Design of Airports Question 1:
According to FAA guidelines the runway length is to be increased at a rate of 20% for
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Correction for basic Runway length (l)
i) Elevation correction
For every 300-meter rise above MSL, the length will be increased by 7%
Corrected length \(\Rightarrow {{\rm{l}}_1} = {\rm{l}} + \left( {\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{300}} \times \frac{7}{{100}}} \right) \times {\rm{l}}\)
ii) Temperature correction
Airport reference Temperature (ART)
\({\rm{T}} = {{\rm{T}}_{\rm{a}}} + \frac{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{m}}} - {{\rm{T}}_{\rm{a}}}}}{3}\)
Tm → monthly mean of maximum daily temp of hottest month
Ta → monthly mean of average daily temp of hottest month
For energy 1°C rise of ART above (SATx i.e. Standard Airport Temperature) length will be increased by 1%
Corrected length \( \Rightarrow {{\rm{l}}_2} = {{\rm{l}}_1} + \left( {\frac{{{\rm{\Delta T}}}}{{100}}} \right){{\rm{l}}_1}\)
Note: As per ICAO, the cumulative connection for elevation and temperature together should not be ≯ 35%.
Cumulative (%) correction \(= \frac{{{{\rm{l}}_2} - {{\rm{l}}_1}}}{{\rm{l}}} \times 100 \not > 35\% \)
If exceeds modify, l2 = 1.35 × l
iii) Gradient correction
For every 1% effective gradient, runway length will be increased by 20%
\({\rm{Final\;length\;}}\left( {{{\rm{l}}_3}} \right) = {{\rm{l}}_2} + \left( {20 \times \frac{{{{\rm{G}}_{{\rm{effective}}}}}}{{100}}{\rm{\% }}} \right){{\rm{l}}_2}\)
\({{\rm{G}}_{{\rm{effective}}}}\left( {\rm{\% }} \right) = \frac{{{\rm{R}}{{\rm{L}}_{{\rm{highest\;point}}}} - {\rm{R}}{{\rm{L}}_{{\rm{lower\;point}}}}}}{{{\rm{Runway\;unit\;}}\left( {{{\rm{l}}_2}} \right)}}\).
Design of Airports Question 2:
Match the List – I (Airport Terminologies) with the List – II (Suitable Location/Alignment/Limitation) and select the most appropriate option.
List – I |
List – II |
P. Cross Wind |
1. Perpendicularly to runway |
Q. Wind Rose |
2. Runway capacity |
R. Head Wind |
3. Should be less than 25 kmph |
S. Wind Cover |
4. Parallel to runway |
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 2 Detailed Solution
Head wind: The runway is oriented in the direction of the prevailing winds. It helps in the landing of vehicle by causing breaking effect and during takeoff, it provides grater lift on wings of the aircraft.
Cross Wind: Component of wind perpendicular to runway. It abrupts the landing and takeoff of aircraft.
Wind Cover: The percentage of time in a year during which the cross-wind component of wind is within permissible limit of 25 kmph.
Wind Rose: It is a graphical representation of direction, intensity & duration of wind is called wind rose. The name of diagram is wind rose because of its irregular shape resembling a rose.
The study of wind rose helps in determining the most suitable orientation of runway and useful device for estimating the runway capacity.
Wind rose diagram are of two types:
Type I - Wind rose (direction and duration of wind) and Type II - Wind rose (direction, duration & intensity of wind).Design of Airports Question 3:
What is the airport reference temperature, if the monthly mean of average daily temperature for the hottest month of a study year = 24°C and the monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature for the same month of the same year = 30°C
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 3 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The airport reference temperature is calculated using the following formula:
\(ART= T_a + \frac{T_m - T_a}{3}\)
Here,
Ta is the monthly mean of the average daily temperature for the hottest month of the year
Tm is the monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature for the same month of the same year
Given that
Ta = 240 C and Tm = 300 C
Substitute these values in the given formula:
\(ART= 24 + \frac{30 - 24}{3}\)
ART = 24 + 2 = 260 C
Additional Information
Procedure to find Ta
Step 1: Select any month for a given year.
