Number-Pavement Classification Number) ACN less than or equal to
PCN

operator/pilot? Correct Answer-PCN is the maximum pavement bearing
strength for unrestricted aircraft operations.
What is the Load Classification Number (LCN) used to describe?
Correct Answer-Pavement bearing strengths less than 12,500lbs

Answer-cracking, joint seal damage, disintegration, distortion, loss of
skid resistance

(ICAO) required what? Correct Answer-Required certificated
international airports to establish an SMS
What are the four pillars of the Safety Management System? Correct
Answer-policy/objectives, risk management, assurance, and promotion
, What are four key elements of airport safety policy and objectives?
Correct Answer-Safety program methods, processes, authorities and
accountability
What are the five phases of the safety risk management process? Correct
Answer-Phase 1: describe the system; Phase 2: identify the hazard;
Phase 3: determine the risk; Phase 4: assess and analyze the risk; Phase
5: treat the risk
What four items enhance an airport's ability to identify hazards? Correct
Answer-operational expertise; training in hazard analysis techniques; use
of a hazard analysis tool; documenting the process
What are four risk mitigation strategies? Correct Answer-avoidance
(stop or shift the operation), assumption (accepting the risk), control
(minimize or eliminate the risk), transfer (shift risk to another area)
What are four types of risks taken by airport operators? Correct Answer-
Informed, uninformed, benefit-driven, pointless
What does safety assurance include? Correct Answer-auditing and
oversight
What does safety promotion involve? Correct Answer-training,
education, communication and continuous improvement
