Chapter 9, Question 5, What is the airport certification manual and why is it so
significant? - ANSWER Every certified airport that serves air carriers is required
to have an Airport certification manual (ACM). The ACM outlines the means and
procedures used to comply with the requirements of Part 139. The ACM must
contain basic elements appropriate to its class.
Chapter 9, Question 8, List 5 Safety hazards associated with each of the
following:
A. Airport Terminal Buildings
B. Hangars and Maintenance shops
C. Ramp Operations
D. Aviation Fuel Handling
E. Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF)
f. Deicing and Anti-icing - ANSWER A. Airport Terminal Buildings
1. Slip and Trip Hazards
2. Fire
3. Obstructed exits
4. Unsafe walkways/elevators/ escalators, etc
5. Unsafe access to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
B. Hangars and Maintenance Shops
1. Failing roofs
2. Waxed floors/stairs creating slip hazards
3. Fire
4. inadequate aisle space
5. Unsafe storage of compressed gas, flammables, and hazardous/toxic
substances
C. Ramp Operations
1. Cuts (on aircraft parts)
2. Slips, Trips, and falls,
Strains and Sprains (baggage handling)
Exposure to hazardous materials (fuel)
3. Contact with moving parts (props) and bumps (under surface of fuselage)
, 4. Electrical Hazards
5. Bio-hazards (Blood-borne exposures during cleaning)
D. Aviation Fuel Handling
1. Skin contact with fuel
2. inhalation or ingestion of fuel
3. Fuel Contamination (Mainly rust and water)
4. Fire
5. Leaks and Spills
E.Aircraft rescue and firefighting
1. Fire
2. Smoke
3. Chemicals
4. Blood
5. Lifting in awkward postures
F. Deicing and Anti-icing
1. Damage to the aircraft by deicing equipment
2. Application of deicing fluid to areas where it should not be applied, such as
static ports, pitot heads, AOA sensors, the engine, and other inlets
3. Inhalation and Ingestion of hazardous materials
4. Hazards to the crew and passengers if the cabin air intakes are not shut off
during deicing
5. Falls, slips, and other safety hazards during application Process
Chapter 10, Question 10, Distinguish between ADS-B and ASDE-X - ANSWER
ABS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast):
FAA's satellite-based successor to radar. ADS-B makes use of GPS technology
to determine and share precise aircraft location information and streams
additional flight information to the cockpits of properly equipped aircraft.
ASDE-X (Airport surface Detection Equipment - Model X):
This system allows controllers to detect potential runway conflicts by providing
detailed coverage of movement from surface radar, ADS-B sensors aboard
aircraft, and aircraft transponders, among other sources.
Chapter 10, Question 12, What is Next-Gen and what are its Goals? - ANSWER
Next-Gen is a comprehensive modernization of state-of-the-art technologies and
procedures that, in short, enable aircraft to move from Point A to Point B more
efficiently and directly than ever before.
Included Systems:
ADS-B
CATMT
