TP312 Course 2 - Aerodrome Data and Physical Characteristics

This module will discuss the various aerodrome data that are published in aeronautical publications. As well as definitions, the data include such things as geographic data, declared distances, ICAO Type A charts, pavement strength and condition of the movement area.

This module will explain how the aircraft group number tables (introduced in Module 5) are used to determine runway widths and slopes and the length and width of runway strips.

Runway safety area, runway end safety area, stopways and turn pads will be discussed in terms of application, location and characteristics.

This module describes how aircraft group number tables are used to determine the dimensions of taxiways and taxiway strips.

We will also look at taxiway minimum separation distances, taxiway safety area, holding bays and runway-holding positions.
