  1. Lecture 2: AIRSIDE By: Zuliana Ismail PART 2

  2. Airside Signage

  3. Signage • Airside guidance signs provide direction and information to taxiing aircraft and any vehicles and assist in safe movement of aircraft.

  4. Importance of the Signs • To show mandatory instructions, information on a specific location or destination in the aerodrome. • Characteristics of signs: • Clear • Rectangular • Different colors for each category • Illuminated (light up)

  5. guidance signs Runway distance remaining signs: Landing distance remaining Destination signs: To show direction to the specific destinations (cargo areas, military areas, international areas, etc.) Location signs: To identify aircraft location. Direction signs: To indicate the intersection for aircraft turning. Mandatory signs: To indicate that aircraft ARE NOT ALLOWED to enter (runway entrance & critical areas)

  8. Weather Information

  9. Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) AutomatedSurface Observing Systems (ASOS) Airport Weather Stations Automated Sensor • Every 20 minutes • Observes temperature, wind speed & direction, visibility, cloud coverage. • Can’t observe sudden weather change. Every 1 hour Observe weather conditions change rapidly. Current weather, icing, lightning,, air pressure.

  10. Wind Indicators

  11. Wind Indicators Guiding pilot to determine the correct runway to use for landing and take off Wind Sock Wind Tee To Indicate wind direction only. To suggest the pilot the runway to be used • To Indicate wind direction & speed. • The stronger the wind, the straighter the wind sock. • Move back and forth when the wind is gusty.

  12. What are the Importanceof Weather Detector? • To prevent aircraft accidents. • To avoid flight delay or cancellations. • To make management of the air routes more efficient • To improve the safety of the aircraft in the air.

  13. Navigational Aid Systems

  14. Navigational Aid Systems • There are a number of navigational aids available in Airports. • A Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI): helps pilots fly a perfect approach for landing once they have found the airport. • VHF Omni directional range (VOR) to help pilots find the direction to the airport. • Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) to determine the distance to the airport. • Instrument Landing System(ILS) to find the runway and fly the correct approach, even if they cannot see the ground.

  17. Airport Classification Codes

  18. Airport Classification Codes Based On Two Elements Based on AIRCRAFT (ARC-Aerodrome Reference Code) Type Of Runway Approach (NI,NP,P) Example: 3C NP Type of approach Aerodrome reference code

  19. Aerodrome Reference Code • The aerodromes are coded according to the physical requirements of the critical aircraft • The aerodrome facilities must meet physical requirements of the critical aircraft

  20. Aerodrome Reference Code (ARC) • ARC is determined by two factors: • Code number (1,2..,4) to reflect aircraft operating performance in terms of balanced field length of runways • Airplane reference field length (RFL) • Code letter(A, B, ..,F) to reflect the aircraft physical dimensions • Wing span (WS)

  21. Aerodrome Reference Code (ARC) • Airplane reference Field Length (RFL): The minimum field length requiredfor take-off at maximum certificated take-off mass. • Wing Span (WS)= the maximum extent across the wings of an aircraft

  23. Aerodrome Reference Code

  24. ExerciseWhat is the airport classification codes for Boeing 747-400 & Airbus 380 landing at the Precision type Runway Boeing 747-400 RFL=2990m WS=64.4m Airbus A380 RFL=>3300m WS=79.8m
