Study Notes

Annex 14 - Aerodromes, Volume I

This document details international standards and recommended practices for aerodromes.
It includes definitions, applicability, common reference systems, certification procedures, and design considerations.
Various chapters cover aerodrome data, runway features, lighting systems, and more.
Several amendments have been made, including updates to aerodrome reference codes, runway dimensions, and reporting formats for runway surface conditions.
Specific amendments address elements like precision approach runway categories, standardized taxiway nomenclature, and visual aids for closed runways.
Updates are related to procedures and safety, like rescue and fire fighting, bird hazard reduction, and airport master planning.
Dates and sources of amendments are listed, indicating the various meetings and panels involved in the revision process.

Chapter 1

General Information about aerodromes is outlined in Chapter 1
Definitions, Applicability, Common reference systems, Certification, Airport Design and master plan, Aerodrome reference codes, and specific procedures are topics covered.
Specific procedures for aerodrome operations are discussed in the chapter.

Chapter 2 & 3

Aerodrome data is detailed in Chapter 2
Aeronautical data and runway strips are subtopics.
More specific components of the landing and taxiing area are outlined in Chapter 3
Runway end safety areas, clearways, stopways, radio altimeter operating areas, taxiways, taxiway shoulders, taxiway strips, holding bays (runway-holding, intermediate, road-holding positions), aprons, isolated parking positions, and de-icing/anti-icing facilities are explained.

Chapter 5

Lighting systems are described in Chapter 5.
Various types of lighting are covered such as aeronautical beacons, approach lighting systems, visual approach slope indicator systems, circling guidance lights, runway lead-in lighting, threshold identification lights, runway edge lights, runway threshold and wing bar lights, runway end lights, runway center line lights, runway touchdown zone lights(simple and category specific), rapid exit taxiway indicator lights, stopway lights, and taxiway centerline lights.

Amendments

Multiple amendments have been made to the document over time.
Amendments address topics such as enhanced reporting formats for runway surface conditions, aerodrome reference codes, runway dimensions, taxiway clearances, precision approach runway categories, airport master plan information.
Changes to safety procedures, like rescue and fire fighting, and wildlife management are included.
Dates of adoption and effectiveness for each amendment are provided.
