Slide 2 : MTPs:
Definitions
Aerodrome Markings
Aerodrome Lights
Ground Signals
Runway Numbering
Rules of an Aerodrome
Slide 3 : Aerodrome
Any area of land, water, or other supporting surface used or designated for the arrival and departure, movement or servicing of aircraft.
Airport
Any aerodrome in respect of which a certificate is in force. An airport certificate testifies that the airport meets airport certification safety standards
Maneuvering Area
Area intended for take off and landing and associated movement. Does not include the apron.
Slide 4 : Movement area
Manoeuvring Area
Runway
Taxiway
Apron
Slide 5 : Centreline
Threshold
Displaced Threshold (permanent)
Runway numbering
1000’ markers
500’ markers
Taxiway lines
Slide 6 : Displaced threshold types
Permanent
Temporary
Slide 7 : Hold short markings
Slide 8 : Closed runway / taxiway
Aerodrome Operator shall:
Remove all markers when aerodrome closed permanently.
Install red flags or red cones along the boundary of an unserviceable movement area.
If all or part of a taxiway is closed the operator shall place white or yellow X’s at each end of the closed dimensions.
Slide 9 : Maneuvering Areas:
If closed permanently operator must obliterate all markings that indicate the area open and paint the required markings.
Slide 10 : Wind Indicators:
If wind direction cannot be reported via radio the operator shall install a wind direction indicator,
Slide 11 : Wind Indicators:
Wind sock- wind blows in big end and out small end
15kts or more = horizontal
6kts hangs 30 degrees below horizon
fluttering = gusty
Either one at each end of the runway or one in the centre
Slide 12 : Name the following
runway symbols 1.
2.
3.
4.
Slide 13 : Lights - no more than 200ft apart
Runway
Taxiway
Apron
Approach
End
Slide 14 : Taxiway light Runway light
Slide 15 : Runway numbers correspond to the magnetic bearing rounded to the nearest 10 degrees, the last zero is omitted
36=north
09=east
27=west
18=south
Slide 16 : Reciprocal runways
Ex. Runway 230 would be 23
To figure out the other end….
Minus 18 or Add 18 (half of a circle)
23-18= 5 or 23+18= 41
Since 41 is greater than 36, minus 36
41 – 36 = 50
Therefore…
if the number is greater than 180, subtract 180
if the number is less than 180, add 180
Slide 17 : Airports can have more than 1 runway going the same direction
Runways are therefore given names of Left (L), Right (R) or Centre (C)
Slide 18 : No person shall walk, stand, drive or park a vehicle or A/C on the movement area without the permission from the operator
2. Do not tow or park an A/C at night on an active movement area unless wingtip, tail and anti-collision lights are displayed,
3. Do not remove Navigation markings unless you have permission by ATC
4. Do not place Aerodrome markings at a place that is not an aerodrome
Slide 19 : 5. Do not allow pets to be unrestrained at an aerodrome unless permitted
Slide 20 : 6. Do not discharge a firearm at an aerodrome unless permitted
Slide 21 : 7. Smoking or displaying open flame is generally not permitted
Slide 22 : 1. What colour are taxiway lights?
2. What is the definition of an airport?
3. How far apart can airport lights be?
4. Define manoeuvring area.
5. Name 2 things you can’t do at an aerodrome?
Slide 23 : San Francisco International Airport at Night
