NOTES:
1
Source: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13, Change 9, Airport Design (September 2005).
Existing airfield design standards applicable to Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport based on approach category B and 90-foot wingspans.
Airport design standards specific to Gulfstream-V / Bombardier Global Express, and Q-400
Approximate runway length requirement for typical aircraft in the specified design group.
For airplane design group III serving airplanes with maximum certificated takeoff weights greater than 150,000 pounds, the standard runway width is 150
feet, the shoulder width is 25 feet, and the blast pad width is 200 feet.
10
Declared distances apply. RSA length available beyond declared stop end of runway.
11
Object Free Zone normally extends 200 feet beyond end of runway; additional length is required for runways with approach light systems.
12
13
14
Applies to runways with approach visibility minimums < mile. Height varies according to aircraft wingspan and increases 3 feet per 1,000 feet of airport
elevation.
15
Indicated dimensions for runways with approach visibility minimums < mile are for Category I instrument runways. Criteria for Category II and Category III
runways are more restrictive.
16
278 feet north (aircraft parking and building) and 300 feet south (terrain). Terrain restricts OFA beyond runway ends to less than standard width.
17
18
The width of the OFA beyond the runway ends is less than standard due to terrain.
19
20
Source: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5340-1J, Standards for Airport Markings (April 2005).
21
The FAA no longer has fixed-distance standards for the Building Restriction Line location. The indicated setback distances are based on providing 7:1
transitional slope clearance over a 35-foot building situated at the same base elevation as the adjacent runway and can be adjusted in accordance with local
conditions.
22
Actual Distance between the existing runway centerline and the nearest building structure (T-hangar units).
23
50 feet required for Airport Design Group (ADG) III. Taxiway width is greater than standard to provide adequate taxiway edge safety margin for the Q-400,
which has an undercarriage width of 33.2 feet.
24
Assumes same size airplane uses both the first taxiway/taxilane and the adjacent taxiway/taxilane. Distance can be reduced if secondary taxiway/taxilane is
limited to use only by smaller airplanes.
25
Dimensions provided are for the runway direction having the lowest approach minimums. Opposing runway direction may use a smaller RPZ.
26
Approach and departure RPZs are in effect due to the application of declared distances.
Modification of Standards:
The values obtained from the following equations may be used to show that a modification of standards will provide an acceptable level of safety.
a.
Taxiway centerline to parallel taxiway/taxilane centerline equals 1.2 times airplane wingspan plus 10 feet.
Taxiway centerline to fixed or movable object equals 0.7 times airplane wingspan plus 10 feet.
c.
Taxilane centerline to fixed or movable object equals 0.6 times airplane wingspan plus 10 feet.
