\"Airport<\/a>
Airport Operations Areas (or “AOA”), encompass the runways, taxiing zones, aprons, refueling and loading areas at an airport. They are special, busy, loud, time-pressured environments, where injuries occur to innocent airport workers, government agents, airline employees and members of the traveling public.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Doug Landau takes the podium on the national program to teach other top trial lawyers about the special rules and regulations at airport runways, he will start by defining what is meant by the “AOA.” \u00a0According to the Federal Aviation Administration (\u201cFAA\u201d) the Air Operations Area (AOA) \u201cconsists of airport areas where aircraft can operate, either under their own power or while in tow. The AOA includes runways, taxiways, and apron areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/documentLibrary\/media\/Advisory_Circular\/150_5220_24.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

Another FAA definition of the “Air Operations Area<\/strong>” is \u201cwhere security measures are enforced as specified in the airport security program. This area includes aircraft movement areas, aircraft parking areas, loading ramps, and safety areas and any adjacent areas (such as general aviation areas).\u201d<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/documentLibrary\/media\/Advisory_Circular\/150_5300_18b_part2.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

To further elaborate, the term is defined in the Aviation Glossary explanation of the AOA as \u201cAny area of an airport used or intended to be used for landing, takeoff, or surface maneuvering of aircraft. An air operations area includes such paved areas or unpaved areas that are used, or intended to be used, for the unobstructed movement of aircraft in addition to its associated runway, taxiways, or apron.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is the area of the airport, after passengers pass through the entrance of the terminal, successfully navigate the TSA screening area and enter the \u201csterile area\u201d, where their luggage from the underbellies of the jets is loaded and unloaded, planes are re-fueled, catering trucks mate to international aircraft, maintenance Cushman vehicles stop for repairs, mid-field people movers bring travelers to their gates, tugs tow planes to runways or baggage to \u201carrivals\u201d conveyer belts, ground crews use hand signals with illuminated wands to cockpits and pre-flight inspections are carried out by airline crew members. “Understanding what area is within the special rules covering the AOA is critical to the investigation of a permanent injury case or collision between airport vehicles or jets,” notes Landau, of the Herndon law firm ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. His Dulles International Airport (“IAD”) office routinely helps injured airport workers, airline employees, air travelers and the innocent victims of unsafe conduct on the runways of East Coast airports.<\/p>\n
