Its part of ramp, so yea. Is a parking area different from a ramp? It is part of the ramp/apron. Is a taxiway considered part of the apron? Nope. As already noted. FAA AC No: AC 150/5300- 13A Airport Design defines runways and taxiways as: Runway (RW). A defined rectangular surface on an airport prepared or suitable for the landing or takeoff ...
23. Ramp refers to the area in airport where the aircraft are parked. This term comes from the days of seaplanes. From this site: The term ‘Ramp‘ traces its roots back to the days of seaplanes when there literally was a ramp from the water to the terminal parking area. In case of seaplanes, the area is actually an inclined plane between the ...
Image from airplane-pictures.net. This probably originated from the word defining theatrical apron: 1903 A. B. WALKLEY Dramatic Criticism 108 The ‘apron’ is the technical name for the stage-area in front of the curtain. In the Elizabethan theatre it jutted right out among the public, who surrounded it on three sides.
The Apron Planning and Design Guidebook is used in the US. The goal was to provide a one stop shop for all the relevant information. The FAA maintains a list of standards. Further, there is special CAD software for the design of airports. This includes the turn radius planning for a large number of aircraft. Finally, because of the complexity ...
They responded “proceed to the airport boundary”. When I was closer I got the landing clearance to the ramp. Does the phraseology “airport boundary” have a specific meaning, or is it simply in lieu of a pattern entry instruction. My local controllers typically give a reporting instruction like “continue inbound, report 1 west”
The reason is most often weather at the destination airport. Runway closures, accidents, construction, plowing/de-icing can all cause these delays also. An example. In good weather, airport A may land 90 aircraft per hour. The helpful airlines have scheduled 110 airplanes to land in one particular hour (no slots at this airport!).
$\begingroup$ Thanks for the detailed illustration and expression; it was clear. And for your assumption about holding taxiway I know this used for an apron, and refer the plane's taxi from apron to apron taxiway maybe; I do not know clearly; and you understand me correctly, thanks for that.
The use of metering allows the airport controllers to manage ramp and taxi space by sequencing aircraft push and taxi. Metering control can also help manage potential congestion due to ground delays for situations such as poor weather, runway closures, deicing, flow times into particular destination airports or any other situation that ...
A “movement area” is just the portion of an airport where ATC controls movement. It has no effect on any other regulations, such as transponder use. Consider that the vast majority of airports don’t even have a movement area because they don’t have a control tower. All the other rules still apply.
A "relaxed definition" of this concept is in use today on aircraft carriers. Notice the ramp in question is essentially a mechanical device to increase the total thrust force on the aircraft, which increases acceleration. This is also exactly the same as pitching an airborne aircraft down, or launching a model aircraft by throwing it.
