22
TORA & TODA
• Take off Run-TORA =Length of runway declared available and distance traversed on ground run of an airplane taking off = 1.15 x Midpoint length of runway)
• Take off Distance-TODA-length of the takeoff run available plus the length of Clear way; TODA=TORA + Clearway or 1.5 Tora
23
TAKE OFF DISTANCE-TODA
24
TAKE OFF RUN AVAILABLE-TORA
25
Runway Length
• Depends on the type of aircraft and speed of landing( Airbus require 3.5Km)
• 1800m for weights< 90,000Kg for smaller aircrafts
• ,2400m For Widebodies aircrafts
• 4000m for International flights
26
Runway Visual Range-RVR
• Is an instrumentally derived value that representing the horizontal distance a pilot can see down the runway, determined by visibility sensors
• RVR measured in increments of 100 feet up to 1,000 feet, increments of 200 feet from 1,000 feet to 3,000 feet, and increments of 500 feet above 3,000 feet to 6,000 feet.

Types
1. Single Runway-Simplest Runway used when winds blow on the Runway and suitable when peak HR traffic is <50 operations; Both ends can be used when the winds are light for landing and departure.
2. Parallel Runway-when winds blow on the runway and peak hr.traffic >50 operations and landing and departure on two runways
3. Intersecting Runway-when wind blow in one direction is > the other, intersecting runway being used.
4. Open V & Closed V runway

43
Designated positions in the runway
• Position 1. Aircraft initiates call to taxi for departing flight. Runway from Apron
• Position 2. Departing aircraft held at position 2. Engine run-up be performed here.
• Position 3. Take-off clearance issued • Position 4. Clearance to land is issued• Position 5. Clearance to taxi to apron • Position 6. Parking information issued
44
Actual Traffic Pattern in Parallel Runways
45
Parallel Runways <4300’
• Parallel Runways <4300’, Aircraft still required to be 2.5 NM apart on the same localizer,
• but close as 1.5 NM apart diagonally between the localizers
46
Parallel Runways <4300’
47
Minimum distance between parallel runways
• Safe if the runway spacing is greater than 1270m Unsafe if the spacing is lower than 930 m.

Runway Factors
1. Airport elevation above MSL2. Mean maximum temperature3. Wind velocity4. Aircraft operating weights5. Takeoff and landing flap settings6. Effective runway gradient7. Runway surface conditions (dry, wet,
contaminated, etc.)8. Presence of obstructions within the vicinity of
the approach and departure path, and

Runway Markings
1. Threshold: marked by a line of green lights-Four stripes on either side of the centerline at the end of the runway
2. Magnetic Runway Heading-29- number, to the nearest one-tenth of Magnetic North
3. Touch Down Zone Markers:Meant to help define the touchdown zone, they show distance information in 500 foot increments
4. Landing aiming point a visual cue, it is generally 1,000 feet from the threshold
5. Distance to go Markers:number denotes the distance remaining, in thousands of feet.
6. Runway Designator Sign:the departure end of runway 9 is to your left and the departure end of runway 27 is to your right.

Meaning of Signals in the event of Communication Failure
• Flashing Green-Permission to move to Taxi area
• Steady Red-Stop
• Flashing Red-Move off the Landing Area to taxi area
• Flashing White-Vacate manoeuvring area in accordance with local instructions
66
Minimum Safe/Sector Altitude-MSA
• MSA published for emergency use on IAP charts. • For conventional navigation systems, the MSA is
normally based on the primary omnidirectional facility• NAVAID used to determine the MSA altitudes.• For RNAV approaches, MSA is based on the runway
waypoint (RWY WP) for straight-in approaches, or the airport waypoint (APT WP) for circling approaches.
• For GPS approaches, the MSA center will be the missed approach waypoint (MAWP).
• MSAsexpressed in feet above mean sea level and normally have a 25 NM radius;
67
ORDER OF PRIORITY FORARRIVING AND DEPARTING
AIRCRAFT
• Landing ( Final stage of Approach) has Priority against Take off
• An aircraft landing or in the final stages of an approach to land have priority over an aircraft intending to depart from the same or an intersecting runway

Airport Design Areas
1. Evaluation of landing surface, instrument runway and aids.
2. Runway Safety Area program3. Airport Lighting4. Terminal Facilities5. Beacons6. Papi/Vasi7. Windcone

Design factors
1. Airport Traffic is a volatile traffic-Assumption2. Airport Master Plan & master plan study for
airport layout, feasibility plan3. Specific Devlopment Plan for immediate Future4. Construction Plan for Runway, Taxiway, Gates
and modification of existing terminal5. Details of the project plan for architectural and
engineering designs6. Assessment of the plan in every phase7. Determining the cost and financial planning
71
Factors for Improving an Existing Airport
1. Airport building should have architectural qualitty and Operational Success.2. should have to designed on the bassis of Structural and Passenger
loads/year3. As a Rule of Thumb, Twice the size of a building should be considered
based on annual traffic load including luggage.4. AirpConcept of Passenger Building as a Terminal as passengers use
airports as a transfer hub.5. Connecting the passenger facilities to the Apron and Aircraft either by a
Underground train or Overhead train like in London (Gatwick) or in Atlanta (Heartfield)
6. Renovating the terminal in the shape of X as in Hongkong7. Introducing Gate Arrival Concept for commuter traffic8. Means to minimise luggage transfer and passenger using airport as a
transit9. Minimise the distance to passenger for transit movement10. Multistorey Car Park
