What is the designated area for maintenance at the home field?

• A. North taxiway
• B. First few spots of Alpha and Bravo lines
• C. Runway 32
• D. Fuel pits only

Answer: (B)

The designated area for maintenance at the home field is the first few spots of Alpha and Bravo lines. This area is typically chosen because it provides accessibility and safety for conducting maintenance tasks without interfering with active runways or taxiways where aircraft operations are ongoing. Additionally, positioning maintenance activities in this area allows for more convenient access to equipment and supplies while minimizing risks to operational safety.

The other areas mentioned, such as the North taxiway, runway 32, and fuel pits, do not offer the same suitability for maintenance. The taxiway and runway are primarily designed for aircraft movement, which can pose hazards if maintenance activities are conducted there. The fuel pits, while essential for fueling operations, are specifically designated for that purpose and not for maintenance activities, where tools and parts might require more space and different operational considerations.
