Airport CharacteristicsAirport CharacteristicsObjective:– To provide background and an overview on
the diversity of airport characteristicsTopics:– Discussion of geometric characteristics of
major airports– Introduce useful background and terminology– Critical aspects of airport layouts– Some international comparisons

Airport Physical LayoutsAirport Physical Layouts
Airport layouts exhibit enormous variability (general layout, no. of runways, geometric configuration of runways, length of runways, location and configuration of terminal facilities)Range from very simple to complex geometriesArea occupied is only mildly correlated with traffic volumesLayouts are greatly influenced by historical and local factors

Designation of RunwaysDesignation of RunwaysRunways are identified by a two-digit number, which indicates the magnetic azimuth of the runway in the direction of operations to the nearest 10ºWhen parallel runways are involved the indication R (“right”), L (“left”) and, with three runways, C (“center”) is also used (e.g., Runway 22R)Note that 22R is 04L in the opposite directionWith 4-6 runways, one pair is marked to the nearest 10º and the other to the next nearest 10º

Wind Coverage (ICAO)Wind Coverage (ICAO)
For operations on any given runway, crosswinds should not exceed:– 37 km/h (20 knots) for aircraft whose reference
field length is 1500 m or more, except with poor braking action, when the limit is 24 km/h (13 knots)
– 24 km/h (13 knots) for ref. field length between 1200 m and 1,499 m
– 19 km/h (10.5 knots) for ref field length of less than 1,200 m
Crosswind coverage (or “airport usability factor”) should be at least 95%

Factors Affecting Airport Area RequirementsFactors Affecting Airport Area Requirements
• Principal factors affecting airfield size are:– Airside capacity requirements: number and
configuration of runways and apron stands– Weather: no. and configuration of runways– Unused area: noise “buffer” or for future expansion– Types of aircraft and operations: runway, taxiway,
apron dimensions and separations– Location of passenger terminals and landside facilities
relative to runways• Terminal facilities and related landside space
typically take up only 5-20% of an airport’s total area

Generalizations: Major Airports...Generalizations: Major Airports...
U.S.: Large volumes of passengers and aircraft; overwhelmingly domestic; numerous regional non-jets, general aviation; small no. of pax/flight Europe: Fast-growing passenger volumes at major airports; primarily international; narrow-body airline jets still dominate; few g.a. flights; intermediate no. of pax/flightEast Asia/Pacific Rim: Fast-growing passenger volumes; strongest presence of wide-body jets; very few g.a. flights; large no. of pax/flight; numerous new low-fare carriers Diversity is enormous; understanding of local factors is essential.
