Q

Through Airports

A

Relatively high percentage of originating passengers combined with a low percentage of originating flights - high percentage of passengers remain on aircraft, less demand for airport amenities that are found in O&D

Q

Transfer Airports

A

Significant enplanements of passengers transferring or connecting to other flights - often associated with airline hubs, 30-60 min aircraft servicing, require more space for baggage transfers, concessions, and centralized security locations

25
Q

What percentage of parking is short term? (

A

80%

26
Q

Centralized Passenger Processing

A

All facilities are located in one building - able to serve large number of aircraft (GA, small hub airports)

27
Q

Conmbined Unit Terminal Buidling

A

Multiple airlines share a common building

28
Q

Multiple-Unit Terminal

A

Separate buildings constructed for each airline with each building becoming a unit-terminal

29
Q

Decentralized Processing

A

Passenger facilities are arranged in small modular unites and repeated in one ore more buildings

30
Q

Simple Terminal Design

A

Passengers walk onto ramp for waiting aircraft

31
Q

Linear Terminal Design

A

Simple terminal lengthened to accommodate traffic - increased walking distances are likely

32
Q

Pier FInger

A

Constructed from main terminal onto ramp when land constraints restrict expansion of simple/linear terminal

33
Q

Satellite

A

Gates located at ends of long concourses or connecting Automate People Mover Systems

34
Q

Transporter (Mobile Lounge)

A

Allows an aircraft to be remotely parked anywhere on ramp areas - transporter then shuttles passengers between aircraft and terminal

35
Q

Federal Inspection Services

A

Immigration, customs, agriculture, and public health - uses shortest routes for deplaning passengers

36
Q

Terminal Location Consdierations

A

Runway configuration; access to transport network; expansion potential; FAA geometric design standards; existing and planned facilities; terrain; environment impacts

37
Q

Who do heliports service?

A

Disaster relief, air ambulance, police, news, construction, tourism, transportation

38
Q

Does the FAA certify heliports?

A

No - operators are execmpt from Part 139 requirements

39
Q

What guidance is provided by the FAA for heliports?

A

AC 150/5390-2: Heliport Design - Provides guidance on Touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF) and Final approach and takeoff area (FATO)

40
Q

What is the TLOF?

A

Physical load bearing surface on which a helicopter land on and should be centered in the FATO

41
Q

Define seaplane base

A

Area of water that is used for takeoff and landing of aircraft, together with associated buildings and facilities on shore

42
Q

What is a sea-lane?

A

Area for takeoff and landing

43
Q

Who regulates seaplane markers and lighting?

A

A

Conditional approval, unconditional approval, mixed approval

50
Q

Define Conditional Approval

A

ALP depicts features that are safe and efficient, ALP has not yet completed environmental review, and the FAA has not yet authorized the airport to begin building the facilities shown on the ALP

Q

Define Unconditional Approval

A

Requirements are safe and efficient, along with the environmental review process, and that the FAA has authorized the building of facilities depicted on the ALP

52
Q

Define Mixed Approval

A

The near-term and immediate development shown on the ALP is unconditionally approved and longer-term projects are conditionally approved, pending environmental review

53
Q

What is the CATEX checklist?

A

Provides the FAA information about whether an item is categorically excluded from further environmental action, or whether there is an extraordinary circumstance that would trigger further environmental action such as an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

54
Q

Reasons for an Environmental Audit?

A

Determine baseline conditions, determine liabilities of new property, identify problems during construction, identify tenant problems and ensure compliance

55
Q

What are the elements of an Environmental Audit?

A

Assess categories of compliance that must be addressed, review of applicable regulations, discussions with key employees and experts, development of a formal report

Q

What government agency is responsible for enforcing environmental regulations?

A

Environmental Protection Agency

Q

What are the five steps of an Environmental Management System?

A

Commitment and Environmental Policy, Planning, Implementation and Operation, Management Review

58
Q

What can airports do to mitigate emissions?

A

Streamline taxi routes, implement reduced-power taxi and takeoff, require alternative fuels for ground service equipment
