aircraft-specific, such as haul length, or fuel capacity or passenger capacity can all affect runway length requirements. The mean maximum daily temperature of the hottest month for Mesquite Metro Airport is 96 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The airport elevation is 447 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The maximum elevation difference for Runway 17-35 is four feet. Runway 17-35 has a longitudinal gradient of 0.06 percent. For aircraft in approach categories A 3-15 and B, the runway longitudinal gradient cannot exceed two percent. For aircraft in approach categories C and D, the maximum allowable longitudinal runway grade is 1.5 percent. Table 3G outlines the runway length requirements for various classifications of aircraft that utilize Mesquite Metro Airport. These standards were derived from the FAA Airport Design Computer Program for recommended runway lengths. TABLE 3G Runway Length Requirements Mesquite Metro Airport AIRPORT AND RUNWAY DATA Airport elevation 447 feet Mean daily maximum temperature of the hottest month 96.00 F. Maximum difference in runway centerline elevation 4 feet Length of haul for airplanes of more than 60,000 pounds 1,400 miles Dry runways RUNWAY LENGTHS RECOMMENDED FOR AIRPORT DESIGN Small airplanes with less than 10 passenger seats 75 percent of these small airplanes 2,700 feet 95 percent of these small airplanes 3,300 feet 100 percent of these small airplanes 3,900 feet Small airplanes with 10 or more passenger seats 4,500 feet Large airplanes of 60,000 pounds or less 75 percent of business jets at 60 percent useful load 4,900 feet 75 percent of business jets at 90 percent useful load 7,300 feet 100 percent of business jets at 60 percent useful load 5,900 feet 100 percent of business jets at 90 percent useful load 9,400 feet Airplanes of more than 60,000 pounds 6,900 feet Source: FAA Airport Design Computer Program utilizing Chapter Two of AC 150/5325-4A, Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design. According to the FAA design program, to accommodate 75 percent of business jet aircraft at 60 percent useful load, the runway length should be at least 4,900 feet. To accommodate 100 percent of business jets at 60 percent useful load, the runway should be 5,900 feet long. In late 2004, the FAA released a draft update to Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5325-4B, Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design. The updated AC identifies those aircraft that were used in calculating the lengths required in Table 3G. For example, the “75 percent fleet at 60 percent useful load” provides a runway length sufficient to satisfy the operational requirements of approximately 75 percent of the fleet at 60 percent useful load. The AC also
provides direction on runway length for aircraft operating at 90 percent useful load. Paragraph 306 of the AC recognizes that general aviation airports are being used more frequently by business jets. General aviation (GA) airports “that receive regular use by large airplanes over 12,500 pounds, in addition to business jets, should provide a runway length comparable to non-GA airports. That is, the extension of an existing runway can be justified at an existing GA airport that has a need to accommodate heavier airplanes on a frequent basis.” This is the exact 3-16 scenario that is currently taking place at Mesquite Metro Airport, and thus, needs to be planned for. The top half of Table 3H presents the list of those aircraft which make up the 75 percent of the active business jet fleet category. The bottom half, presented in Table 3H, represents the aircraft used for the 100 percent category in Table 3G. Those aircraft that fall in the remaining 25 percent, make up 100 percent of the active business jet category, utilize the airport on an infrequent basis, but are likely to use the airport more frequently in the short term.
