Landside• Landside areas include parking facilities, public
transportation, terminal building and all utilities that support the operations of terminals.
• All these facilities associated with the movement of passengers and their baggage.

Terminal Building• Provides facilities for all passenger arriving and departing from.
It includes followings facilities:• Booking office• Custom’s office• Restaurants• Weather bureau• Luggage and mails rooms• Communication systems (telephone/telegraph office etc.)• Air traffic control tower

• The terminals are the ‘front door’ to the Airport and serve as the public interface between the airside and landside elements.

Apron•Portion of the airport usually paved in front of TB, mean for parking, loading/unloading of aircraft.

Hangers•Large sheds erected on airport for housing & repairing airplanes. It may be storage or service hangers.

Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
• Means the weather conditions are good enough for the aircraft to be operated by visual reference to the ground.
• In VFR conditions, there is no “ on route traffic control” and aircraft are allowed to fly on a “see & be seen” principle.

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)• Conditions prevails when the visibility or the ceiling falls
below those prescribed for flight under visual flight rules.• Essentially these rules require the assignment of specific
altitude and routes and minimum separation of aircraft at the same altitude and flying in the same direction.

Taxiways
• Defined parked path for taxiing aircraft to & from the runway
• Object is to provide access to the aircraft for runway to Terminal areas & service hangers.
• Should not cross runway.
