2. Airside Components Runways
Taxiways (Significant changes to taxiways occurred recently. See latest FAA Advisory Circulars) *
Taxilanes
Apron

3. Airside Example

4. Airport Types Utility airports Transport airports
Speeds < 120 knots
Transport airports
Speeds >121 knots

5. Design Aircraft Classes
Based on wingspan

IV ft
V ft
VI ft

7. Runway Spacing (1/2) Runway to runway – see table 9-4 and footnotes!
VFR I-IV >700 ft
V, VI >1200 ft
IFR Min 2,500 ft
Indep Arr Min 4,300 ft
Depen Arr Min 3,000 ft.
Both Dep w/radar 2,500 ft
w/o radar 3,500 ft

TWY

12. Example (2/2) 1.1 WS + 10 = 129 = separation between taxiways
L+(0.1WS+10)+(WS/2)=230 = distance from taxiway to terminal
L=154
0.1 WS+10=21
0.6 WS+10=75=distance from CL of TW to object
