Study Notes

Airport Operations and Planning

The boundary that roughly follows the outline of an airplane is the Aircraft Parking Footprint.
The area bordered by the Equipment Restraint Line is where aircraft are parked during ground operations.
A gate is used on average every 2-3 hours.

Heliports

A private/commercial heliport accommodates helicopters used by individuals, corporations, and helicopter air taxi services.
A public heliport accommodates air carrier operators providing scheduled service or unscheduled service with large helicopters.

Water Airports

A seaplane base is an area of water used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of aircraft, together with associated buildings and facilities onshore.

Airport Construction

The FAA is responsible for the quality management of federally funded airport construction projects.
The FAA recommends allowing at least 10 working days to notify all parties for a predesign conference.
A predesign conference is conducted by the airport sponsor to discuss critical project issues.
Projects exceeding $10 million require the sponsor to submit a Construction Management Program (CMP) to the FAA Regional or ADO.
The airport sponsor or their authorized entity keeps a diary that includes weather conditions, work progress, and equipment used.

Airport Design and Construction

A Change Order is a written order by the airport sponsor that makes a change in the design, drawings, or specifications within the general scope of the contract.
Any change exceeding 10% of the estimated cost of the contract is a significant item and must be accomplished by supplemental agreement.
The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) must be updated after the completion of project construction.

Airport Safety and Obstructions

Imaginary surfaces are used to protect aircraft from obstacles.
The Primary Surface is aligned longitudinally with the runway, is centered on the runway centerline, and extends 200 feet past the runway end.
The Approach Surface is aligned longitudinally with the runway, 200 feet from the runway threshold, and flares outward to a certain distance.
The Horizontal Surface is 150 feet above the runway elevation.
The Conical Surface has a distance of 20,000 feet.
The FAA issues a Notice of Presumed Hazard (NPH) when a proposed construction or alteration will exceed an obstruction standard and have a substantial aeronautical impact.

Airport Land Use

The Airport Influence Area is intended to provide protection of residential and non-residential land uses in areas that may be subjected to frequent overflights.

Terminal Building and Operations

The apron is the area where aircraft can be secured and stored for long periods of time.
The terminal curb is used for the loading and unloading of passengers, parking facilities, public transit, taxi, limousine, and Transportation Network Company.
The concourse is the portion of the terminal process that includes the concourses and connections to other concourses to accommodate transferring passengers.
The critical parameter in terminal building space programming is passenger enplanement.
The ticketing and baggage claim area is characterized by curbside and indoor baggage drop, public circulation areas from ticketing to screening, concessions, and public amenities.
The baggage handling area is where bags are sorted, screened, and processed from the check-in lobby to the airplane.
The security checkpoints are where the passenger and carry-on baggage screening process takes place.
A 20-foot-wide corridor should be able to accommodate 60 people per minute.

Airport Support Facilities
