_____________, include the most common airport development measure proposed under part 150, which are runway extensions, new runways, and taxiway development.

• A. Airport development measures
• B. Environmental measures
• C. Administrative measures
• D. Operational measures

Answer: (A)

Part 150 governs how airports plan measures to reduce noise and guide compatibility with surrounding areas. The measures are categorized, with airport development measures referring to physical additions or enhancements to the airport itself—such as extending runways, building new runways, or expanding taxiways. These are concrete changes to airport infrastructure aimed at increasing capacity, efficiency, or safety. Environmental measures focus on reducing environmental impacts without new facilities, administrative measures involve governance and procedures, and operational measures deal with how aircraft are flown or managed rather than the airport’s layout. So the examples given fit the category of airport development measures because they describe changes to the airport’s facilities and infrastructure.
