Korean Air Law: Length of Class A runway
 

There was a question on the Korean Air Law exam...

What's the length of a Class A runway...


Does anyone know the correct answer? I can't find any reference to a "Class A" runway anywhere.

I'm wondering if they just translated the Korean to English the wrong way..

The answer is at or above 2,550 meters.
It is not a wrong translation but very difficult question.

This is the first time I hear such a thing as an EASA pilot.
Searched the internet but could not find much about it.
Do you know any resourse to read about this?

Ihatemondays,

Please PM me your email address.
I tried to PM you but unable to send you a picture.

Cross bleed,

There was another question on the Korean Air Law Test.

Maybe you know it as well.

Going from memory, it was something like: Does the jurisdiction of an ICAO state includes its waters and territories. The various possible answers were basically technical variations of the above.

It was a very bizarre question that I'm sure not even the lawyers at ICAO would know without some deep research, but maybe you know.

I believe this "Class A" nomenclature came from a very old ICAO categorization that's no longer in use (maybe except in Korea?) The table can be found in ancient copies of ICAO Annex 14. It has since been replaced by a two element Aerodrome Reference Code, consisting of a number and a letter (e.g., 1B or 4F).

ICAO replaced this table with the Aerodrome Reference Code maybe around 30 years ago? Perhaps best to ignore it unless studying for the Korean Air Law exam.

Slate100,

No idea about your new question.
I just happen to google your question and found the answer.

Peekay4,

I also trying to find it in ICAO Annex 14, Doc 9157 part2,3 but still no joy.

From Annex 14, 1st Edition:

The "new" Aerodrome Reference Codes were introduced in the early 1980s if I'm not mistaken.

Regarding the new question on jurisdiction, possibly look at the Chicago Convention, Article 2:

(but an answer from Korean Air Law would be more definitive for an exam).

Had to laugh at ," This is the first time I hear such a thing as an EASA pilot."

Peekay4 and cross bleed thank you for the information.
