Landing occurs on which spot when proceeding to the Fuel/Crew change with active runway 14?

• A. Spot 2
• B. Spot 3
• C. Spot 4
• D. Spot 5

Answer: (B)

When Runway 14 is active, the ramp plan designates a specific pad for fuel and crew changes to keep helicopter traffic separate from the active runway and to provide a direct, safe path to the fueling area. Landing on that designated pad ensures a straightforward approach onto the ramp and minimizes interference with other movements, while also giving immediate access to the fuel/crew change point and a clean taxi to parking. Other pads would place you in less optimal locations—closer to the runway’s path or away from the fueling area—creating unnecessary risk or extra taxiing.
