The entire apron
What pavements require an ACN and a PCN?
Aircraft over mass of 5700kg
When is a pavement safe to use?
PCN is greater or equal to ACN
How is the PCN calculated for ac less than 5700kg?
- the max allowable mass
- the max tyre pressure
When are the 4 declared distances all equal tot the length of the rwy?
- no stopway or clearway
- no displaced threshold
What are the three defined states of frozen water on a rwy?
Snow, slush and ice
In which chapter of annex 14 can you find info on rwy width?
Chapter 3 - physical characteristics
Define a rwy strip
An area including the rwy and stopway where obstacles are kept to a minimum (only visual aids allowed)
What is the purpose of the rwy strip?
To protect the aircraft from damage during takeoff, landing and runway excursions
What is the only fixed objects allowed in the rwy strip?

What is a RESA?
Area to protect aircraft during overshoots and undershoots the rwy
What are the required dimensions of the RESA?
At least twice the width of the rwy and extend from the rwy by at least 90m
What are the required dimensions of the radio altimeter operating area?
Extend from threshold by at least 300m and 60m each side of the centreline
For rapid exit taxiways what is the required angle?
Not more than 45 degrees and not less than 25 degrees (preferably 30 degrees)
What is the purpose of rapid exit taxiways?
Enable lower rwy occupancy times
As you turn a corner on a taxiway what must you follow?
