Q No 1: An airport is to be constructed in a location of 3000ft above
mean sea level with a maximum temperature of 80°F and an effective
gradient of 15%. Calculate the runway length. The runway length at
standard atmospheric condition is 5000ft.

Q NO 2: Calculate the runway length required for an aircraft whose

basic runway length at standard atmospheric condition is 6600ft. At a
place having following environment data.
Altitude above mean sea level= 4500ft
Airport reference temperature = 75°F
Effective gradient = 0.25%

Q No 3: Find out the design length of runway required if length under

standard atmospheric condition is 1500m. The elevation of site is
1100m above mean sea level. Airport reference temperature is 16°C.
maximum effective gradient may be taken as 0.5%.
