Which area is bounded by a fence and is used for aircraft taxiing, landing, and takeoff, and is accessible only with authorized ID badges?

• A. Air Operations Area (AOA)
• B. Areas Not Included in AOA
• C. Security Identification Display Area (SIDA)
• D. Sterile areas

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is identifying the airside zone where aircraft actually move and operations occur. The area that is fenced off and used for taxiing, landing, and takeoff is the Air Operations Area. This zone is tightly controlled for security; access is limited to authorized personnel who have the proper ID and credentials. That combination of a perimeter boundary and the purpose of moving aircraft exactly matches what the Air Operations Area is. Areas not included in the Air Operations Area are landside spaces like terminals and parking areas. Sterile areas refer to parts of the terminal beyond security checkpoints, and the Security Identification Display Area is the badge-controlled portion inside the airside space. So the best fit for the description is the Air Operations Area.
