    Runway orientation is an important consideration in airport planning. The prevailing wind direction is typically used to determine runway orientation, as it allows aircraft to take off and land utilizing wind assistance. Multiple factors must be analyzed to determine the optimal runway orientation, including wind speed and direction data, terrain characteristics, and forecasted wind coverage. Common runway configurations include single, parallel, intersecting, and open-V layouts. Runway lighting and signs are also implemented to aid pilots in navigating and utilizing the runways safely.

    RUNWAY
     “Rectangular area on an aerodrome used for landing and take
    off “
     Runway orientation is important in airport planning

     Current practice is to layout a runway in the direction of

    prevailing wind – wind force can be utilized


     Direction of runway controls the layout of other

    facilities(passenger terminals, taxiways/aprons, circulation


    roads, parking etc)
    Data required
    1) Map or area and contours – for examining the flatness of the area
    and possible changes in longitudinal profile
    2) Wind data – direction, duration and intensity of wind
    Wind direction is variable and keeps on changing throughout the year. Wind
    data can be obtained for 5 to 10 years from the Meteorological department.
    Types of Wind:
     Head Wind: Wind blowing from opposite direction of head or nose of

    aircraft. It provides braking effect during landing and greater lift on wings
    during take-off. Thus length of runway gets decreased by 10%.
     Tail Wind: Wind which is blown in same direction as on aircraft. It

    increases stopping distance and lift-off distance. Dangerous too.


     Cross Wind: makes an angle with the direction of aircraft movement
    (VsinO). If this component is more then aircraft may not manoeuver safely.
    Generally it should not be more than 25kmph
    Wind components
     Wind Coverage: it is the % of time in a year during which
    the cross wind component remains within the limit.
     ICAO and FAA recommends minimum wind coverage of 95%

     Calm Period: it is the period in which the wind intensity


    remains below 6.4kmph
     Calm period = 100 – wind coverage
    WIND ROSE ANALYSIS
     An approach often used in determining the runway
    orientation
     Area is divided into 16 parts (22.5 degree each)
     2 methods are available
     Type -1 : based on Direction and Duration of wind
     Concentric circles indicate percentage duration of wind
     Radial lines indicate direction of wind
     Type-2 : based on Direction Duration and Intensity of wind
     Radial lines indicate direction of wind
     Concentric circles indicate intensity of wind
     Deviation upto 33 degree can be allowed

    RUNWAY
    CONFIGURATION
     FAA includes over 20 runway layouts
     Amongst them there are 4 basic runway patterns :
    1. Single runway
    2. Parallel runway
    3. Dual parallel runway
    4. intersecting runways
    5. open-v runways
    SINGLE RUNWAY: simplest of all
    • Capacity – 50 to 100 operations per hour
    PARALLEL RUNWAYS
    • Capacity depends on no. of
    runways and spacing b/w
    them
    • Based on spacing
    • Close
    • Intermediate
    • Far
    INTERSECTING RUNWAYS
    • Two or more runways that cross each other are classified as
    intersecting runways.
    • This type of runway is used when there are relatively strong
    prevailing winds from more than one direction during the
    year.
    • Capacity – 70 to 175 operations per hour
    OPEN-V RUNWAYS
    Runways diverging from different directions but do
    not intersect and form an open-V shape are ‘OPEN-V
    runways’

    RUNWAY LIGHTING

     These lights are used to assist pilot in to identify the runway


     GREEN THRESHOLD LIGHTS : Line the runway edge
     RED LIGHTS : Mark the end of runway
     BLUE LIGHTS : Run alongside taxiways
     While runways have YELLOW or WHITE lights marking their
    edges
    RUNWAY SIGNS

     Various kinds of runway signs are also used for


    facilitation
     They differ according to their purpose and action
