An airport is to be constructed at a site 190m above mean sea level and on a level ground. The runway length required under standard atmospheric condition at sea level for landing is considered as 2100m and for take-off as 1600m respectively. Determine the actual runway length to be provided at this airport site. Airport reference temperature may be considered as 21-degree C.
For an aircraft to take off from Sydney. airport, the required length of runway at sea level in standard atmospheric condition is 2500 m. The airport elevation is 600 m above the mean sea Level and reference temperature is 18°C. If the standard atmospheric temperature for 600 m elevation is 8°C, then the length of the runway (in km) after applying elevation and temperature correction will be (Up to two decimal places)
Determine the actual runway length after applying necessary corrections for elevation and temperature as per ICAO and gradient correction as per FAA specification for the data given below. (i) Basic runway length = 1800 metres (ii) Elevation of airport site = 600 metres (iii) Monthly mean of average daily temperature for the hottest month of the year = 15°C (iv) Monthly mean of maximum daily temperature for the same month = 21.6°C (v) Effective gradient = 0.6%

Length of runway under standard conditions is 1620 m. The airport site has an elevation of 270 m. It is reference temperature is 32.90°C. If the runway is to be constructed with effective gradient of 0.2%. Then determine the corrected runway length
Question-7, A runway is being constructed in a new airport as per the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommendations. The elevation and the airport reference temperature of this airport are 535 m above the mean sea level and 22.65 °C, respectively. Consider the effective gradient of runway as 1%. The length of runway required for a design-aircraft under the standard conditions is 2000 m. Within the framework of applying sequential corrections as per the ICAO recommendations, find the length of runway corrected for the temperature.
