Which of the following is NOT a type of apron?

• A. Terminal apron
• B. Remote apron
• C. Hangar apron
• D. Maintenance apron

Answer: (D)

Aprons are the paved areas at an airport where aircraft park for loading, fueling, cleaning, and boarding. The terminal apron sits right beside the terminal for gates and passenger activity. The remote apron covers stands away from the terminal, usually served by buses. The hangar apron is the space around a hangar used for parking and staging aircraft near maintenance facilities. Maintenance work, however, happens inside hangars or in dedicated maintenance bays, not on the apron. Because of that, a “maintenance apron” isn’t a recognized type of apron.
