agree Charles Hawtrey: 'ground aircraft movements'. It's not water - it mentions "pistes", and that ain't water AFAIK. This is just a laborious definition of an entire airfield/airport area. //I saw that. Maybe 'surface aircraft movements'. Batiments & installations on water?

  -> Thanks, Charles! Laborious, yes — but they DO specifically mention water at the start of the second line / Yes, have you ever seen a seaplane base? Fascinating!
agree Amy Williams: yes - I see no reason why this shouldn't also refer to water aerodromes

neutral Tony M: The general ikdea, of course, but I thinkin it might be too restrictive, since they are obviously talking in the most general possible terms.
