with lighting, in 1 of the following categories of aerodrome:

(a) basic — an aerodrome with 1 runway, with 1 taxiway to 1 apron area;

(b) simple — an aerodrome with 1 runway, having more than 1 taxiway to 1 or more apron areas;

(c) complex — an aerodrome with more than 1 runway, having more than 1 taxiway to 1 or more apron areas.

aerodrome movement, for an aircraft, means a take-off, a landing, or a touch-and-go manoeuvre at an aerodrome.

aerodrome reference code (ARC) has the meaning given to it in Chapter 4 of this MOS.

aerodrome reference point (ARP) means the designated geographical location of an aerodrome.

aerodrome technical inspection means an inspection of the facilities, equipment and operation of a certified aerodrome, conducted by, or on behalf of, the aerodrome operator to ensure detection of any deterioration that could make any of the facilities, equipment or operations unsafe for aircraft operations.

Aerodrome Terrain and Obstacle Chart — ICAO (Electronic) means an electronic chart that portrays such terrain, obstacle and aeronautical data for an aerodrome as is reasonably required to:

(a) enable an operator to:

 (i) carry out operating limitations analysis for aircraft using the aerodrome; and

 (ii) know whether the operator's aircraft may land at, and take off from, the aerodrome within the operating limitations of the aircraft; and

 (iii) develop procedures for use in the event of:

             (A) a missed approach or take-off; or

             (B) an emergency during landing or take-off; and

(b) support the following activities for the safety of air navigation:

 (i) instrument procedure design (including circling procedures);

 (ii) aerodrome obstacle restriction and removal;

 (iii) provision of source data for the production of other aeronautical charts.

Note   See sections 7.21 and 7.24.

aerodrome traffic density means the number of aircraft movements in the mean busy hour, in 1 of the following categories:

(a) light — not greater than 15 movements per runway, or typically less than 20 total aerodrome movements;

(b) medium — 16 to 25 movements per runway, or typically between 20 to 35 total aerodrome movements;

(c) heavy — 26 or more movements per runway, or typically more than 35 aerodrome movements.

aeronautical beacon means an aeronautical ground light visible at all azimuths, either continuously or intermittently, to designate a particular point on the surface of the Earth.

aeronautical ground light means any light specially provided as an aid to air navigation, other than a light displayed on an aircraft.

aeronautical study means an investigation of a problem concerned with aircraft operations, aimed at identifying:

(a) possible solutions (if any); and

(b) the solution (if any) which best preserves an acceptable level of aviation safety.
