Synthesis of Information Related to Airport Practices. Topic S07-03. Airfield Apron/Ramp Surface Markings
Airports operations and planning staffs have relied on local knowledge and industry communications to develop local ramp/apron markings schemes. This creates confusion for pilots, airfield operators, and ramp service providers. The airport industry would benefit from consolidated guidance. The scope of the project is to describe the variation in airport apron and ramp markings used in directing pilots from terminal to and from taxiways. The objective of this synthesis is to document NPIAS airport ramp and apron marking variation, including but not limited to, aircraft parking (hardstand or gate), taxilanes, and airside roadway system areas. The audience for this synthesis report is airport industry personnel responsible for airside operations, safety, or planning and design.
