What is an airport?
A certified aerodrome
Define aerodrome
-Any area of land or water that is designed for the arrival, departure, movement, and servicing of aircraft.
-Known as a registered aerodrome in the CFS.
What are the requirements to maintain airport status?
-It is Inspected and maintained to TC requirements.
-The current status is to be advertised to all interested aircraft operators through the CFS (Canada Flight Supplement), Canada Air Pilot (CAP), NOTAM, and voice advisory as applicable.
What is the manoeuvring area of an airport?
parts of the aerodrome intended for taxiing, taking off and landing of aircraft
(Taxiways and Runways)
Define apron
The area intended for the loading of cargo, passengers, refueling, parking, etc.
What is the movement area of an airport?
Those parts of an aerodrome used for the surface movement of aircraft, including the manoeuvring areas and aprons.
No person shall walk, drive, or operate any vehicle on any part of an aerodrome or airport used for the movement of aircraft, except with permission from..
The operator, or where applicable the appropriate ATC or FSS
How are runways numbered?
Magnetic bearing rounded off to nearest 10 degrees. ( southern domestic airspace )
How are boundaries of unprepared runways marked?
- conical or gable-type markers (highway-type cone markers are acceptable) or by evergreen trees in winter.
• Not more than 90 m (300 ft) apart along each side of the runway.
• No boundary markers are required if the entire movement area is clearly delineated from that of the surrounding ground.
• The markers are typically coloured international orange and white or solid international orange.
• Airports use international orange and white.
How is a displaced threshold marked?
Line across runway with arrow heads pointing to it
Can be used for taxiing and the takeoff
roll or landing rollout from the opposite direction. IFR MUST KNOW
• Has not met the standard obstacle
clearance requirements for landing according to instrument procedures
• Landing before this mark is at pilot’s discretion, VFR can use.
• NOTE: When the threshold must be displaced for a relatively short period of time, painting a temporary threshold bar is impractical. Instead, flags, cones, or wing bar lights are installed to indicate the position of the displaced threshold.
-A NOTAM or voice advisory warning of the temporary displacement will contain a description of the markers and the expected duration of the displacement in addition to the length of the closed portion and the remaining usable runway.
How is a stopway marked?
marked with yellow chevrons when its length exceeds 60 m.
• This area is not available for taxiing, the initial take-off roll, or the landing rollout.
MUST KNOW
• Pre-Threshold areas and Stopways are paved but non-load bearing.
• These are designed to stop an aircraft from overrunning the runway.
• Provides room to stop if an aircraft abandons takeoff
• The chevron markings may also be used on blast pads.
How is a taxiway marked?

If there is no hold short line, how far back from the edge of the runway should you hold?
200ft, helicopters should hold 700 ft from operations.
Can you cross a runway without a clearance?
No
What side of a hold short line should you hold before entering runway?
Solid line side
After landing you may cross the line and hold on taxiway side until further instruction has been given.
What can you ask ATC for if you’re unfamiliar with the taxiways at an airport?
A progressive taxi
How are closed marking identified?
Large white crosses (X) on the runway and yellow crosses (X) at each end of the taxiway

At least 15 KT
Runways greater than …… require a windsock at each end.
1200 m or 4000 ft

It is advised that pilots re-key lights before approach to ensure reset of full 15 minute lighting period
What is a standard circuit?
1000 ft AGL left hand turns, UNLESS specified in CFS then use that.
Unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate air traffic control
(ATC) unit or except for the purpose of taking off or landing, an aircraft shall not be flown over an aerodrome at…
Less than 2000 ft AGL
• If it is necessary for an aircraft to cross the aerodrome before joining the circuit to check the winds and traffic, it is recommended that the crossover be accomplished at least 500 feet above the circuit altitude.
How often is the CFS updated?
Every 56 days
