Q

Field Length
CASE I: NORMAL TAKEOFF

A

FL = FS +CL

CL = 0.50[TOD – 1.15(LOD)]
TOD = 1.15(D35)
FS = TOD
TOR =TOD –CL

Field Length
CASE II: ENGINE-FAILURE TAKEOFF

A

FL = FS +CL

CL = 0.50[TOD –LOD]
TOD = D35
FS = TOD
TOR =TOD -CL

17
Q

Field Length
CASE II: ENGINE-FAILURE ABORTED TAKEOFF

A

FL = FS + SW
FL = DAS

18
Q

Field Length
CASE III: LANDING CASE

A

FS = LD

LD = SD/0.60

19
Q

Formulas to determine the required field length and the various components of length (Full-strength pavement, stopway, and clearway)

A

FL = max (TOD, DAS, LD)
FS = max (TOR, LD)
SW = DAS – max (TOR, LD)
CL = min (FL –DAS,CL)

min CL and SW = 0

20
Q

a design surface but is also an operational surface and must be kept clear during operations

A

Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ)

21
Q

a defined volume of airspace centered above the runway centerline, above a surface whose elevation at any point is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline

A

Runway Obstacle Free Zone (ROFZ)

22
Q

a defined volume of airspace centered on the approach area. It applies only to runways with an ALS

A

Inner-approach OFZ

23
Q

a defined volume of airspace along the sides of the ROFZ and inner-approach OFZ. It applies only to runways with lower than 3/4 statute mile (1.2 km) approach visibility minimums

A

Inner-transitional OFZ

24
Q

defined as a volume of airspace above an area beginning at the threshold elevation and centered on the extended runway centerline

A

Precision Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ)

25
Q

enhance the protection of people and property on the ground

A

Runway Protection Zone (RPZ)

26
Q

an area extending beyond the runway end available for completion of the takeoff operation of turbine-powered aircraft

A

clearway

27
Q

the major interface between the airfield and the rest of the
airport

A

the terminal area

28
Q

the major connection between ground access and the aircraft

A

The Passenger Terminal

29
Q

Three Major Components of Passenger Terminal System

A
  • access interface
  • processing component
  • flight interface
30
Q
  1. Responsive to the needs of the people relative to convenience, comfort, and personal requirements
  2. Provision of effective passenger and access orientation through concise, comprehensive directional graphics
  3. Separation of enplaning and deplaning roadway and curb fronts to ensure maximum operational efficiency
  4. Provision of convenient access to public and employee parking facilities, rental car areas, ancillary facilities, and on-site non-aviation facilities.
A

Passenger’s Objectives (Design Consideration)

31
Q
  1. Accommodation of existing and future aircraft fleets with maximum operational efficiency
  2. Provision of direct and efficient means of passenger and baggage flow for all passengers
  3. Provision for economic, efficient, and effective security
  4. Provision of facilities which will embrace the latest energy conservation measures
A

Airline Objectives (Design Consideration)

32
Q
  1. Maintenance of the existing terminal operations, access system, runway system, and auxillary facilities during all stages of construction
  2. Provision of facilities which generates maximum revenues from concessionaires and other sources
  3. Provision of facilities which minimize maintenance and operating expense
A

Airport Management Objectives (Design Consideration)

33
Q
  1. Render a unique and appropriate expression and impression of the community
  2. Provision of harmony with the existing architectural elements of the total terminal complex
  3. Coordination with the existing planned off-airport highway system
A

Community Objectives (Design Consideration)

34
Q

consists of a common waiting and ticketing area with exits leading to the aircraft-parking apron

A

The Linear Gate Arrival Concept

35
Q

has an interface with aircraft along piers extending from the
main terminal area

A

The Pier Concept

36
Q

consists of a building surrounded by aircraft, which is separated from the terminal and is usually reached by means of a surface, underground, or above ground connector

A

The Satellite Concept

37
Q

Aircraft and aircraft-servicing functions is
remotely located from the terminal. The connection to the terminal is provided by
vehicular transport for enplaning and deplaning passengers.

A

The Transporter Concept

38
Q

a service center for interfacing air and ground activities in an airport. The basic purpose of the terminal area is handling passengers, baggage, and cargo.

A

The land side terminal
