- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Runway Surface and Gradient
Runway Surface and Gradient Runway conditions affect takeoff and landing performance. Typically, performance chart information assumes paved, level, smooth, and dry runway surfaces. Since no two runways are alike, the runway surface differs from one runway to another, as does ... runway gradient or slope. [Figure 11-15] Runway surfaces vary widely from one airport to another. The runway surface encountered may be concrete, asphalt, gravel, dirt, or grass. The runway surface for a specific airport is noted in the Chart…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Stop Bar Lights › New Lighting Technologies
Technologies A top priority of the FAA is to continue to enhance airport safety while maintaining airport capacity. Reducing runway incursions is a major component of this effort. Runway incursions develop quickly and without warning during routine traffic situations ... airport surface, leaving little time for corrective action. The Runway Status Lights (RWSL) System is designed to provide a direct indication to you that it is unsafe to enter a runway, cross a runway, or takeoff from or land…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Water on the Runway and Dynamic Hydroplaning
Water on the Runway and Dynamic Hydroplaning Water on the runways reduces the friction between the tires and the ground and can reduce braking effectiveness. The ability to brake can be completely lost when the tires are hydroplaning because ... layer of water separates the tires from the runway surface. This is also true of braking effectiveness when runways are covered in ice. When the runway is wet, the pilot may be confronted with dynamic hydroplaning. Dynamic hydroplaning…

component of the runway lighting system that is used to outline the edges of runways at night or during low visibility conditions. These lights are classified according to the intensity they are capable of producing. Runway end identifier lights (REIL ... pair of synchronized flashing lights, located laterally on each side of the runway threshold, providing rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a runway. Runway visibility value (RVV). The visibility determined for a particular runway by a transmissometer…

preflight planning, before descending to land and while taxiing, as needed. • Know airport signage. • Review NOTAM for information on runway/ taxiway closures and construction areas. • Request progressive taxi instructions from ATC when unsure of the taxi route. • Check for traffic ... before crossing any runway hold line and before entering a taxiway. • Turn on aircraft lights and the rotating beacon or strobe lights while taxing. • When landing, clear the active runway as soon as possible, then wait for taxi instructions before…

When a pilot is assigned a SID for departure refer to the airport entry in the TPP or the graphic ODP to obtain information on the takeoff obstacles. (c) The FAA redefined the initial climb area criteria that are used ... takeoff obstacle notes are published in a different manner and an additional minimums option is added for the departure. To ensure the pilot knows which evaluation was accomplished, the charting will be different by bolding certain headers and runway information…