Step 2: Evaluate the average daily temperature variation for a day and this will be called the daily average temperature for that day. This procedure is repeated for all the other days of that month.
Step 3: Evaluate the month's mean temperature as;
\(\text{Mean monthly temp.} = \frac{\text{ summation of average daily temperature of all the days in the month }}{\text{total number of days in that month}}\)
Step 4: Repeat the above procedure (Step 2 and Step 3) for all other months of the year. The hottest month is that which has the maximum monthly mean temperature and that will be called Ta.
Design of Airports Question 4:
For the hottest month of the year at the proposed airport site, the monthly mean of the average daily temperature is 390C. The monthly of the maximum daily temperature is 480C for the same month of the year. From the given information, the calculated Airport Reference Temperature (in 0C), is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Airport reference temperature \(={{T}_{a}}+\frac{1}{3}\left( {{T}_{m}}-{{T}_{a}} \right)\)
Where, Ta = Average temperature of the hottest month
Tm = Monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature of the same month
Calculation:
Given:
Tm = 48°C, Ta = 39°C
∴ Airport reference temperature \(=39+\frac{1}{3}\left( 48-39 \right)\)
= 42°C
Additional Information
Basic runway length is calculated with the following assumptions:
i) It is calculated at Mean sea level (MSL)
ii) It is calculated for standard temp 15°C at MSL.
iii) The gradient is assumed to be zero.
Due to the variance of these assumptions, some corrections are applied.
i) Elevation Correction: 7% increase in basic runway length for every 300 m rise above MSL
ii) Temperature correction: 1% increase for every 1°C rise in airport reference temperature with respect to standard temperature at elevation.
Where,
Standard temperature at elevation = Temperature at MSL – 0.0065 × Elevation
This increase is made on the already corrected runway length for elevation.
iii) Gradient correction: 20% increase for 1% of effective gradient.
- These corrections are always applied sequentially and on the already corrected runway length value.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The basic runway length is determined in three cases
- Normal landing case - Aircraft should stop within 60% of landing distance or runway length
- Normal take-off case - minimum clearway width should be 150m and it is also kept free from obstructions.
- Engine failure case - In this case, basic runway length may consider either clearway or stop way or both.
Runway Capacity:
- The ability of a runway system to accommodate aircraft landing and take-off. It is usually expressed in operation per hour or operation per year.
- The location of exit taxiways depends on the mix of aircraft, the approach and touchdown speeds, the point of touchdown, the exit speed, the rate of deceleration, which in turn depends on runway capacity and the condition of the pavement surface that is, dry or wet, and the number of exits.
The following items are to be considered in the geometric design of the runway.
- Runway length
- Runway width
- Width and length of safety area
- Transverse gradient
- Longitudinal and effective gradient
- Rate of change of longitudinal gradient
- Sight distance
Hanger
- It is the covered area for repair and servicing the aircraft.
- The hanger depends upon the size of the aircraft and turning radius.
- The number of hangers depends upon peak hour per volume of aircraft.
Design of Airports Question 6:
For an aircraft to take off from Patna airport, the required length of runway at sea level in standard atmospheric condition is 2500 m. The airport elevation is 600 m above the mean sea level and reference temperature is 18°C. If the standard atmospheric temperature for 600 m elevation is 8°C, then the length of the runway (in km) after applying elevation and temperature correction will be ____. (Up to two decimal places)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 3.13 - 3.14
Design of Airports Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Correction to runway take-off length
(i) Correction due to elevation \(= \frac{7}{{100}} \times 2500 \times \frac{{600}}{{300}}\)
Corrected length = 2500 + 350 = 2850 m
(ii) Correct for temperature
Rise of temperature = 18°C – 8°C = 10°C
Correction \(= \frac{1}{{100}} \times 2850 \times 10^\circ C = 285\)
Corrected length = 2850 + 285 = 3135 m = 3.135 km
Check
% correction = \(\frac{{3135{\rm{\;}}-{\rm{\;}}2500}}{{2500}} \times 100\) = 25.4% < 35% okDesign of Airports Question 7:
Determine the actual runway length in m after applying correction for temperature & elevation
Basis runway length = 1800 m
Airport site elevation = 600 m
Monthly mean daily average temperage = 15°c
Monthly mean maximum daily temperature = 30°cAnswer (Detailed Solution Below) 2234 - 2235
Design of Airports Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Correction for elevation
ICAO recommends that basic runway length should be increased at the rate of 7% per 300 m rise in elevation above mean sea level.
