How many airports are in the NPIAS and what three types are included? -
(ANSWER)3,380 airports; 1) commercial service, 2) reliever, 3) select GA
What are the three defining characteristics of commercial service airports? -
(ANSWER)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? - (ANSWER)Primary airport
Primary airports are split into 4 categories, what are they and how are they
defined? - (ANSWER)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?
- (ANSWER)between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year
What characterizes a reliever airport? - (ANSWER)1) open to the public; 2) 100 or
more based aircraft or 25,000 annual operations
General aviation airports can be included in the NPIAS under what circumstances?
- (ANSWER)If they have at least 10 locally based aircraft and are at least 20 miles
from a NPIAS airport

updated in accordance with grant assurance number 29? - (ANSWER)Airport
Layout Plans
Runway design standards are based on what three primary factors? -
(ANSWER)1) airplane design group (wingspan); 2) aircraft approach category
(approach speed); 3) approach visibility minimums
Taxiway and taxilane design standards are based on what primary factor? -
(ANSWER)airplane design group (wingspan)
How is airplane design group determined and categorized? - (ANSWER)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? -
(ANSWER)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? - (ANSWER)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
