended practic for the recurring proficiency training of aircraft
rescue and fire fighting services
3. NFPA 1003<Ans> Standard for Airport Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications
must be certified as (ff 1/2) and hazmat (NFPA 472)
4. Entry Level requirements<Ans> educational requirements by
AHJ age requirement by AHJ
Medical requirements of NFPA 1582
5. -Controlled airport<Ans> Usually but not always staffed by FFA personnel
6. TWO BASIC TYPES OF AIRPORTS<Ans> Uncontrolled / Controlled
7. -Uncontrolled airport<Ans> No control tower in operation
8. AIRPORT TRAFFIC PATTERNS<Ans> crosswing leg, downwind leg, base leg,
final approach.
9. -Crosswind leg<Ans> flight path at right angles to the landing runway off its upwind leg
10. -Downwind leg<Ans> Flight path parallel to the landing runway in the direction oppo-
site to landing; normally extends between the crosswind leg and the base leg
11. -Base leg<Ans> Flight path at a right angle to the landing runway off the approach
,end. The base leg normally extends from the downwind side leg to the intersection of the
extended runway line. The aircraft must make a 90-degree turn from the base leg before it
can begin its final approach.
12. -Final approach<Ans> Portion of the landing pattern in which the aircraft is lined up
with the runway and is heading straight in to land
13. AIRPORT RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY DESIGNATION SYSTEMS<Ans> Runway
de-
fined rectangular area on airports prepared for the takeoff or landing of aircraft along its
length
Taxiways-designed for aircraft to taxi to and from runways, hangars, ramps, and gates.
14. AIRPORT LIGHTS<Ans> Blue - are used to outline taxiways, are usually located
along the edges. (spaced 100 FT)
White - are used to outline the edges of runways and to identify runway centerlines.
(Outline-200FT, Centerline-50FT)
Green - used to identify the approach end of runways and some taxiway centerlines.
Red - are used to mark obstructions such as building structures, unserviceable areas, and th
departure end of the runway.
, (alternates red/white 3000FT and becomes red the last 1000FT)
Yellow or amber (guard lights) - used to identify locations of hold bars, areas that require
permission to cross from the control tower. (last 2000FT)
15. AIRPORT MARKINGS<Ans> White - used for runway identification numbers
and letters, landing zone bars, and striping
Red - used to designate restricted areas such as fire lanes and no entry areas.
Yellow - used for hold bars, taxiways, and Instrument Landing System (ILS) areas.
16. HOLD POSITION MARKINGS (HOLD LINES, HOLD BARS)<Ans> Airport
marker
for areas on the airport ramp, taxiways, and runways that can be crossed only with
permission from the control tower. (4 yellow lines, 2 solid/2 dashed)
17. Ramps<Ans> most congested area on an airport.
18. SIGNS<Ans> Runway hold position signs (White on red- stop ahead)
Location signs (Yellow on black- tell where you're at)
Direction sings (Black on yellow- tell a fellow)
19. FOD<Ans> Foreign Objects or Debris
20. ARFF FIRE STATIONS<Ans> Should be in central location where there is a good
view of the flight line, taxiways, apron/ramp, and hangar areas to allow ARFF personnel to
