Landside

What does landside include?

Parking lots, fuel tank farms and access roads

The movement of the airplanes on the airport surface

Airsides

What does airside include

Aprons

Airports are uniquely represented by their?

IATA Airport Code and ICAO Airport Code

IATA

International Air Transportation Association

ICAO

International Civil Aviation Organization

A UN Specialized Agency, is the global forum for civil aviation

ICAO

Airport Categories

International Airports, Domestic Airports, General Aviation

Has direct service to many other airports

International airports

Airports are usually longer

International airport

Airport which handles only domestic flight or flights within the same country

Domestic airport

Have short runways which are sufficient to handle short/medium haul aircraft

Domestic Airports

Defined by ICAO as all civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire.

General Aviation

Types of Airport

Civilian Airport, Military Airport, private airport

Airport that are open to the general public

Civilian airports

Airport intended for military used

Military Airports

Designated for private or restricted use only, not open to the general public

Private airports

Aircraft Characteristics

Span of wings, height, wheel base, tail width, minimum turning radius, gross take-off weight, take-off and landing distances, tire pressure and contact area, range

Markings on runway are colored?

White

Markings defining the landing area on heliport

White

Hospital heliports

Red H and white cross

Markings for taxiways, areas not intended for use by aircraft and holding positions

Yellow

Runway Classification

Visual Runways, Non-Precision Runways, Precision Runway

Marked with the runway number and a dashed runway center line

Visual runways

Do not incorporate an electric glide slope and the corresponding runway markings vary accordingly

Non-precision Runways

Used when the runways are served by non-visual precision approach aids such as ILS or PAR

Precision Runway

Precision runways provide some type of

Glide slope information

Runways are numbered (designation), to the nearest?

10° in relation to magnetic north

Identify the center of the runway for guidance on takeoff and landing

Rwy center line

The centerline consists of a series of?

Uniformly spaced lines and gaps along the center of the runway

Identify the beginning of the runway

Rwy threshold markings

Longitudinal stripes of uniform dimensions

Pre-threshold marking is provided where a runway has

A displaced threshold, stop way, closed pre-threshold area

Not all runway is available for landing

Displaced threshold

Indicate that the surface is fit for ground movement of aircraft only and not for landing

White arrows in pre threshold area

Threshold which is temporarily displaced

Permanent displaced threshold marking

The threshold is displaced for a period shorter than six months

Temporarily displaced threshold marking

Indicate the surface is unfit for normal aircraft movement, but suitable as stop way

Yellow chevrons

Indicates that the surface is unfit for normal aircraft movement and unsuitable as stop way

White cross

Provided on runways that have instrument approaches

Touchdown zone marking

What does touchdown zone marking consists of

Several pairs of rectangular blocks at 150 metre intervals from the threshold

Provide reference points for a pilot to assess their progress towards the fixed distance markers

Touchdown zone marking

Provided at some aerodromes as 'go-around points' for specific types of heavy aircraft that are runway restricted

Touchdown zone limit markings

Consists of a series of transeverse stripes in a right angle pattern

Touchdown zone limit markings

Two rectangular stripes either side of the runway centerline that are aligned to the PAPI

Aiming Point Markers

PAPI

Precision Approach Path Indicator

Consists of a rectangular block on each sude of the runway center line, 300 meters from the threshold

Fixed Distance Markers

Provided on ILS equipped runways and runways where the declared runway width is less than the paved width

Runway edge marking

White lines along the runway edge

Runway edge marking
