Welcome to Aerodromes 1  Introduction Modules: Consist of 10 modules Assessment: Online Progress Test Online Mastery Test 2  Reference Material – Annex 14 Volume 1 Volume 2 Aerodrome Design Heliports and Operations 3  Course Aim This course will provide participants with Volume 1 the necessary knowledge, skills and Aerodrome Design attitudes required to effectively detail the and Operations facilities and infrastructure to be provided for the safety of aircraft at an airport 4  Course Objectives (1/2) After having successfully completed this course, the participants will be able to identify aspects regarding: Aerodrome layout Aerodrome physical characteristics Ground visual aids facilities Obstacle limitation surfaces 5  Course Objectives (2/2) Understand part 3 of the AIP (Aerodromes) and find details on: Aerodrome operator Emergency & contingency procedures Air navigation facilities Airspace structure Passenger facilities Aerodrome layout Handling agencies Aerodrome physical Banking & hotels characteristics Rules & Regulations Ground visual aids facilities Met, Security, Customs Terrain & obstacles 6  Course Modules (1/2) Module 1 Definitions and Aerodrome Reference Code Module 2 Aeronautical Data Module 3 Physical Characteristics Module 4 Obstacle Limitation Surfaces Module 5 Visual Aids - Markings 7  Course Modules (2/2) Module 6 Visual Aids – Approach Lighting Module 7 Visual Aids – Signalling Devices Visual Aids – Lighting and Obstacle Module 8 Marking Equipment, Installations, Emergency Module 9 Services and Temporary Hazards Module 10 AIP Part 3 - Aerodromes 8  Module 1 Definitions and Aerodrome Reference Code 9  Module Objectives (1/2) Without references and in accordance with ICAO Annex 14 Vol. 1 the Student will be able to define: Aerodrome Manoeuvring Area Stopway Movement Area Runway Clearway Threshold Runway-holding Position Runway Strip Runway End Safety Area 10  Module Objectives (2/2). Briefly detail what is Aerodrome Reference Code (ARC) and state its purpose and its composition Given Aeroplane Classifications, determine the ARC required for an Airport. 11  Aerodrome Defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft. 12  Apron A defined area, on a land aerodrome, intended to accommodate aircraft for purposes of loading or unloading passengers, mail or cargo, fueling, parking or maintenance. 13  Clearway A defined rectangular area on the ground or water under the control of the appropriate authority, selected or prepared as a suitable area over which an aeroplane may make a portion of its initial climb to a specific height. 14  Manoeuvring Area That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, excluding aprons. 15  Movement Area That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, consisting of the Manoeuvring area and the apron(s). 16  Runway Defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and take-off of aircraft. 17  Stopway A defined rectangular area at the end of TORA prepared as a suitable area in which an aircraft can be stopped in the case of an abandoned take-off. 18  Runway Strip A defined area including the runway and the stopway, if provided, intended to reduce the risk of damage to aircraft running off the runway and Protect aircraft flying over it during take-off and landing operations. 19  Runway-holding Position A designated position intended to protect a runway, an obstacle limitation surface, on an ILS/MLS critical/sensitive area at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles shall stop and hold, unless otherwise authorized by the Aerodrome Control Tower. 20  Threshold The beginning of that portion of the runway suitable for landing. 21  Aerodrome Reference Code (ARC) A two part categorization of aircraft types which simplifies the process of establishing whether a particular aircraft is able to use a particular aerodrome. It contains two elements: The first is a numeric code based on the Aeroplane Reference Field Length for which there are four categories. The second is letter code based on the Maximum Wing Span of an aeroplane. 22  ARC Intent To provide a simple method of interrelating the various specifications of aerodrome characteristics to provide facilities suitable for aeroplanes intending to use the aerodrome. Used by the Aerodrome Operator for the Purpose of Designing the facilities and infrastructure to cater for the safety of aeroplanes intending to use the airport. 23  Elements of ARC - 1st Element (1/2) Number (1-4) - based on the maximum aeroplane reference field length of the aircraft intending to use the airport 24  Elements of ARC - 1st Element (2/2) Code number Aeroplane reference field length: 1- Less than 800 m 2- 800 m up to but not including 1 200 m 3- 1 200 m up to but not including 1 800 m 4 -1 800 m and over 25  Elements of ARC - 2nd Element (1/2) Letter (A-F) – based on the Maximum Wing Span 26  Elements of ARC - 2nd Element (2/2) Code letter Wingspan: A-Up to but not including 15 m B-15 m up to but not including 24 m C-24 m up to but not including 36 m D-36 m up to but not including 52 m E-52 m up to but not including 65 m F-65 m up to but not including 80 m 27  ARC Summary (1/2) 2 Element Code Purpose: Used by the Aerodrome Operator for planning and design Why? To provide infrastructure and facilities suitable for aeroplanes intending to operated at the airport. 28  ARC Summary (1/2) Based on: Characteristics of the aeroplanes intending to use the airport Element 1: Maximum ARFL Element 2: Greatest Wing Span 29  Examples of ARC calculations Choose the ARC needed for accommodating the following types of aircraft at: Airport 1: a.
