QUESTION 1
From a funding perspective, why is it so important for airports to have effective maintenance programs in place for their paved surfaces?
Answer- Airport pavements must provide safe and frequent aeroplane operations; as a result, these surfaces must be monitored and costly maintenance and rehabilitation work must be carried out. To assess the required maintenance and restoration work, measurements of bearing capacity, lateral and longitudinal evenness, tire grip, and pavement deterioration were collected and aggregated..
QUESTION 2
When hosting an aeronautical special event, why is returning the airport to normal operating conditions so important? Explain
    
Answer-. Special events involving aviation or aircraft are known as aeronautical special events. The event sponsor must clean up the event grounds after the event is over in order to resume normal activities. The cleanup after the event is a crucial aspect. It may even be worthwhile to hire a business cleaning firm to ensure that the site grounds are properly cleaned.
QUESTION 3
Why was WWII and the years which followed such an important time for the development of commercial airports?
Answer- The "Golden Age of Aviation" was a 20-year period between the end of World War I and the start of World War II. During this time, aeroplanes evolved from lumbering, wired-framed, fabric-covered biplanes to elegant, all-metal monoplanes. Long-range bombers were improved, jet-powered aircraft were tested, and radar was used to pinpoint enemy targets and detect hostile planes, among other technological advancements in aviation throughout the conflict. Planes became faster and fuel consumption dropped in the post-World War II era.
QUESTION 4
What is the purpose of the RCAM? Why is it advantageous to pilots and airport operators?
Answer- The runway condition assessment matrix, or RCAM, is an acronym for runway condition assessment matrix. It is used by aircraft manufacturers to evaluate acceptable performance data for certain runway surface conditions, as well as to provide certified data and guidance material to aircraft operators for safe aircraft operation on dry, wet, and polluted runway surfaces.
The performance data is calculated using this matrix. It's crucial for assessing the contamination's location, nature, and depth. It can also be used to calculate aeroplane braking action.
QUESTION 5
How are airports assigned a hub classification status in the NPIAS? Why is this classification important?
Answer- The statute divides NPIAS airports into two categories: primary and non-primary. According to data from the calendar year (CY) 2018, there are 396 primary airports. Large hub, medium hub, small hub, and non-hub airports are the four categories of primary airports.
General aviation aircraft are usually serviced from airports other than main airports. The non-primary category includes non-primary commercial airports (public airports serving scheduled passengers and between 2,500 and 9,999 passengers boarding each year), general aviation airports, and relief airports. . There are 2,908 sub-airports in the United States. National, regional, local, base and unclassified airports are divided into five groups.
QUESTION 6
The Airport Certification Manual (ACM) is known as a living document. What does this mean? Give an example.
