Question

Q1. Describe the aircraft parking system and runway configurations.

Please type the answer, if not possible you can write but at least 1-2 pages and also write relevant points.

Answer 1

Aircraft Parking

In some cases, the aircraft needs to be kept in a condition that enables quick resumption of operations. In this case, the parking procedure is applicable so that the number of tasks needed to prepare the aircraft for flight operations is minimised. It must be noted that aircraft with only parking procedures applied still require a number of recurring maintenance actions that ensures the aircraft remains in a “ready for flight” condition.

A320 family, A330, A340, A350, A380 aircraft

Which AMM/MP to apply will depend on if the aircraft will be parked for less than one-month or more than one-month..

Here are the two AMM/MP references:

• 10-10-00 Parking and storage procedures
• 10-11-00 Parking Procedure

A220 aircraft

Three procedures are available in the AMP depending on the duration of the parking: Parking 7 days, 15 days or 12 weeks.

AMP references:

• Parking (Maximum 7 days) BD500-A-J10-14-00-01AAA-890A-A
• Parking (Maximum 15 days) BD500-A-J10-10-00-01AAA-890A-A
• Parking (Maximum 12 weeks) BD500-A-J10-11-00-01AAA-890A-A

Runway Configuration:

Runway Configuration is the layout or design of a runway or runways, where operations on the particular runway or runways being used at a given time are mutually dependent. A large airport can have two or more runway configurations operating simultaneously.

1. Single – an airport having one runway

2. Parallel- two or more runways at an airport whose centerlines are parallel

Close parallel( centerlines are less than 2,500 feet apart )

Intermediate parallel ( centerlines are 2,500 –4,300 feet apart )

Far parallel ( centerlines are more than 4,300 feet apart )

3. Open V-are two intersecting runways whose extended centerlines intersection beyond their respective thresholds

4. Intersecting- two ore more runways that cross or meet within their lengths.
