    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.
