How Well Can You Answer the Following Airport Management and Design Flashcards

With rectangular or linear manner with the goal of maintaining short distances between the vehicle curb and aircraft parking that existed with unit terminals. Disadvantages become evident as the length of the terminal building increases such as the walking distances.

It connects main terminal buildings with concourses; the main advantage of the remote satellite concept is that one or more satellite facilities may be constructed and expanded when necessary while providing sufficient space for aircraft taxi operations between the main terminal building and satellites.

Single unit terminals- contains all required passenger processing facilities for a given air carrier in a single unit building
Combined unit terminals- two or more airlines would share a common building, slightly larger than a simple unit terminal, but have separate passenger and baggage processing facilities.
Multiple unit terminal- separate buildings were constructed for each airline, each building behaving as its own unit terminal

Used to transport passengers to and from the terminal building to aircraft parked on the apron.

Off airport terminals have the notion that certain passenger processes, such as ticketing and baggage check-in, and certainly automobile parking, did not need to be within any proximity of aircraft.

A graphical representation of the utilization of aircraft gates over a given period of time. It can visually identify inefficiencies in gate utilization and potential conflicts.

· Flight interface- provides the link between the aircraft gates and passenger processing facilities
· Passenger processing- required to prepare departing passengers to leave the airport for ground transportation to their ultimate destinations
· Access/processing interface- coordinate the transfer of passengers between ground transportation and the terminal buiding
· Access/egress interface- movement of passengers and ground vehicles between origins and destinations in the community and the airport property

· Exclusive-use agreement- air carrier retains sole authority to use a particular gate or set of gates at an airport terminal
· Shared-use agreements- air carriers and other aircraft schedule use of gates in coordination with airport management and ther air carriers serving the airport
· Preferential-use agreements- one carrier has preferential use of the gate. Should that air carrier not be using the gate during some period of the day, other air carriers subscribing to the agreement may use the gate.

Common-use terminal equipment- a computer based system that can accommodate the operating systems of any air carrier that shares the check-in facility.

Federal inspection Services- passport inspection, inspection of baggage, and collection of duties on certain imported items, and sometimes inspection for agricultural material, illegal drugs, or other restricted items.

Metropolitan planning organizations- relied upon to bring together the general needs of urban transportation and the specialized needs of the airports by the development of comprehensive transportation plans for metropolitan or regional areas as a whole.

TSA was adopted by the Department of Homeland Security and made all homeland defense under the jurisdiction of the DHS.

Incorporated into the organizational structure of the US Department of Transportation, to be operated in close coordination with all other transportation administrations including the FAA.

Secured area- airport security are carried out
Sterile area- provides passengers access to boarding aircraft and to which the access general is controlled by TSA
SIDA area- must have a SIDA card to enter
Exclusive area- individual access points such as hangars

Persons must complete an application, and undergo a fingerprint-based criminal history records check, and TSA security threat assessment.
