Runway System
The runway safety area is an area
which is cleared, drained. It includes
the structural pavement, shoulders and
blast pad. It must be capable of
supporting emergency and
maintenance equipment as well as
providing support for aircraft should be
veer off the pavement for one reason or
another. The minimum length of this
area required according to ICAO is 275
ft (~83m) beyond each end of the
runway. It can reach 1000 ft (300m)
depending on the type of Aircrafts

Runway Configuration

Most

combinations
of several basic

With subgrade CBR, gross weight, and total

input, the total pavement thickness required can be
read from the appropriate chart
