AERODROMES
Team SANS

2. WHAT IS AERODROME ?
• A defined area on land or water (including any
buildings, inetdatione and equipment) intended to be
used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure
and movement of aircraft.

3. Compnents of a adequate AERODROME
•Runway.
•Taxiway.
•Apron.
•Terminal Building.
•Control Tower.
•Hanger.
•Parking.

4. Classifications of AERODROME
• Civil Airport is an aerodrome certificated for commercial flights.
• Military air base is an aerodrome with significant facilities to support
aircraft and crew. The term is usually reserved for military bases, but
also applies to civil seaplane bases.
• Airstrip is a small aerodrome that consists only of a runway with
perhaps fueling equipment. They are generally in remote locations.
• Water Aerodrome is an area of open water used regularly by seaplanes
or amphibious aircraft for landing and taking off. It has a terminal
building on land and/or a place where the plane can come to shore and
dock likes a boat to load and unload.

5. Aerodrome operating minima (AOM)
• AOM is a criteria used by pilots to determine whether they
may land or take off from any runway. AOM consist of two
parts: one relating to the cloud base and one relating to the
visibility and/or RVR (RVR).
• Pilots must determine the standards applied at airports
where they intend to operate and make due allowance for
any differences.

6. The limits of usability of an aerodrome for:
• a) Take-off, expressed in terms of RVR and/or visibility and, if
necessary, cloud conditions;
• b) Landing in Precision Approach and landing operations,
expressed in terms of visibility and/or RVR and Decision
Altitude/Height (DA/DH) (DA/H) as appropriate to the
category of the operation;
• c) Landing in approach and landing operations with vertical
guidance, expressed in terms of visibility and/or RVR and
DA/H; and
