TRAINING COURSE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS UPDATE ALREADY A GRADED
What are the two major categories of pavement? - (ANSWER)Flexible and rigid
What are some types of flexible pavement? - (ANSWER)Grass, dirt, gravel and
asphalt
Why are paved surfaces necessary at airports? - (ANSWER)To support the critical
loads imposed on them; to produce a smooth, skid-resistant and safe-riding
surface
Airport surfaces are distinguished by operational control and FAA design
standards into what two areas? - (ANSWER)Movement and non-movement
What constitutes the movement area on an airport? - (ANSWER)Runways and
taxiways. At ATCT controlled airports, the surfaces under ATC control. These areas
must meet Part 139 design restrictions.
What constitutes the non-movement area of an airport? - (ANSWER)Taxiways
and aprons not under ATCT control
How are movement and non-movement areas determined at an airport with an
ATCT? - (ANSWER)By Letter of Agreement (LOA) between the airport and the
ATCT.
,What is the benefit of using a rigid pavement such as Portland Cement Concrete?
- (ANSWER)It is about half the lifetime cost of asphalt, with a service life of 30+
years versus 5-15 years for asphalt. Concrete is more expensive up front though,
so asphalt is common at low revenue airports such as GA.
What are two major elements that make pavements deteriorate? -
(ANSWER)weathering and aircraft loads
For bearing strengths of 12,500lbs or greater, what method is used to express the
effect of an individual aircraft on different pavements? - (ANSWER)Comparing
ACN to PCN (Aircraft Classification Number-Pavement Classification Number)
What does the Pavement Classification Number (PCN) represent to the
operator/pilot? - (ANSWER)PCN is the maximum pavement bearing strength for
unrestricted aircraft operations.
What is the Load Classification Number (LCN) used to describe? -
(ANSWER)Pavement bearing strengths less than 12,500lbs
What are the five major categories of pavement distress? - (ANSWER)cracking,
joint seal damage, disintegration, distortion, loss of skid resistance
Edges of abutting pavement or pavement and other areas must be no more than
how many inches in elevation difference? - (ANSWER)3 inches
, What are the maximum dimensions of a hole that are allowed by Part 139? -
(ANSWER)Any hole with a diameter greater than 5 inches and either 3 inches
deep or a slope of greater than 45 degrees
How far are landing distances increased on wet pavement? - (ANSWER)By 15
percent or more
What are the three types of hydroplaning? - (ANSWER)Dynamic, viscous, and
rubber reversion
What are three pavement elements that help to mitigate hydroplaning? -
(ANSWER)pavement grooving, porous friction course, wire combing
At what point should rubber removal occur on a runway? - (ANSWER)Based on a
friction evaluation, frequency of turbo-jet landings, or when 40% of the grooves
are 1/8'' or less in depth or width for a distance of 1,500ft
What is the normal depth and spacing of pavement grooving? - (ANSWER)1/4''
deep, 1/4" wide, 1.5"apart
What are four rubber removal techniques? - (ANSWER)high-pressure water,
chemical solvents, high-velocity abrasive, mechanical grinding
