Aviation facilities

Airfield Facilities An aviation facility consists of four land-use areas: two airside facilities (landing and takeoff areas, aircraft ground movement, and parking areas) and two landside facilities (aviation maintenance and aviation operations support areas)

An aviation maintenance facility provides full-service aircraft maintenance repairs and overhauls for virtually all aircraft types

Whether it’s a general aviation airplane, commercial airline, corporate jet, helicopter, government, and privately-owned aircraft, the stations are all-inclusive

Aviation operations support facilities should be located along the hangar line, with the central area allocated to airfield operations (i

, airfield management facility), air traffic control, aircraft rescue and firefighting, and flight simulation
