Cold Temperature Airport Procedures a. PILOTS MUST NOT MAKE AN ALTIMETER CHANGE to accomplish an altitude correction. Pilots must ensure that the altimeter is set to the current altimeter setting provided by ATC in accordance with ... Actions on when and where to make corrections: Pilots will make an altitude correction to the published, “at”, “at or above”, and “at or below” altitudes on all designated segment(s) to all runways for all published instrument approach procedures…

These may be publicly or privatelyowned. • General Aviation Airports — the remaining airports are commonly described as General Aviation Airports. This airport type is the largest single group of airports in the U.S. system. The category also includes privately owned, public ... airports that enplane 2500 or more passengers annually and receive scheduled airline service. Types of Airports There are two types of airports—towered and nontowered. These types can be further subdivided to: • Civil Airports—airports that are open…

Lighting Technologies A top priority of the FAA is to continue to enhance airport safety while maintaining airport capacity. Reducing runway incursions is a major component of this effort. Runway incursions develop quickly and without warning during routine traffic situations ... airport surface, leaving little time for corrective action. The Runway Status Lights (RWSL) System is designed to provide a direct indication to you that it is unsafe to enter a runway, cross a runway, or takeoff from or land…

The airport operator determines the need, size, and location of these signs. • Runway distance remaining signs—black background with white numbers ... numbers indicate the distance of the remaining runway in thousands of feet. Airport Lighting The majority of airports have some type of lighting for night operations. The variety and type of lighting systems depends on the volume and complexity…

Pilots should have, readily available, the published ALD and runway slope information for all LAHSO runway combinations at each airport ... intended landing. Additionally, knowledge about landing performance data permits the pilot to readily determine that the ALD for the assigned runway is sufficient for safe LAHSO. As part of a pilot’s preflight planning process, pilots should determine if their…
