Apron and ramp (in US) mean the same, though the official term is apron. FAA Advisory Circular Number 120-57A Surface Movement and Guidance Control System defines it as: Apron (Ramp). A defined area on an airport intended to accommodate aircraft for purposes of loading or unloading passengers or cargo, refueling, parking, or maintenance.
1903 A. B. WALKLEY Dramatic Criticism 108 The ‘apron’ is the technical name for the stage-area in front of the curtain. In the Elizabethan theatre it jutted right out among the public, who surrounded it on three sides. This ‘apron’ slowly shrank..till at last in our day it has altogether disappeared.
What are the approximate dimensions of the apron aircraft zones, ramp, aircraft stands such as Airbus A380, Boeing B737, F16. The Apron Planning and Design Guidebook is used in the US. The goal was to provide a one stop shop for all the relevant information. The FAA maintains a list of standards. Further, there is special CAD software for the ...
Apron taxiways are just taxiways, except they are on the apron. They help planes on the apron connect to the main taxiways or the planes on the main taxiways connect to the apron. I don't know what you meant by holding taxiways, but I assume you meant runway threshold or runway holding point. In that case, here's your illustration:

But the distance between two stands isn't 3m+wingspan+3m, because the plane has to park with its own propulsion, so has to do a 180º turn in this space. – oriolflvi. Jul 29, 2016 at 9:24.
7. In terminal designs, the main difference between a pier and a concourse is that a pier is connected by terminal buildings on one side, but a concourse has separate terminal buildings connected by transportation either under or over ground. In practice, the terms "terminal" and "concourse" are often used interchangeably, with "satellite ...
The airport charts usually contain the coordinates of all parking positions. The charts that are available from the FAA AIP (e.g. here for JFK) only contain a single ground chart with the airport diagram: These do not include the coordinates. But my Jeppesen charts contain coordinates for all parking positions. E.g. some gates at JFK:
23. Ramp refers to the area in airport where the aircraft are parked. This term comes from the days of seaplanes. From this site: The term ‘Ramp‘ traces its roots back to the days of seaplanes when there literally was a ramp from the water to the terminal parking area. In case of seaplanes, the area is actually an inclined plane between the ...
17. I've noticed that at many airports, the transient GA parking spaces often don't have tie-down anchors (e.g. bolts drilled into the pavement; heavy steel cables, etc.) or tie-down ropes. They simply have a "T" painted on the ground to indicate the parking alignment. This is true even for many FBO-managed parking spaces.
