Study Notes
Aerodrome Markings
- Aerodrome markings are signs and aeronautical information on the surface of movement areas to convey important information to pilots.
- Runway markings consist of:
- Runway designation markings (two-digit number and a letter for parallel runways)
- Runway centre line markings (broken longitudinal lines along the runway centre line)
- Runway threshold markings (longitudinal strips of uniform dimensions on both sides of the runway centre line)
- Runway touch down zone markings (located over the first 600m of instrument runways with distance coding)
- Runway side strip markings (two lines extending the whole length of the runway parallel to and equidistant from the runway centre line)
Taxiway Markings
- Taxiway markings include unserviceability markings.
Traffic Circuit at Controlled Airports
- The traffic circuit consists of:
- Cross wind leg
- Downwind leg
- Base leg
- Final approach leg
- Pilots must establish and maintain radio communication with the control tower prior to operating within the control zone.
- The control tower will advise the runway in use, wind direction and speed, altimeter setting, and other pertinent information.
ATC RT Procedure
- Air traffic services are services provided for the safe and efficient conduct of flight.
- Objectives of air traffic services include:
- Preventing collision between aircraft
- Preventing collision between aircraft and obstructions on the maneuvering area
- Expediting and maintaining an orderly flow of traffic
- Providing advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights
- Notifying appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid
Definitions
- Air traffic control services include:
- Area control service
- Approach control service
- Aerodrome control service
- Flight information service, air traffic advisory service, and alerting service are also part of air traffic services.
RT Procedures and Phraseology
- Letters and numbers have specific pronunciation representations in English.
- Examples of pronunciation of numbers include:
- 1: One (Wun)
- 2: Two (Too)
- 1000: Thousand (Tou-sond)
- Decimal: Day-See-Mal
- Whole thousands shall be transmitted by pronouncing each digit in the number of thousand followed by the word "thousand".
Summary
- The concept of airfields has changed considerably since the early days of flying.
- Modern airfields have multiple runways, with the longest one designed for instrument landings in bad weather.
- It is mandatory for pilots to follow rules and regulations as given in relevant publications and amended from time to time.
