approach aprons Explanation: sounds suspicously like a literal translation of English. In construction terms, an apron is a hard-surfaced area adjacent to a structure (typically used for the areas around airport terminals), e.g. (ref 1) 'connecting taxiways which provide access to the apron and building areas. ' or (ref 2): 'Construct Apron And Access Roads ' www.provo.org/Current_Issues/Airport_Master_Plan/Airport_Plan/ airport_plan.html Reference: http://www.faa.gov/arp/app500/annrep94/table2/co.htm |
