Aerodrome Compliance, Standards and Certification - 3 The Physical Aerodrome

I wish I had known all of this when I started working in airside operations. I was a duty Operations Officer at a regional International Airport in the UK. I had just transitioned from air traffic control to civil airport operations. After seven years in ATC, I thought I knew what a runway was. Turns out there's a lot more to it than just saying clear land or clear take-off. This module of aerodrome compliance is exactly what you need to build on your knowledge of regulations, terminology, and to apply the aerodrome's operational requirements so that the aircraft can operate safely and efficiently with your infrastructure, meeting the specific needs of the operation.
