3. Aerodromes Aerodrome Airport Manoeuvring Area
Any area of land, water, or other supporting surface used or designated for the arrival and departure, movement or servicing of aircraft.
Airport
Any aerodrome in respect of which a certificate is in force. An airport certificate testifies that the airport meets airport certification safety standards
Manoeuvring Area
Area intended for take off and landing and associated movement. Does not include the apron.

4. Aerodromes

5. Aerodrome Markings Centreline Threshold
Displaced Threshold (permanent)
Runway numbering
1000’ markers
500’ markers
Taxiway lines

6. Aerodrome Markings
Displaced threshold types
Permanent
Temporary

7. Aerodrome Markings
Hold Short Markings

8. Aerodrome Markings Closed runway / taxiway Aerodrome Operator shall:
Remove all markers when aerodrome closed permanently.
Install red flags or red cones along the boundary of an unserviceable movement area.
If all or part of a taxiway is closed the operator shall place white or yellow X’s at each end of the closed dimensions.

9. Aerodrome Markings Maneuvering Areas:
If closed permanently operator must obliterate all markings that indicate the area open and paint the required markings.

10. Wind Indicators
If wind direction cannot be reported via radio the operator shall install a wind direction indicator

11. Wind Indicators Wind Indicators:
Wind sock- wind blows in big end and out small end
15kts or more = horizontal
6kts hangs 30 degrees below horizon
fluttering = gusty
Either one at each end of the runway or one in the centre

12. Confirmation
Name the following runway symbols 1 2 3 4

13. Aerodrome Lighting Lights - no more than 200ft apart Runway Taxiway
Apron
Approach
End

14. Aerodrome Lighting
Taxiway light
Runway light

15. Aerodrome Lighting
PAPI
Approach Lights

16. Runway Numbering
Runway numbers correspond to the magnetic bearing rounded to the nearest 10 degrees, the last zero is omitted
36=north
09=east
27=west
18=south

17. Runway Numbering Reciprocal runways
Ex. Runway with a heading of 230 would be numbered 23
To figure out the other end….
Subtract 18 or Add 18 (half of a circle)
23-18= 5 or 23+18= 41
Since 41 is greater than 36, minus 36
41 – 36 = 50
Therefore…
if the number is greater than 180, subtract 180
if the number is less than 180, add 180

18. Runway Numbering
Airports can have more than 1 runway going the same direction
Runways in those cases are given names of Left (L), Right (R) or Centre (C)

19. Light Signals
If you have a radio failure while flying, you still may be able to land at a controlled airport.

20. Light Signals
Red pyrotechnics: Do not land, wait for permission

21. Uncontrolled Traffic Circuit

22. Confirmation 1. What colour are taxiway lights?
2. What is the definition of an airport?
3. How far apart can airport lights be?
4. Define manoeuvring area.
5. In which direction is the downwind leg flown for runway 23?
