A defined area, located at the end of the runway, used to decelerate aircraft after landing or for aborted takeoffs.

Specific areas where radio altimeter is used to provide elevation information for aircraft during landing and takeoff.

Designated paths on the airfield used by aircraft for taxiing between the runway and other airport facilities.

A defined area along the edges of a taxiway designed to provide a protected area for aircraft that might deviate from the taxiway centerline.

A defined area of the taxiway surface, usually at least 15 meters wide, where aircraft are expected to be operated.

Designated areas on taxiways where aircraft can hold before proceeding to the runway or other areas.

Areas on the airfield where aircraft can park for short-term parking or loading and unloading operations.

Lights used to guide pilots during an approach to the runway, typically located along the runway centerline.

Lights situated on the edges of the runway, guiding pilots along the runway's sides.

A distinct set of lights placed at the runway's end, indicating its termination for landing.

Lights illuminating the runway's centerline, providing visual guidance for pilots along the landing strip.
