Question: Training Personnel in Movement area
Answer: Must be completed prior to initial duties and at least once every 12 consecutive calendar months
Question: Records for training of movement area
Answer: Description and date of training, maintained for 24 calendar months
Question: Fuelers Training/ Records
Answer: Fueling personnel must be trained every 24 calendar months but records maintained for 12 calendar
months
Question: Airport pavements designed, constructed, and maintained for...
Answer: - to support the critical loads imposed
- to produce smooth, skid resistant, and safe riding surface
Question: Flexible pavement
Answer: tends to compress under load, reflects the deformation of subgrade and the subsequent layers to the
surface, contains grass, dirt, gravel, and asphalt, top layer is strongest,
Question: Rigid Pavement
Answer: Resists compression under load, loads are distributed over a wide area of subgrade soil. Rigid lasts
more than 30 yrs while flex lasts 5-15 years.
Question: What causes pavement deterioration?
Answer: -effects of weather
- loads imposed by aircraft
Question: PCN
Answer: pavement classification number, it is possible to express the effect of an individual plane on different
pvements by a unique singular number. This reporting methods applies only yo pavements bearing 12,500 lbs
or greater.
Question: LCN
Answer: Load classification number, regarding pavement
Question: Cracking
Answer: cracks in flex pavement are caused by deflection of the surface ocer an unstable foundation,
shrinkage of the surface, thermal expansion, and contacting of the surface.
Question: Types of cracks
Answer: - longitudinal and transverse cracks
- block cracking
- reflection crack
- alligator crack
- slippage cracks
, Question: Disintegration
Answer: in flex pavement is typically caused by climate, insufficient compacation of the surface, insufficient
aphalt binder in the mix, loss of adhesion. Can be due to raveling, weathering, potholes, asphalt stripping, jet
blast erosion.
Question: Distortion
Answer: in flex pavements is caused by foundation settlement, insufficient compacation of the pavement
courses, a lack of stability in the bituminous mix. Due to rutting, corrugation, shoving, depressions
Question: Cracking in rigid pavement
Answer: often result from stresses caused by expansion and contraction or warping of the pavement. Due to,
longitudinal cracks, corner breaks, durability cracks
Question: Joint Seal Damage
Answer: any condition that enables incompressible foreign material such as soil or rocks to accumulate in the
joints , caused by improper joint width, loss of bond to the slab edges, and absence of sealant
Question: Distortion in rigid
Answer: a change in the pavement surface original positioon, and its results from foundation settlement
Question: Loss of skid resistance in rigid
Answer: the ability of pavement to provide a surface with the desired friction characteristics under all weather
conditions. Loss of skid resistance is caused by the wearing down of the textured surface through normal wear
and tear
Question: Hot-mix asphalt (
Answer: Blend of asphalt binder and well-graded, high quality aggregates.
Question: Tack coat
Answer: A light application of liquid asphalt, usually emulsified with water, placed between pavement courses
during construction. It is used to help ensure a bond between the surface and the new mat that is being
placed.
Question: crack and joint sealing material
Answer: for flexible and rigid pavement, material for filling cracks
Question: Crack filler material
Answer: for flexible and rigid material
Question: concrete
Answer: a blend of portland cement, fine and coarse aggregate and water. Concrete is used to repair a
distressed cement pavement
Question: abutting pavement
Answer: Edges of abutting pavement and between pavement and abutting must be three inches or less in
elevation as it may cause loss of directional control.
