Front 1

The length of the runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an airplane taking off.

Back 1

Takeoff Run Available(TORA)

Front 2

LDA or Tora plus a stopway.

Back 2

Emergency Distance Available(EMDA)

Front 3

The length of the takeoff run available plus the length of the clearway, if clearway is provided.

Back 3

Takeoff Distance Available(TODA)

Front 4

The length of the takeoff run available plus the length of the stopway, if stopway is provided.

Back 4

Accelerate-Stop Distance Available(ASDA)

Front 5

The length of the runway that is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an airplane landing.

Back 5

Landing Distance Available(LDA)

Front 6

Defined as a rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and takeoff of aircraft.

Back 6

Runway

Front 7

Maybe a man made surface asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both or a natural surface grass, dirt and gravel.

Front 14

Length of runway 13/31

Back 14

2,367 meters or 7,766ft

Front 15

Surface fron threshold to threshold which typically features threshold markings, numbers, and centerlines, but not overrun areas at both ends.

Back 15

Runway

Front 16

Cleared, smoothed and graded area around the paved runway.

Back 16

Runway safety area

Front 17

It is kept free from any obstacles that might impede flight or ground roll of aircraft.

Back 17

Runway safety area

Front 18

Used for taxiing, takeoff, and landing rollout, but not for touchdown.

Back 18

Displaced Thresholds

Front 19

Often exists because obstacles just before the runway, runway strength, or noise restrictions may make the beginning section of runway unsuitable for landings.

Back 19

Displaced Thresholds

Front 20

It is marked with white paint arrows that lead up to the beginning of the landing portion of the runway.

Back 20

Displaced Thresholds

Front 21

Constructed at the end of the runways as emergency space to slowly stop a planes that overrun the runways on landing gone wrong, or to slowly stop a plane on a rejected takeoff or a takeoff gone wrong.

Back 21

Overrun areas

Front 22

Known as overrun areas or stopways, are often constructed just before the start of a runway where jet blast produced by large planea during the takeoff roll could otherwise erode the ground and eventually damage the runway.

Back 24

Runway Markings

Front 25

Identifies the beginning of the runway which is available for landing.

Back 25

Threshold Markings

Front 26

Serves as a visual _____ for a landing aircraft.

Back 26

Aiming point markings

Front 27

It is a broken white stripe which indicates the center of the runway and provides alignment guidance for aircraft.

Back 27

Center line Markings

Front 28

It is provide in the _______ it consists of rectangular pair marking placed symmetrically about the runway center line.

Back 28

Touch down zone Markings

Front 29

Usually provide to clear the obstructions in the flight path.

Back 29

Threshold Markings

Front 30

Consist of a pattern of longitudinal stripes of uniform dimension placed symmetrically about the center line of the runway.

Back 30

Threshold Markings

Front 31

Types of Runways

Back 31

Visual RunwaysNon precision instrument runwaysPrecision instrument runways

Front 32

Provide both horizontal and vertical threshold, one on each side.

Back 32

Precision Instrument Runways

Front 33

They provide horizontal positions guidance to planes on instrument approach via non-directional beacon, VHF omnidirectional range.

Back 33

Non-precision instrument runways

Front 34

Found at medium and large size airportds, consist of a blast pad/stopway and touch down zone marks.

Back 34

Precision Instrument Runways

Front 35

Often used at small-to medium-sized airports.

Back 35

Non-precision instrument runways

Front 36

Used at small airstrips and are usually just a strip of grass, gravel, ice asphalt, or concrete.

Back 36

Visual Runways

Front 37

These two rectangular Markings consist of a broad white stripe located on each side of the runway centerline.

Back 37
