- Contexto
- The code is not intended to be used for determining runway length or pavement strength requirements. The code is composed of two elements which are related to the aeroplane performance characteristics and dimensions. Element 1 is a number based on the aeroplane reference field length and element 2 is a letter based on the aeroplane wingspan and outer main gear wheel span. A particular specification is related to the more appropriate of the two elements of the code or to an appropriate combination of the two code elements.
- The code letter for Element 2 shall be determined from Table l-2, selecting the code letter which corresponds to the greatest wing span, or the greatest outer main gear wheel span, whichever gives the more demanding code letter, of the aeroplanes for which the facility is intended. For instance, if code letter C corresponds to the aeroplane with the greatest wing span and code letter D corresponds to the aeroplane with the greatest outer main gear wheel span, the code letter selected would be “D”.
