What does the movement area of an aerodrome include?

The movement area of an aerodrome is defined as the portion of the aerodrome that is used for the takeoff, landing, and taxiing of aircraft. This includes both the taxiways and the aprons. Taxiways are the paths that connect runways with terminals and other areas of the aerodrome, allowing aircraft to move safely on the ground. Aprons refer to the areas where aircraft are parked, loaded, unloaded, and serviced. Together, taxiways and aprons constitute essential parts of the movement area, facilitating the operational flow of aircraft both on the ground and prior to their departure or after their arrival.

Other options, such as runways or terminal areas, do not encompass the entire movement area comprehensively, as the definition specifically highlights the integration of taxiways and aprons essential for ground operations. Parking lots are not a part of the aerodrome's movement area since they are typically designated for vehicles and do not facilitate aircraft movements.
