aerodrome vs airport
aerodrome = registered area for arrival/departure of planes
airport = CERTIFIED aerodrome maintained to TC requirements
maneuvering area is
parts of the aerodrome for taxiing, takeoff and landing (runways and taxiways)
apron is
the area loading cargo, passengers, fueling and parking

takeoff and landing area boundaries of aerodrome WITHOUT prepared runways have ______ markers
what do these cones look like at aerodromes and airports
highway organge cone markers
aerodrome = solid organe cone

are runway boundary markers required for every runway?
not required if you can clearly see the boundary between the pavement and grass
displaced threshold is a yellow line with arrows pointing towards it.
what are the rules for touchdown/takeoff, taxi, landing roll….
VFR vs IFR
you can taxi here and have prolonged takeoff or landing roll
but it’s risky to land before or take off after the yellow displaced threshold because you might not clear obstacles at end of runway
recommended but not required
VFR can surpass this area using pilots judgement but IFR can NOT and mst stay within boundary
rules for takeoff/landing, taxi, landing rolll… for YELLOW CHEVRONS
do NOT taxi, land, roll or anything on this area because the ground under the yellow chevrons cannot support the weight of the plane (used as emergency stop)
plane should always hold short by ____ ft from the edge of the runway if there’s no hold short line
