What is the aerodrome traffic circuit
Specified path to be flown by a/c operating in the vicinity of an AD
What is rwy holding position
Designated position intended to protect the rwy, an obstacle limitation surface or an ILS/MLS critical/sensitive area at which all a/c should stop and hold unless authorised by control tower
In phraseology what expression is used to designate the rwy holding position
Holding point
What is the manoeuvring area
Part of AD used for landing, t/I and taxiing of a/c excluding aprons
What is the movement area
Part of AD used for T/o, landing and taxiing a/c consists of manoeuvring area and aprons
Runway plus taxiways equals
Manoeuvring area
Maintenance are =
Aprons
Manoeuvring area plus aprons =
Movement area
Definition of rwy
Defined rectangular area on land AD prepare for landing and T/o of a/c
Non instrument rwy definition
Rwy intended for operation of a/c using visual approach procedures
What is a non precision approach rwy
Instrument rwy served by visual aids and a non visual aid providing at least directional guidance adequate for a straight in approach
What rwy are rwy shoulders provided for?
Cat D or E except where rwy width is 60m or more
What is AD elevation
Elevation of highest point on the landing area
What is an apron
Defined area intended to accommodate a/c for purpose of loading or unloading passengers,mail or cargo, fuelling, parking or maintenance
What is AD reference point
Designated geographical location on AD usually centre of longest rwy
Taxiing definition
Movement of a/c on surface of AD under its own power excluding t/o or landing
What is a taxiway
Defined path on AD established for taxiing a/c and intended to provide a link between one part of AD and another
What is a/c stand taxilane
Portion of AD designated taxiway and intended to provide access to a/c stands only
Apron taxiway definition
Portion of a taxiway system located on an apron and intended to provide a through route across the apron
Rapid exit taxiway definition
Taxiway connected at an acute angle and designed to allow landing aeroplanes to turn off at higher speeds minimising rwy occupancy times
Angle more than 25 degrees less that 45
What should AD controllers maintain a continuous watch on
All flight operations on and in vicinity of AD
Vehicles and personnel
On the manoeuvring area
What happens if there are more than 1 AD within a control zone?
Traffic at all AD within control zone shall be coordinated so that traffic circuits do not conflict
Hot spot definition
Location on AD movement area with a history or potential risk of collision or rwy incursion and where heightened attention by pilots/drivers is necessary
