  1. Airports, Airspace & ATC

  2. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are all runway markings?

  3. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are all runway markings? • White

  4. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are all taxiways, closed areas, hazardous areas and holding positions?

  5. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are all taxiways, closed areas, hazardous areas and holding positions? • Yellow

  6. Provides a visual cue to permit taxiing along a designated path. Marking may be enhanced on light-colored pavement by outlining with a black border. Taxiway Marking

  7. Runway & Taxi Markings • What are the three types of usage that determine how a runway will be marked?

  8. Runway & Taxi Markings • What are the three types of usage that determine how a runway will be marked? • Visual Runway • Nonprecision instrument runway • Precision instrument runway

  9. Runway & Taxi Markings • How is a visual runway marked?

  10. VISUAL RUNWAY • Designation marking • Centerline marking • Optional marking • International commercial transport require threshold marking

  11. VISUAL RUNWAY • Optional Marking • 4,000 ft or longer used by jet aircraft require aiming point marking • Side stripes may be added if necessary

  12. Runway & Taxi Markings • How is a nonprecision instrument runway marked?

  13. Runway & Taxi Markings • How is a nonprecision instrument runway marked? • Designation marking • Centerline marking • Threshold markings • Aim point marker

  14. Runway & Taxi Markings • How is a precision instrument runway marked?

  15. Runway & Taxi Markings • Designation marking • Centerline marking • Threshold markings • Aim point marker • Touchdown zone marker

  16. Runway & Taxi Markings • What is a displaced threshold?

  17. Runway & Taxi Markings • What is a displaced threshold? • A threshold that is not at the beginning of the paved runway

  18. Runway & Taxi Markings • For what purposes can you use the paved area before a displaced threshold that is marked by arrows?

  19. Runway & Taxi Markings • Available for taxi, takeoff and a landing rollout from the opposite direction but not for landing

  20. Runway & Taxi Markings • For what are chevrons used?

  21. Runway & Taxi Markings • For what are chevrons used? • To show pavement areas aligned with the runway that are unusable for landing, takeoff and taxiing

  22. Runway & Taxi Markings • What is the name of the bar that separates a runway that has a displaced threshold from a taxiway or an area marked by chevrons that precedes the runway

  23. Runway & Taxi Markings • What is the name of the bar that separates a runway that has a displaced threshold from a taxiway or an area marked by cheverons that precedes the runway • Demarcation Bar

  24. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are surface painted location signs?

  25. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are surface painted location signs? • Black background with yellow inscription

  26. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are mandatory instruction signs?

  27. Runway & Taxi Markings • What color are mandatory instruction signs? • White characters on a red background

  28. HOLDING POSITIONS SIGNS At runway / runway intersections Do not cross unless clearance has been received. AIRPORT SIGNS 4-22

  29. AIRPORT SIGNS

  30. Edge of Protected Area for Runway Identifies the boundary of the runway protected area Used to judge when the aircraft is clear of the protected area. AIRPORT SIGNS

  31. AIRPORT SIGNS

  32. Edge of ILS Critical Area Identifies the boundary of the ILS critical area. Use this sign as a guide to judge when the aircraft is clear of the ILS critical area. AIRPORT SIGNS

  33. Airport Lighting • What type of Approach Light System are use on visual runway

  34. Airport Lighting • None • ALS provide the basic means to transition from instrument flight to visual flight for landing. They will be used with precision and nonprecision runways.

  35. Lighting • What color are taxiway centerline lights installed at some airports and used during low visibility conditions?

  36. Green in-pavement lights to assist taxiing aircraft in darkness and in low visibility conditions. Taxiway Centerline Lights

  37. Lights • Describe Runway End Identifier Lights and when they are effective?

  38. Description • Consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights located laterally on each side of the runway threshold to provide rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a particular runway

  39. Effective • Effective for • Identification of a runway surrounded by a preponderance of other lighting • Identification of a runway which lacks contrast with surrounding terrain

  40. Effective • Identification of a runway during reduced visibility

  41. Lights • Describe land and hold short lights.

  42. In-pavement white, pulsating lights installed across the runway at the hold short point. Land and Hold Short Lights

  43. Lights • When ON departing pilots and pilots cleared to land using the full length of the runway should ignore the lights

  44. Lights • How can you identify a rotating beacon at a military airport?

  45. Lights • How can you identify a rotating beacon at a military airport? • Two whites and a green indicate a military airport

  46. Lights • What color do you see when above the glide slope on a tri-colored approach slope indicator?

  47. Lights • What color do you see when above the glide slope on a tri-colored approach slope indicator? • Amber

  48. Wake Turbulance • In what configuration does an aircraft produce the most wake turbulence?

  49. Wake Turbulence • In what configuration does an aircraft produce the most wake turbulence? • Clean, Slow and Heavy

  50. Wake Turbulence • When departing behind a large aircraft, what wind condition required the maximum amount of caution?
