AAAE ACE OPERATIONS MODULE 1 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
How many airports are in the NPIAS and what three types are included?
ANS >> 3,380 airports; 1) commercial service, 2) reliever, 3) select GA
What are the three defining characteristics of commercial service
airports? ANS >> 1) open to the public 2) receive scheduled passenger
service 3) 2,500 or more enplaned passenger per year
What type of airport has commercial service and over 10,000 annual
enplanements? ANS >> Primary airport
Primary airports are split into 4 categories, what are they and how are
they defined? ANS >> Large Hub (>1% of all US annual enplanements);
Medium Hub (0.25% to 1%); Small Hub (0.05-0.25%); non-Hub (10,000
to 0.05%)
How many enplanements characterize a non-primary commercial
service airport? ANS >> between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per
year
What characterizes a reliever airport? ANS >> 1) open to the public; 2)
100 or more based aircraft or 25,000 annual operations
, AAAE ACE OPERATIONS MODULE 1 EXAM
General aviation airports can be included in the NPIAS under what
circumstances? ANS >> If they have at least 10 locally based aircraft
and are at least 20 miles from a NPIAS airport
What plan provides guidelines for an airport's capital development over
a 20-year timeframe? ANS >> Master Plan
What is the set of drawings that shows the airport's long-term
development, updated in accordance with grant assurance number 29?
ANS >> Airport Layout Plans
Runway design standards are based on what three primary factors?
ANS >> 1) airplane design group (wingspan); 2) aircraft approach
category (approach speed); 3) approach visibility minimums
Taxiway and taxiplane design standards are based on what primary
factor? ANS >> airplane design group (wingspan)
How is airplane design group determined and categorized? ANS >>
Based on the aircraft's wingspan and tail height whichever is most
restrictive; 6 categories, I thru VI, where I is the smallest/shortest and VI
is the largest/tallest
How is aircraft approach category determined and categorized? ANS
>> Based on aircraft approach speed; 5 categories, A thru E, where A is
the slowest and E is the fastest
What are the 6 categories of airplane design group? ANS >> I (tail
height <20', wingspan <49'); II (tail height 20 - <30', wingspan 49 - <79');
III (tail height 30 - <45'), wingspan 79-<118'); IV (tail height 45 - <60',
wingspan 118 - <171'); V (tail height 60 - <66', wingspan 171 - <214'); VI
(tail height 66 - <80', wingspan 214 - <262')
