What is the paved surface used to taxi aircraft from the parking ramp to the runway?

• A. Ramp/Apron
• B. Taxiway
• C. FOD
• D. Runway

Answer: (B)

The paved path that connects the parking ramp to the runway is called a taxiway. Taxiways are designed for aircraft to move on the ground at low speeds between areas like the ramp (apron) where planes park and the runway where takeoffs and landings occur. The ramp/apron is where aircraft are parked and serviced; the runway is used for takeoff and landing; FOD refers to debris that can damage aircraft, not a surface for moving between areas. So taxiways are the correct surface for taxiing from the ramp to the runway.
