In what documents are movement/nonmovement area defined?

• A. LOA between Airport and ATC
• B. FAA Order 8400.9
• C. Airport Security Plan
• D. NOISE Compatibility Program

Answer: (A)

Movement area and nonmovement area boundaries are defined in the Letter of Agreement between the airport and the ATC facility. This document specifies who has control, how access is managed, and the exact limits of the movement area (typically runways and taxiways) versus the nonmovement areas (ramp and other zones not under ATC control). The other documents serve different purposes: FAA Order 8400.9 covers broad FAA policies and certification guidance rather than airport-area boundaries; the Airport Security Plan focuses on security measures and authorized access; the NOISE Compatibility Program addresses environmental noise issues. Because the LOA directly establishes the division between movement and nonmovement areas and who is responsible for them, it is the correct source for these definitions.
