Which instrument or diagram shows a detailed diagram of the airport including surface features and configuration information?

• A. The section of an instrument approach procedure chart that shows a detailed diagram of the airport.
• B. A weather radar display.
• C. A chart showing en route navigation.
• D. A document listing airport fees.

Answer: (A)

The instrument approach procedure chart includes the airport diagram section, which provides a detailed depiction of the airport’s surface layout. This diagram shows runways and their orientation, runway lengths, taxiways, ramps, buildings, and other surface features, giving you the exact configuration of the field. It’s the go-to resource for understanding how the airport is laid out and planning taxiing after landing or before takeoff.

Weather radar displays weather returns, not airport layout. En route navigation charts show routes between fixes across regions, not the local airport surface plan. Documents listing airport fees contain financial information, not diagrammatic layout.
