1. Runway: A solid-surfaced strip of land used for aircraft takeoff and landing. It is level
and free of obstacles. Runways can be distinguished from regular driveways by
specific markings. Similar to that, after sunset, specifically installed lighting aids in a
safe landing. When planning a runway, many elements are taken into account. The
runway must be oriented toward the direction of the wind. For safety reasons, the second
lane should be placed perpendicular to the mainline because occasionally crosswinds
may happen. The airport's runway configuration is based on traffic volume. An
additional runway must be built if traffic moves more than 30 times per hour. Bitumen
or concrete can both be used to lay runways. Bitumen is cost-effective, but concrete
runways offer lo nger spans and require less upkeep. The maximum size of the aircraft
that can use the runway determines the width of the runway. Ground clearance, air
temperature, take-off height, and slope are a few factors that affect a runway's length.
2. Taxiway: A taxiway is a path made of asphalt or concrete that runs between two ends of a runway and
an
3. Apron: An area used to land aeroplanes is known as an apron. Additionally, it is used to load and unload
consideration during design. A proper pavement slope must be supplied together with
adequate drainage. Aircraft must have enough space between them to pass through one another.
4. The administrative offices for the airport are housed in the terminal building. Passengers
are inspected both before and after travel in this structure. Passengers have access to
lounges and eateries. Through bridges, walkways, etc., passengers can access the aircraft directly from th
right into the terminal.
5.Whether on the ground or in the air, a control tower is a structure that manages aircraft in
a certain area. The dispatcher uses radar to conduct surveillance while wirelessly
transmitting the data. The tower controller keeps track of every passing aircraft and
updates the pilot on movements at the airport, the landing approach, visibility, wind speed,
runway inform
The control tower can be compared to an airport's nervous system.
6. An aircraft's maintenance and repair are done at a hanger. When an aircraft needs repair, it is simple
