Module 2 Flashcards
An airport consists of what 3 primary areas?
Landside
Terminal
Airside
area consists of intermodal and ground access areas, such as ingress and egress routes
to the terminal building, parking garages, rental car facilities, public transportation, and other
airport support areas. Functional areas within a commercial service airport typically include
passenger terminal ticketing counters, baggage claim areas, concessions, restrooms, public
assembly areas, airline clubs, mechanical space, ground transportation, security screening, and
administrative areas for the airport operator, airlines, and other tenants are considere to be what part of the airport ?
Landside
include intermodal transportation, vendor storage, pet areas, business centers, and areas for
employees such as daycare facilities for children of airport personnel and fitness facilities. Often,
a GA terminal is co-located with an FBO and includes administrative areas, flight planning, pilot
lounges, and meeting and training rooms are considered to be what part of the Airport? ?
Terminal
includes the runways, taxiways, and aircraft
parking areas within the perimeter fence is considered to be what part of the terminal ?
Airside
Grant Assurance #29 Airport Layout Plan requires that the Airport Sponsor keep the
______ _______ ____updated at all times
Airport Layout plan
(1) Cover Sheet
(2) The Airport Layout Drawing (known as the ALP sheet or the ALP drawing sheet)
(3) The Airport Airspace Drawing
(4) The Inner Portion of the Approach Surface Drawing
(5) The Terminal Area Drawing (or Plan)
(6) The Land Use Drawing
(7) The Runway Departure Surfaces Drawing
(8) The Airport Property Map (usually referred to as Exhibit A)
these are typically included in what?
The Airport Layout plan Grant assurance # 29
- It is an FAA-approved plan necessary for the airport to receive AIP funding and to
continue to receive PFC funding; - It is a blueprint for airport development;
- It is a public document that serves as a record of aeronautical requirements and is
available for community reference; - It enables the FAA and the Airport Sponsor to plan for improvements;
- It is a working tool for airport staff including
operations and maintenance personnel.
These are the 5 primary functions of what ?
The Airport Layout Plan
What part of the airport layout plan includes approval signature blocks, airport location maps, and other
data required by the FAA.
The cover sheet
What part of the airport layout plan contains a tremendous amount of data, including existing and future
airfield layout (runways, taxiways, taxi lanes, ramp areas), facilities, lines depicting
runway safety areas, object free areas, obstacle free zones, runway protection zones,
the airport property lines, the building restrictions line, the runway visibility line, and
the locations of the tower and other facilities (ARFF stations, etc.)
ALP Sheet
what part of the ALP contains airport and runway data tables and wind rose. A wind rose is
a diagram showing the percentage of time the wind blows from a particular direction
at a particular speed. Runways are normally aligned with the prevailing winds.
Crosswind (winds coming from a direction other than the runway heading) runways
are built to accommodate smaller aircraft that are more susceptible to crosswind
effects than larger ones. Information on historic wind data can be obtained from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climatic Data Center website.
The Data Sheet
what part of the ALP depicts existing and future facilities and, for larger airports,
can go on for several pages. The facilities layout plan is essentially a closer look at
the facilities located at the airport
The Facilities layout plan
what part of the alp is provided to depict the airport terminal and its surrounding
facilities. A structure’s height is usually noted along with any obstruction, marking,
or lighting. For small GA airports, a separate terminal drawing may not be necessary
if adequate detail is available on the airport layout drawing. The terminal drawing
further shows the ground access to the airport terminal area, along with the major
highway routes from the airport toward a central business district, other points of
destination, or key arterial systems. If applicable, other modes of access, such as rail
or water, are also shown
Terminal Area Plan
what part of the ALP contains required elements and are intended to show all
imaginary surfaces identified in FAR Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation
of the Navigable Airspace.
airport airspace drawings
what part of the ALP - are required elements and
include a profile view that presents all runway approaches and the location of objects
as they affect the approach. The profiles show the existing and planned runway
length. Obstruction data tables and charts are also included on the airspace drawing
that provide information about the disposition of the obstruction—proposed removal,
lighting, marking, etc. The inner approach drawing may also depict other approach
surfaces including the threshold-siting surface and those surfaces associated with the
U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS)
the inner portions of the approach surface drawing
what part of the ALP depict existing and recommended
uses of all land within the ultimate airport property line and within the vicinity of the
airport, at least to the 65 DNL noise contour. The purpose of the drawing is to provide
airport management with a plan for leasing revenue-producing areas on the airport
and for providing guidance on determining allowable compatible uses such as ones for farming, recreational, commercial, or industrial purposes. The drawing also provides guidance to local planning commissions for the establishment of appropriate
airport-area zoning
the on-airport and off-airport land use drawings
is a drawing that depicts how various tracts of land were
acquired. It includes easements outside the airport property line. The purpose of the
what part of the alp provides a property map, often termed “Exhibit A” on AIP grant applications, is to identify the
legal interest and ownership of land that makes up the airport. The map assists the
FAA in determining and analyzing the current and future use of land acquired with
federal funds. The property map and the ALP are required to be current at all times
and are submitted as part of any AIP Grant application
. The airport property map
this part of the ALP depicts applicable departure surfaces
The runway departure surface drawing
this part of the ALP depicts the location and capacity of all utilities on and around the
airport.
the utility Drawing
This part of the ALP depict major routes and modes of transportation that serve
the airport. These plans are normally used if access to the airport is a significant issue.
The AIrport Access Plans
what are the 3 levels of approval for an airport lay out plan? and what do they mean
Conditional -environmental processing has not been completed for all of the items of proposed development
requiring it
unconditional -all items of proposed development requiring environmental processing have received environmental approval
mixed -means that some near-term projects
depicted in the ALP have completed the required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
reviews while long-term projects have not
The airport data record is complated how often
annually
(NPIAS) is a 5-year plan updated
and published by the FAA every how many years
2 year
this plan is a 5-year plan updated
and published by the FAA every two years. The NPIAS lists public-use airports and
identifies needs that are eligible for federal financial planning and development
assistance (e.g. development projects, certain equipment, and planning projects) on
airports that are considered to be in the national interest.
national plan of integrated airport systems
______ ______ _____ _____ planning identifies the general location and
characteristics of new airports and the general expansion needs of existing facilities to
meet statewide air transportation goals. This planning is performed or sponsored by
state transportation or aviation planning agencies
Statewide integrated airport systems
