La Guardia Airport and Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro are examples of airports that still operate on sites
originally chosen for their ability to handle large seaplanes.
The largest airports in the world employ more than 100,000 workers each.
Physical facilities
- runways, taxiways, aprons, and strips,
Airside
- Terminal operation companies have also become more frequent, such as those that own terminals
- concentrated on the apron, or ramp, which is that part of the operational surface adjacent to the terminals where
aircraft are maneuvered or parked.
The principal determinants of airport layout are the number of runways and their orientation, the shape of the
available site, and constraints at the site both on the ground and in the air.
For the largest airports, obstacles to air navigation must be considered up to about 15 km (10 miles) from the
runways.
At the smallest airports, light aircraft are unable to operate in crosswinds greater than 10 knots; at all airports, operation
in tailwinds in excess of 10 knots is not recommended by aircraft manufacturers.
The operational capacity of an airport, which is usually defined as the maximum possible number of aircraft
landings and take-offs, is determined by the number of runways that are available for use at any one time.
Rigid pavements are constructed of Portland cement concrete slabs resting on a prepared subbase of granular material
or directly on a granular subgrade.
Load is transmitted through the slabs to the underlying subgrade by flexure of the slabs.
Visual guidance to approaching aircraft is also provided by approach lighting systems, a configuration of high-intensity
white lights running along the centreline of the runway and extending up to 600 metres (2,000 feet) beyond the threshold.
Touchdown-zone lighting is provided over the first 900 metres (3,000 feet) from the runway threshold.
Edges and centreline are delineated by white lights that shine toward the maneuvering aircraft at regular intervals.
Taxiways are delineated by blue edge lights and by green centreline lights that also appear at regular intervals.
Ground controller
- responsibility is to avoid conflicting movements of aircraft in the operational area of the airfield.
- gives the pilot instructions on reaching the apron stand position via the appropriate turnoffs and taxiways.
