Study Notes
Airport Safety and Certification
- Airfield safety and inspection programs require a Safety Management System (SMS) to manage safety risks through systematic procedures, practices, and policies.
- SMS helps to create a "safety culture" that allows the SMS to succeed.
SMS Implementation and Oversight
- The Accountable Manager is the designated individual responsible for implementing and overseeing the SMS processes at airports from a policy perspective.
SMS Components
- The use of risk assessment, mitigation, and tracking techniques are the principal methods for enhancing an airport's safety record.
- Continuous monitoring and evaluation through internal and external audits and corrective actions provide feedback on implemented risk mitigation strategies.
Airport Certification
- Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139 addresses the certification of airports.
- An Airport Operating Certificate (AOC) is required when an airport reaches 2,500 passenger enplanements.
Airport Types and Classification
- A commercial service airport serves all types of scheduled operations of air carrier aircraft, including small scheduled, large, and any other type of air carrier operations, and must comply with all Part 139 requirements.
- A non-primary commercial service airport serves only unscheduled operations of large air carrier aircraft.
- A reliever airport serves only scheduled operations of small air carrier aircraft.
- A non-hub airport serves scheduled operations of small air carrier aircraft and unscheduled operations of large air carrier aircraft and are not permitted to serve scheduled large air carrier operations.
Airport Certification Manual (ACM)
- The Airport Certification Manual (ACM) is a document that outlines the airport's procedures and policies to comply with Part 139 requirements.
- Any amendments to the ACM require a minimum of 30 days' notice before the proposed effective date.
Airport Operations
- Part 139 requires a daily inspection of airport pavements in the Movement Area.
- Training for individuals with airfield self-inspection responsibilities is required every 12 consecutive calendar months.
Pavement Management
- Pavement management involves regular or recurring work necessary to sustain airport pavement in good condition.
- Airport pavement is traditionally engineered for 20 years of structural life.
- The two causes of pavement deterioration are chemical and physical factors.
Pavement Maintenance
- Preventative maintenance is crucial, as every $1 spent early in the life of the pavement is equivalent to $6 spent in repairs later in the life of the pavement.
- The Aircraft Classification Number/Pavement Classification Number system provides a standardized international airplane/pavement rating system.
Runway Condition Reporting
- Airport operators use the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix to categorize runway conditions and friction measurements.
- The Runway Condition Assessment Matrix improves how the aviation community assesses runway conditions based on contaminant type and depth, providing an aircraft operator with the correct information to anticipate airplane braking performance.
- The matrix is used to assess surfaces, report contaminants present, and determine the numerical value based on the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix.
