9.1. Consider a single runway airport whose most demanding aircraft are in FAA approach category D and airplane design Group V. It has a long linear passenger building running parallel to the runway, with contact stands on the side of the building facing the runway. There are 14 contact stands: 5 can accommodate the Boeing 747-400, 4 the Boeing 767-200ER and other Group IV aircraft, and 6 the Boeing 737-800 and other Group III air- craft. The nine stands for the larger aircraft are at the central part of the building and the other six at the two end parts (three on each end). Arriving aircraft park nose-in and are pushed back on departure. A vehicle road that is 13 ft (4 m) wide lies behind the aircraft stands followed by a taxilane that runs in parallel to the full length of the face of the pas- senger building. The taxilane provides sufficient space for the aircraft pushback maneuver. Beyond this taxilane, two full-length taxiways run parallel to the entire length of the run- way. They are located between the apron and the runway. Assume the runway is 11.200 ft (or 3400 m) long and is used in either direction, depending on prevailing winds, for both arrivals and departures. Aircraft not served at the contact stands are parked at remote stands in an apron area that does not affect the operation of the main apron next to the passenger building or the required distance between the main apron and the taxiways. Provide an ap- proximate layout plan for this airfield showing its key dimensions. Make sure to indicate the minimum linear frontage of the passenger terminal, the approximate dimensions of the main apron, the width of runways and taxiways, and the separations between the center- lines of the taxiways and adjacent runways, taxiways, taxilanes and fixed objects. Do not go into details such as the design of curved segments and fillets but indicate high-speed versus conventional exit taxiways and their approximate location. Feel free to work in the set of units you are most comfortable with.
