Modification of Standards

Airport Standards: A Tiered Model

Highest Level

Maintains airport utility

Provides long term economic investment

Flexible: Accommodates changing demand

Lowest Level

Provides essential safety requirements

Applies restrictions: when, how, who

Not flexible: May only be valid for one point in time

Engineering Brief #75

Provides Taxiway Design Recommendations

Consider Runway Incursion Prevention While

Planning And DesigningAny Taxiway Changes

Use Recommendations To Remedy Hot Spots


10/15


Engineering Brief #75Key Points

Limit aircraft crossing active runways

Crossing taxiway within the last third of the runway

Maintain standard signage, marking, and lightingconfigurations

Use right-angle taxiway/ runway intersections (except highspeed exits)

Avoid wide expanses of pavement at runway entry

Limit the number of taxiways intersecting at one point

Avoid direct access from terminal ramps to runway High speed exit taxiways should not lead directly a runway

crossing

12/15


Airplane Design Groups

Fewer than today

12 categories today versus 9 proposed

Improves safety

Provides for economical long term investment

May increase near term costsMay require more Modification of Standards

Drivers for change

Regional, business, and micro jets

Technology trends


13/15


TERPS and Other Standards

Not Airport Standards

Developed to implement specific requirements

Related to, but not the same as airport standards

Part 77

Minimize discussion in new AC

Notification, analysis, and airspace protection of off-airport proposals

May affect airport clearance standards- eligibility

TERPS

Safety of flight standards only

Must be accommodated by Airport Standards

Airport standards need (must have) agreement from Flight Standards
