OLF Site X max aircraft allowed?

OLF Site X max aircraft allowed?

• A. 12 total: 4 right, 4 left, 4 low work
• B. 16 total: 6 right, 6 left, 4 low work
• C. 18 total: 8 right, 8 left, 4 low work
• D. 14 (5 right, 5 left, 4 low work)

Answer: (D)

Safety and resource limits at an OLF site dictate how many aircraft can be on the field at once, and how that capacity is split among different roles. Site X sets a total of fourteen aircraft, with five assigned to the right-seat position, five to the left-seat position, and four classified as low work. This arrangement ensures there are enough aircraft available for active flight training in both pilot positions while reserving ground/maintenance or non-flight tasks, all without surpassing ramp space, airspace, and supervisor capacity. The other totals would either underutilize or overextend the site’s safety and operational limits, so fourteen with that specific distribution is the maximum.
