19
Q

What delineates a runway with a displaced threshold from a blast pad, stopway, or an aligned taxiway that precedes the runway?

A

Demarcation Bar (yellow in color)

20
Q

________ is a surface adjacent to the ends of a runway provided to reduce the erosive effect of jet blast and propeller wash.

A

Blast Pad

21
Q

_________ is an area beyond the takeoff runway able to support the airplane during an aborted takeoff.

A

Stopway

22
Q

EMAS (engineered materials arresting systems)

A

constructed of high energy-absorbing materials of selected strength, are located in the safety area beyond the end of the runway

23
Q

What areas are marked with large yellow chevrons pointing in the direction of the threshold?

A

blast pad, stopway and EMAS areas

24
Q

How do you identify a permanently closed runway?

lighting circuits are disconnected; yellow crosses are painted at each end of the runway and in 1,000 ft intervals; threshold, runway designation, and touchdown zone markings are obliterated

25
Q

What type of runway has yellow crosses at the ends only?

27
Q

What have a black background with yellow inscriptions and a yellow border?

A

Runway Location Signs (yellow on black is where you’re at)

28
Q

__________ have a black background with white inscriptions and inform the pilot of the distance (in thousands of feet) of landing runway remaining.

A

Runway distance remaining sign

29
Q

_________ have a red background with a white inscription and are used to denote an entrance to a runway of critical area, and areas where an aircraft is prohibited from entering.

A

Mandatory Instruction Signs (white on red, stop or you’re dead)

30
Q

Taxiway location signs are marked by a ______________.

A

black background with a yellow inscription and a yellow border (yellow on black is where you’re at)

31
Q

________ are marked by a yellow background with a black inscription and always have an arrow.

A

Taxiway direction signs (black on yellow, follow a fellow)

32
Q

The centerline of a taxiway is marked with a ________ line.

A

continuous yellow

33
Q

A

touchdown zone

34
Q

Name the following heliport markings:

  • civil heliports
  • hospital heliports
  • closed heliports
A
  • civil: white H

A

at night or during restricted weather conditions (surface visibility is less than 3 statutes miles and/or the ceiling is less than 1,000 ft
