Runway take-off and landing length
requirements
Every aircraft manual contains runway length
requirements for take-off and landing. A series
of characteristic curves are provided for various
pressure altitudes (i.e. the airport location
above sea level), ambient temperature aircraft
weights, wind, runway gradient and conditions
etc. Figures 11.11 and 11.2 show typical data,
and the way in which the graphs are presented.

Manoeuvring geometry and clearances
Aircraft turn radii and clearances can influence
the design of taxiways, holding bays intersections
etc. as well as parking bays and manoeuvring
