What is the main purpose of a rapid exit taxiway ? [ Aptitude Licence ]

Question 25-1 : It minimises the runway occupancy time of landing aircraft to permit land and hold short operations lahso to maximise the runway occupancy time of departing aircraft it allows departing aircraft to line up at higher speeds

exemple 125 It minimises the runway occupancy time of landing aircraft. — Rapid exit taxiways or high speed exits enable aircraft to leave the runway at speeds up to 50 or 60 kts depending on the runway and aircraft type 50 kts even in wet conditions .they have a long constant radius rather than a 90 degree turn .the purpose is to enable a landing aircraft to vacate the runway more quickly without having to slow down to 'normal' taxi speeds a large aircraft like a 777 might need to slow to 10 or 15 knots to take a right angle turn this would mean spending longer on the runway slowing down to that speed .since the aircraft next on the approach cannot land until the runway is clear this enables closer spacing of landing aircraft It minimises the runway occupancy time of landing aircraft.

For the aeroplane for which the taxiway is intended the taxiway designer ?

Question 25-2 : Cockpit of the aeroplane will remain over the taxiway centre line markings width of the taxiway is decreased on the inner curve width of the taxiway is increased on the outer curve pilot will oversteer and the cockpit will not follow the centre line markings

exemple 129 Cockpit of the aeroplane will remain over the taxiway centre-line markings. — Refer to figure .when the taxiway is designed the designer assumes that planes will be manouvred in such a way that the cockpit stays above the centre line markings of the taxiway this allows the designer to make the corners wide enough to allow for the movement of the correct sized aircrafts some aircraft with very long wheel bases will 'cut the corners' with their outermost inside main landing gear so the design of the taxiways must accomodate this .this does make taxiing a large aircraft much easier for the pilots who simply have to keep themselves sat on the centre line Cockpit of the aeroplane will remain over the taxiway centre-line markings.

Question 25-37 : Water saturated snow which with a heel and toe slap down motion against the ground will be displaced with a splatter specific gravity 0 5 up to 0 8 water saturated snow which can be blown if loose or if compacted by hand will fall apart again upon release specific gravity up to but not including 0 35 snow which if compacted by hand will stick together and tend to or form a snowball specific gravity 0 35 up to but not including 0 5 snow which has been compressed into a solid mass that resists further compression and will hold together or break up into lumps if picked up specific gravity 0 5 and over

exemple 269 Water-saturated snow which with a heel-and-toe slap-down motion against the ground will be displaced with a splatter; specific gravity: 0.5 up to 0.8. — Icao annex 14slush water saturated snow which with a heel and toe slap down motion against the ground will be displaced with a splatter specific gravity 0 5 up to 0 8 note — combinations of ice snow and/or standing water may especially when rain rain and snow or snow is falling produce substances with specific gravities in excess of 0 8 these substances due to their high water/ice content will have a transparent rather than a cloudy appearance and at the higher specific gravities will be readily distinguishable from slush snow on the ground a dry snow snow which can be blown if loose or if compacted by hand will fall apart again upon release specific gravity up to but not including 0 35 . b wet snow snow which if compacted by hand will stick together and tend to or form a snowball specific gravity 0 35 up to but not including 0 5 . c compacted snow snow which has been compressed into a solid mass that resists further compression and will hold together or break up into lumps if picked up specific gravity 0 5 and over Water-saturated snow which with a heel-and-toe slap-down motion against the ground will be displaced with a splatter; specific gravity: 0.5 up to 0.8.

The sequence of flashing lights are measured from… ?

Question 25-38 : The threshold the designation marking the aiming point the touchdown zone

exemple 273 The threshold. — Refer to figure .icao annex 14.5 3 7 runway lead in lighting systems.characteristics.5 3 7 4 recommendation — each group of lights of a runway lead in lighting system should consist of at least three flashing lights in a linear or cluster configuration the system may be augmented by steady burning lights where such lights would assist in identifying the system .5 3 7 5 recommendation — the flashing lights and the steady burning lights should be white .5 3 7 6 recommendation — where practicable the flashing lights in each group should flash in sequence towards the runway .note even if the regulation does not make it clear it seems that easa is after the answer 'threshold' please let us know if you come across this question The threshold.
