AAAe ACE Ops Module 2 Exam
Questions and Answers Graded A+
Accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA) - Correct answer-The runway plus
stopway length declared available and suitable for the acceleration and
deceleration of an airplane aborting a takeoff.
ACN-PCN - Correct answer-Refers to the Aircraft Classification Number -
Pavement Classification Number method. This method is structured so a pavement
with a particular PCN value can support, without weight restrictions, an airplane
that has an ACN value equal to or less than the pavement's PCN value. This is
possible because ACN and PCN values are computed using the same technical
basis. Applies only to pavements with bearing strengths of 12,500 pounds or
greater.
Aircraft approach category - Correct answer-A grouping of aircraft based on 1.3
times their stall speed in their landing configuration at the certificated maximum
flap setting and maximum landing weight at standard atmospheric conditions. The
categories are as follows: Category A: Speed less than 91 knots. Category B: Speed
91 knots or more but less than 121 knots. Category C: Speed 121 knots or more but

,less than 141 knots. Category D: Speed 141 knots or more but less than 166 knots.
Category E: Speed 166 knots or more.
Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) - Correct answer-A unique number that
expresses the relative effect of an airplane at a given weight on a pavement
structure.
Aircraft Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) - Correct answer-Consists of the equipment,
personnel, and agents in place to respond to aircraft incidents or accidents. Airports
certificated under Part 139 must comply with specific ARFF requirements
regarding Index, equipment and agents, and operational requirements.
Airplane Design Group - Correct answer-A grouping of airplanes based on
wingspan or tail height. Where an airplane is in two categories, the most
demanding category should be used. The groups are as follows: Group I: Up to but
not including 49 feet (15 m) wingspan or tail height up to but not including 20 feet.
Group II: 49 feet (15 m) up to but not including 79 feet (24 m) wingspan or tail
height from 20 up to but not including 30 feet. Group III: 79 feet (24 m) up to but
not including 118 feet (36 m) wingspan or tail height from 30 up to but not
including 45 feet. Group IV: 118 feet (36 m) up to but not including 171 feet (52
m) wingspan or tail height from 45 up to but not including 60 feet. Group V: 171
feet (52 m) up to but not including 214 feet (65 m) wingspan or tail height from 60

,up to but not including 66 feet. Group VI: 214 feet (65 m) up to but not including
262 feet (80 m) wingspan or tail height from 66 up to but not including 80 feet.
Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) - Correct answer-Documents designed to address
those emergencies that occur on, or directly impact, an airport or adjacent property
that: 1) is within the authority and responsibility of the airport to respond; or 2)
may present a threat to the airport because of the proximity of the emergency to the
airport.
Airport Traffic Control Tower - Correct answer-Airport Traffic Control (ATC)
towers are terminal facilities that use air and ground communications, visual
signaling and other devices to provide ATC services to aircraft operating in the
vicinity of an airport or on the movement area. They authorize aircraft to land or
takeoff at the airport or to transit the local airspace. A tower may also provide
approach control services (radar or non-radar).
Anti-icing - Correct answer-A proactive approach to winter operations in which
chemical is applied to the pavement surface either before any precipitation or just
as it is starting in an effort to prevent a bond from forming between the pavement
surface and the frozen precipitation.

, Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) - Correct answer-Designed to cool the fire
and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of
the combustion.
Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) - Correct answer-The continuous
broadcast of recorded non-control information in high activity terminal areas. Its
purpose is to improve pilot and controller effectiveness and to relieve frequency
congestion by automating the repetitive transmission of essential but routine
information.
Auto ignition temperature - Correct answer-The lowest temperature at which a fuel
will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere without an external source of
ignition, such as a flame or spark.
Clearway - Correct answer-A defined rectangular area beyond the end of a runway
cleared or suitable for use in lieu of runway to satisfy takeoff distance
requirements. Established for runways having instrument departures and considers
the climb-out requirements of turbine-powered aircraft on takeoff, including the
possibility of an engine-out operation. Increases the allowable aircraft operating
takeoff weight without increasing runway length.
Combustible - Correct answer-Material with a flash point at or above 100˚F.
