1. Transport Canada defines two terms, manoeuvering area and movement area. The manoeuvering area is the area used for taxiing, take-off and landing. The movement area is the manoeuvering area plus the aprons. In other words, the manoeuvering area is just the runways and taxiways, while the movement area includes the parking areas. You can remember this by thinking that taxiing and taking off are more complicated, fancy manoeuvers than just parking, and manoeuvering is certainly a fancier word than movement. A question on these terms will probably turn up on your private pilot written examination, too.

1. The ramp or apron is the area where you park, preflight the aircraft, and walk around looking at airplanes you think you might like to own. It is part of the movement area, but is not included in the manoeuvering area.

3. The taxiways are included in both movement and manoeuvering areas.

4. Exactly. The taxiways and runways.
