Airport#Con@iguration#

  Airport configuration is defined as the number


and orientation of runways and the location of
the terminal area relative to the runways.
  Number of runways depends on air traffic
volume.
  Orientation of runways depends on the
direction of wind, size and shape of the area
Airport#Con@iguration# and land use and airspace use restrictions in
the vicinity of airport.
  The terminal building should be located so as
to provide easy and timely access to runways.
Airport#Con@iguration# Flight#Operation#Rules#

  Many runway configurations exist  Aircrafts operate under two basic types of flight rules
 Visual Flight Rules
  Most are combinations of these basic !  These rules apply when weather conditions are such that aircrafts can

!  Aircrafts are allowed to fly under “see and be seen principle”

!  Parallel Runways only when there is need. (Passive Control)
o  Two parallel runways  Instrument Flight Rules
o  Two parallel runways with staggered thresholds !  These rules apply when visibility falls below the minimum level fixed
o  Four parallel runways for VFR operations.
!  In IFR conditions, safer separation is the responsibility of air traffic
!  Intersecting runways control personnel.
!  Open-V Runways !  In other words air traffic controllers exercise positive control when IFR
apply.

1290 m) and far (>1290 m)
  When the spacing is far, under IFR, the two
runways can be operated independently.

Two#Parallel#Runways# Capacity#of#Two#Parallel#Runways#

 On closely spaced runways, under VFR, simultaneous


arrivals and departures can be allowed; i.e., arrivals
can occur on one runway while departures are
occurring on the other runway.
 Simultaneous arrivals to both runways or simultaneous
departures from both runways can not be allowed on
closely spaced runways under VFR conditions.
 Intermediate and far parallel runways, under VFR
conditions, may be operated independently; i.e.
simultaneous arrivals to both runways or simultaneous
departures from both runways can be allowed.
Staggered#Parallel#Runways# Four#Parallel#Runways#
  Four parallel runways are planned to take care of high
demand and when the winds are predominantly blowing
along the runways.
  In the case of four parallel runways, the runways are paired.
Within the pair the runways are spaced closely, but the pair
is spaced far apart.
  The staggering may be necessary because of the shape of the area   Terminal building is located between the pairs.
  When the terminal building is located in between the two runways   The desirable mode of operation is to dedicate the outer
and when one runway is exclusively used for take off and the other runways for arrivals and inner runways for departures.
for landing, the taxiing distance for arriving and departing aircrafts
becomes minimum.
  Adjustment to separation clearance is allowed for simultaneous
arrivals and departures.

Intersecting#Runways# Capacity#of#Intersecting#Runways#

 It becomes necessary to use this configuration when


winds are blowing in more than one direction.
 When the winds are light both runways can be used.
 When the winds are strong only one runway can be
used.
 Capacity depends on the location of the intersection
point and the runway-use-strategy.
 The farther the intersection is from the takeoff end of
the runway and the landing threshold, the lower is the
capacity.
 Highest capacity is achieved when the intersection is
close to the takeoff end and the landing threshold.
Open:V#Runways# Capacity#of#Open:V#Runways#

! Runways in divergent directions which do not


intersect are referred to as open-V runways.
! When the winds are blowing in different
directions, if the layout of the land permits, this
configuration is preferred to intersecting
runways.
! Both the runways can be operated only when
the winds are light.

capacity.
