This document contains an exam for the subject Air Traffic Control and Planning. The exam contains two parts:
Part A contains 10 short answer questions worth 2 marks each about topics like the difference between primary and secondary runways, air traffic service objectives, RADAR, runway length considerations, obstacle restrictions, and flight advisory service.
Part B contains 5 longer answer questions worth 16 marks each about topics like alerting service, rules of the air, secondary radar principles, aerodrome data and terminology, runway dimensions, aerodrome design, and calculating actual runway length from given data.
