No! LEED is not a government program, and is voluntary for buildings and companies to participate in.

Question 8

What is a Part 150 study?

Answer 8

• VOLUNTARY
• Provides noise pollution feedback for airports!
• IF airport paid/participated in this study, AIP budget will cover 80% of cost to address the problems found

Question 9

What are some options for airports after they participate in a Part 150 study?

Answer 9

Question 10

What is the most common reason that (Advisory Circular) AC5300-13 would be updated?

Answer 10

• In response to runway incursions

Airport Design!

Question 11

True or False: Aircraft Approach Speed categories are taken into account during taxiway and runway design

Answer 11

• TRUE

- Important to think about weight distribution on the surface, and turn radius

Question 12

How does an airport determine its “critical aircraft” for taxiway and runway design?

Answer 12

• Weight!
  (The snow plow was considered the critical aircraft for the East side of GFK because it weighed more than any of the baesd a/c! LOL)

Question 13

_______ operations a year is considered reasonable justification for an airport to get another runway.

Answer 13

~200,000

Question 14

The current goal in taxiway design is to:

Answer 14

• Provide the most direct route as possible to/from runway
• Minimize crossing runways
• Allow ATC direct line of sight

Question 15

What are 3 types of pavement designs considered for an airport?

Answer 15

1. Rigid Pavements (CONCRETE!)
2. Flexible Pavements (Petroleum Asphalt)
3. Pavement Overlays (Asphalt Coat)

1. Simple Linear (Rectangle)
2. Finger Piers
3. Satellite w/ and w/o finger piers (Rectangle and a Circle)
4. Linear Midfield
5. X-Shaped

Question 19

Answer 19

FALSE! The FAA requires a LAYOUT plan

Question 20

What is the purpose of an Aviation Activity Forecast? What area does it survey?

Answer 20

• Forecast future levels of aviation activity to help with decision making in airport planning
• Survey the “Catchment” area along with all aviation related factors

Question 21

In CAUSAL forecasting, what are 4 Independent variables that are measured?

Answer 21

1. Cost
2. Schedule
3. Population
4. Activities

Ex: number pax. = cost (.67) + schedule (.54) + population (.32) + activities (.15)

means COST will determine number of pax.

Question 22

True or False: Airports must comply with Local, State and Federal environmental regulations!

Answer 22

TRUE

Question 23

What does the FAA stress in regards to the environment?

Answer 23

FAA stresses an Environmental Management System (EMS)!!!

Question 24

What does the “Compatible Land Use” process do for airports?
