COURSE EXAM 2026 LATEST UPDATE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+
How is safety oversight defined? - ANS-those means and activities by which airport
management ensures effective implementation of safety-related standards and procedures
Why does an airport need a Safety Management System? - ANS-to increase the likelihood that
airport operators will detect and correct safety problems before those problems result in an
aircraft incident.
What are the four pillars of the Safety Management System? - ANS-policy/objectives, risk
management, assurance, and promotion
What are four key elements of airport safety policy and objectives? - ANS-Safety program
methods, processes, authorities and accountability
What are the five phases of the safety risk management process? - ANS-Phase 1: describe the
system; Phase 2: identify the hazard; Phase 3: determine the risk; Phase 4: assess and analyze
the risk; Phase 5: treat the risk
What four items enhance an airport's ability to identify hazards? - ANS-operational expertise;
training in hazard analysis techniques; use of a hazard analysis tool; documenting the process
What are four risk mitigation strategies? - ANS-avoidance (stop or shift the operation),
assumption (accepting the risk), control (minimize or eliminate the risk), transfer (shift risk to
another area)
, What are four types of risks taken by airport operators? - ANS-Informed, uninformed, benefit-
driven, pointless
What does safety assurance include? - ANS-auditing and oversight
What does safety promotion involve? - ANS-training, education, communication and
continuous improvement
What must be marked and/or lighted during construction on an airport? - ANS-construction
area, open tranches, equipment and roadway on or adjacent to an area where ANS-seminars,
bulletins or notices, lessons-learned, and cross-tell
May construction material, equipment or personnel penetrate the obstacle free zone? - ANS-No
What coordination must the airport accomplish before conducting construction activity in the
runway safety area? - ANS-ATCT and FAA Regional Airports Division office
What is the difference between a relocated threshold and a displaced threshold? - ANS-The
displaced threshold only affects landing in one direction, a relocated threshold affects landing
and takeoff in both directions
What are the three most likely threats to aircraft safety during construction on an airport? -
ANS-safety area encroachments, improper ground vehicle operations, and unmarked holes
and trenches
What airports must comply with Part 139? - ANS-airports serving scheduled air carrier aircraft
designed for more than 9 passenger seats and unscheduled air carrier aircraft designed for at
least 31 passenger seats, to include joint or shared use airports