∴ Correction for elevation \( = \frac{7}{{100}} \times runway\;length \times \frac{{Airport\;elevation}}{{300}}\)
Correction for temperature
Rise in temperature = ART - SAT
Where,
ART is Atmospheric reference temperature
SAT Standard atmospheric Temperature
As per ICAO, Basic runway length after correction for elevation should be further increased at the rate of 1% for every 1° C rise of airport reference temperature
correction for temperature \(= Correctedlength \times \frac{1}{{100}} \times Rise\;in\;temperature\)
Calculation
Correction for elevation
7% increase for 300 m rise
So for 600 m rise = 7 × 2 = 14% increase
∴ Runway length after elevation correction.
= 1800 + 1800 × 0.14
= 2052 m
Temperature Correction
Airport Reference temperature
\({\rm{ART}} = {\rm{Ta}} + \frac{{{\rm{Tm}} - {\rm{Ta}}}}{3}\)
\(= 15 + \frac{{30 - 15}}{3} = 20^\circ {\rm{c}}\)
Standard temperature = 15 – 0.0065 × 600
= 11.10c [6.5°c fore 1000m]
DT = 20 – 11.1 = 8.9°c
∴ Corrected = 1% for 10c difference \(= \frac{{8.9}}{{100}} \times 2052 = 182.6{\rm{\;m}}\)
Corrected value = 2052 + 182.6
= 2234.6 m = 2235 m
∴ % increase in length \(= \frac{{2235 - 1800}}{{1800}} \times 100\% \;\)
= 24.16% < 35%Design of Airports Question 8:

1200 to 1600 |
+0.2 |
Calculate the effective gradient of the runway in percentage.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 0.34 - 0.35
Design of Airports Question 8 Detailed Solution
Chainage |
Elevation |
0 |
100.0 |
200 |
(100.0 + 0.01 × 200) = 102.0 |
600 |
(102.0 – 0.01 × 400) = 98.0 |
1200 |
(98.0 + 0.008 × 600) = 102.8 |
1600 |
(102.8 + 0.002 × 400) = 103.6 |
Maximum difference in elevation = (103.6 – 98.0) = 5.6 m
Total runway length = 1600 m
Effective gradient of runway \( = \frac{{5.6}}{{1600}} \times 100\) = 0.35%
Design of Airports Question 9:
Calculate the turning radius of the taxiway for an airport serving large subsonic jet planes. The design speed of turning is 60 kmph and assume friction coefficient between tyre and pavement surface as 0.15.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concepts:
For taxiway design, the turning radius is given as:
\(R = \frac{V^2}{125 f}\)
Where,
R is the radius of the curve in m,
V is the speed in km/hr and
f is the coefficient of friction between the tire and pavement surface
Further,
For airports serving large subsonic jet transports, the minimum value of the radius of curvature is 120 m and for supersonic transports, a minimum radius is 180 m.
Calculation:
Given: f = 0.15, V = 60 km/hr
The turning radius based on the above formula is calculated as:
\(R = \frac{60^2}{125 \times 0.15 }\)
R = 192 m
For subsonic transports, the minimum radius recommend is Rmin = 180 m
Therefore, the final design radius will be the maximum of the above two values i.e The radius for the taxiway is 192 m.
Design of Airports Question 10:
What shall be the radius of an exit taxiway with design exit speed of 90 kmph and coefficient of friction 0.13?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Design of Airports Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The radius of exit taxiway is given by,
\(R = \frac{{{V^2}}}{{125\;f}}\)
Where,
V = Design exit speed
f = Coefficient of friction
Calculation:
\(R = \frac{{{V^2}}}{{125\;f}}\)
\(\Rightarrow R = \frac{{{{90}^2}}}{{125 \times 0.13}}\)
⇒ R = 498.46 ≈ 500 m
