Airport And Ground Operations Practice Exam

What color are the chevron markings beyond the end of the runway?

Yellow White Black Red

Correct Answer:

Yellow

Explanation:

Chevron markings beyond the end of the runway are yellow. They mark an overrun area (blast pad or stopway) that is not intended for landing, takeoff, or taxiing. The yellow color stands out against the runway surface and white runway markings, signaling to pilots that this space is not part of the usable runway. This area is provided for safety and deceleration but isn’t treated as part of the runway for operational purposes.
