1. What are the two types of airports?: 1.Controlled
2.Uncontrolled
2. Controlled airports have a?: Staffed, or manned, tower.
3. Uncontrolled airports do not have a?: Staffed, or manned, tower.
4. FOD is abbreviated for?: Foreign Objects or Debris
5. What is a FOD (foreign object or debris)?: Any object that can be sucked into an aircraft engine.
Examples: water bottles, rocks, or even animals.
6. The removal of FOD(foreign object or debris) can prevent what?: A serious emer-
gency situation.
7. Knowing the airport layout is the key factor in what?: Determining the most appropriate
response route for ARFF Apparatus.
8. Grid maps are a important part of what?: Emergency planning.
9. Runways are surfaces specifically designed for what?: Aircraft to takeoff and land.
10. EMAS is abbreviated for what?: Engineered Material Arresting System.
11. The EMAS(engineered material arresting system) is what?: Aerated cement material.
It will crush under the aircraft weight to provide a predictable deceleration of an aircraft.
(Pretty much a concrete cushion)
12. Aircraft takeoff and land into the wind or with the wind?: Land into/against the wind.
13. Runways are numbered to the nearest compass bearing in the direction of
take off, rounded to the nearest _______ degrees.: 10
14. When there are more than one runway in the same direction(paralle) , run-
ways are given a what?: A right(R) or left(L) or center(C) designation in relation to the aircrafts direction.
15. Taxiways are designed for?: Aircraft to taxi to and from runways, hangars, ramps, and gates.
16. Ramps can be the most?: Congested area on an airport.
17. Colored markings are used at airports and the most common are?: White, red,
and yellow.
18. White airport markings are used for?: Runway identification number and letters, landing zone
bars, and stripping.
19. Red airport markings are used for?: To designate restricted areas such as fire lanes and no entry
areas.
20. Yellow airport markings are used for?: Hold bars, taxiways, and instrument landing system(ILS)
areas.

21. Manadatory signs?: Must be obeyed and have white inscription on a red background. Like a stop sign.
22. Location signs?: Provide the specific location and are yellow inscription on a black background.
23. Information signs?: Provide information regarding traffic routes and patterns. They have a black inscrip-
tion on a yellow background.
24. Runway distance remaining signs?: Indicate the distance of runway remaining with how many
thousand of feet are left. They have a white inscription and a black background.
25. Blue airport lights/reflectors?: Used to outline taxiways, and are usually located along edges.
26. White airport lights/reflectors?: Used to outline the edges of runways and to identify runway center
lines. Are also used to indicate vehicular traffic areas I ramps.
27. Green airport lights/reflectors.: Used to identify the approach end of runways and some taxiway
center lines.
28. Red airport lights/reflectors?: Used to mark obstructions such as building structures, unserviceable
areas, and the departure end of the runway.
29. Yellow or amber airport lights?: Used to identify locations of hold bars, areas that require permission
to cross from the control tower.
30. The crosswind leg is the flight path at a?: Right angle to the landing runway off its upwind leg.
31. The downwind leg is the flight path?: Parallel to the landing runway in the direction opposite to
landing. Typically connects the crosswind leg and base leg.
32. The base leg in the flight path at a?: Right angle to the landing runway off the approach end.
33. The final approach is the?: Portion of the pattern in which the aircraft is lined up with the runway and
is heading straight in to land.
34. The Rapid Response Area(RRA) surrounds the runway and?: Is 500 feet to each side
from the center of the runway and extends 1650 feet from the end of the runway.
35. The Critical Rescue and Fire Fighting Acces Area(CRFFAA) is?: 500 feet from each side
of the runway centerline and 3000 feet beyond each runway end.
36. ARFF personally should have a good working knowledge of what?: The fuel system.
37. Items to be familiar with regarding the fuel system is?: Safety switches, isolation valves,
and SOPs for fighting fire at the different fuel locations.
38. The three methods of aircraft fueling include?: Underground systems(pipelines), tank
trucks, and fuel islands.
39. What is the most common method of fuel delivery?: Tank truck.
