Correct options are highlighted when revealed.

1.Assertion (A): The proportion of incoming and outgoing flights affects the airport's capacity. Reason (R): Landing operations are usually prioritized over departures. Choose the correct option:

2.Which of the following statements accurately describe ICAO's recommendations for adjusting the basic runway length?

3.What is the required length of the clear zone for a non-instrument runway used by small aircraft?

4.According to ICAO standards, what is the minimum required runway length for airports classified as type A and type E?

5.An aircraft cruises at a speed of 500 km/h. If it encounters a headwind blowing at 50 km/h, what will be its airspeed and ground speed respectively?

6.What is the wind speed threshold below which the calm period is measured as a percentage of time?

7.Per ICAO guidelines, what color are all the markings on runways required to be?

8.What are the width and spacing of the transverse centerline bars along the extended centerline of a runway in an approach lighting system?

9.What is the required gradient for the obstruction clearance line starting from the edge of a heliport?

10.What are the required dimensions of the landing zone for multiengine helicopters operating under IFR conditions?

11.Assertion (A): Airport throughput under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) conditions is generally lower compared to VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions. Reason (R): In clear weather (VFR), aircraft on final approach can be positioned closer together than in low visibility scenarios. What is the correct relationship between A and R?

12.What is the smallest turning radius required for taxiways designed for supersonic transport aircraft?

13.Which of the following represents a type of distress commonly seen in flexible pavements?

14.Which facility is designated for the maintenance and repair of aircraft?

15.What is the relationship between an aircraft's maximum gross take-off weight and its maximum structural landing weight?

16.What does the castor angle represent in aviation?

17.Which of the following purposes is served by a wind rose diagram?

18.At an airport, there are 4 sets of gates, each containing 5 gates and situated far apart. If the ratio of future traffic to current traffic is 3, what is the total number of gates needed to accommodate future traffic?

19.Given that the runway length adjusted for elevation and temperature is 2845 meters, what will be the new runway length if the effective gradient of the runway is 0.5%?

20.Which of the following sets of factors are considered when calculating the required runway length for an aircraft's landing?

How to prepare with Airport Engineering MCQs

  • Work through questions topic by topic, then revisit any you answered incorrectly.
  • Read explanations carefully—they often cover facts that repeat across PPSC, FPSC, and NTS papers.
  • Pair subject practice with past papers to see how Airport Engineering appears in real exam conditions.
