Let's talk about aerodromes 
 
There are 3 definitions we should take into account: 
● airfield 
● aerodrome 
● airport 
 
AIRFIELD: a level area where aircraft can take off and land, with fewer buildings and 
services than an airport and used by fewer passengers. It may or may not be equipped 
with navigational aids or markings 
 
 
 
AERODROME (Br) or AIRDOME (Am): a defined area on land or water (including any 
buildings, installations, and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for 
the arrival, departure, and surface movement of aircraft. 
 
 
 
AIRPORT: are the authorized space for aircraft takeoff and landing. While some 
airports are small private and commuter hubs, we generally think of more extensive 
commercial flight operations when referring to airports. 
Along with runways and terminals, airports also include control towers, hangars, 
taxiways, lounges, food service areas, restaurants, emergency services, security, 
baggage handling, and more. Because airports are a connection point between cities, 
countries, and continents, they have unique requirements when it comes to construction

and security. The term airport may imply a certain stature (having satisfied certain 
certification criteria or regulatory requirements) that not all aerodromes may have 
achieved. That means that all airports are aerodromes, but not all aerodromes are 
airports 
 
Types of airports 
 
There are three types of Airports 
International Airports 
Domestic Airports 
Regional Airports 
 
International Airports 
An international airport has direct service to many other airports. 
Handle scheduled commercial airlines both for passengers and cargo. 
Many international airports also serve as "HUBS", or places where non-direct flights 
may land and passengers switch planes. 
Typically equipped with customs and immigration facilities to handle international 
flights to and from other countries. 
Such airports are usually larger, and often feature longer runways and facilities to 
accommodate the large aircraft. (FBO, MRO etc..) 
 
Domestic Airports 
A domestic airport is an airport which handles only domestic flights or flights within 
the same country. 
Domestic airports don't have customs and immigration facilities and are therefore 
incapable of handling flights to or from a foreign airport. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport
These airports normally have short runways which are sufficient to handle 
short/medium haul aircraft. 
 
Regional Airports 
A regional airport is an airport serving traffic within a relatively small or lightly 
populated geographical area. 
A regional airport usually does not have customs and immigration facilities to process 
traffic between countries. 
Aircraft using these airports tend to be small business jets or private aircraft (general 
aviation)

What are the main parts? 
 
RUNWAY 
It is a defined area at an airport, most commonly made from asphalt and concrete, 
for takeoff and landing of aircraft. Depending on the airport, this area could be 
nothing more than a strip of grass, dirt, or sand. However, most airport runways are 
made from asphalt and concrete. 
 
Its different parts are 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
APRON 
The airport apron, apron, flight line, ramp, or tarmac is the area of an airport where 
aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, boarded, or maintained. Although 
the use of the apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on vehicles, it is 
typically more accessible to users than the runway or taxiway. 
 
 
 
TERMINAL 
It is a building at an airport where passengers transfer between ground 
transportation and the facilities that allow them to board and disembark from an 
aircraft.

Practice 
 
 
 
Airport layout 
Look at the following diagram, read the statements and decide if they are true or false. 
 
 
 
1.- The longest Runway is 01L– 19R. 
2.- Runway 09-27 intersects Runway 01L – 19R. 
3.- You can enter Runway 19 Left from Taxiway Alpha 2. 
4.- The Control Tower is 1,233 feet high. 
5.- Four Gates cannot be seen from the Control Tower. 
6.- Runway 01R–19L is longer than Runway 01L–19R. 
7.- If you land on Runway 27, you can exit via Taxiway Charlie 8.
