wide level.
A metropolitan system is developed for what? - Answers airports located in close proximity to each
other within a major metro area
What is an airport master plan? - Answers A comprehensive study of an airport and typically presents
the short, medium, and long term development plans to meet future aviation demand
What is an airport layout plan (ALP)? - Answers A scaled drawing depicting existing and proposed land
and airport facilities.
What is a facilities layout plan drawing? - Answers it depicts existing and future facilities, and only
critical, non-overlapping clearance criteria, with minimal text
What is a terminal area plan? - Answers one or more drawings that present a large-scale depiction of
areas with significant terminal facility development
What is an airport airspace drawing? - Answers A drawing that depicts obstacle identification surfaces
for the full extent of all airport development
What does the inner portion of the approach surface drawing contain? - Answers The plan and profile
view of the inner portion view of the inner portion of the approach surface to the runways and list of
surface penetrations.
What is the on-airport land use drawing? - Answers It depicts the land uses within the airport property
boundary
What is the off-airport land drawing? - Answers depicts land uses and zoning in the area around the
airport
What is the airport property map - Answers Depicts the airport property boundary, the various tracts of
land that were acquired to develop the airport, and the method of acquisition.
What is the runway departure surface drawing depict? - Answers The applicable departure surfaces as
defined in the AC 150/5300-13
, What is a utility drawing? - Answers depicts the location and capacity of major utilities on the airport
and in the surrounding area
What are airport access plans? - Answers They depict the major routes of various modes af
transportation that serve the airport
What is a strategic plan? - Answers A roadmap to guide an airport from the present to a desired future,
and may address staffing, financial resources, property development, customer service, and revenue
generation
What does a business plan do? - Answers Identifies the short to medium term steps that should be
implemented to enable the airport to achieve it's desired future
What are the steps to forecasting? - Answers *identifying activity parameters
*collecting and reviewing previous forecasts
*gathering data
*selecting method
*applying method and evaluating results
*summarizing results
*comparing results to terminal area forecast
What are the 4 forecasting methods? - Answers Market share, economic model, time series model, and
simulation
What is market share forecasting? - Answers It requires measuring current activity at an airport and
relating it to some other accumulated measure. (Ex. state, regional and national)
What is Econometric model forecasting? - Answers uses a mathematical equation that supposes a casual
relationship between a dependent variable and a set of independent variables.
What is time series forecasting? - Answers concludes data into the future based on current or past
trends.
What is Simulation modeling? - Answers It is based on known movements of passengers and routing
traffic and can conclude results to reveal future demand.
What are forecasts good for? - Answers anticipating both airside and landslide capacity needs
What is a predesign conference? - Answers It is used to discuss the parameters, airport safety, routing of
aircraft and equipment, sequencing of construction operations, environmental considerations, and civil
rights requirements
