	Runway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Runway dimensions vary from as small as 800 feet (240 m) long and 25 feet (8 m) wide in smaller general aviation airports, to 16,000 feet (4,800 m) long and 300 feet (100 m) wide at large international airports built to accommodate large passenger jets.
		Runway dimensions are measured in feet in the United States and Canada, and meters are used elsewhere in the world.
		The active runway is the runway at an airport that is in current use for takeoffs and landings.

	John F. Kennedy Space Center - Landing the Space Shuttle Orbiter at KSC
		The runway is longer and wider than those found in most commercial airports, yet comparable in size to runways designed for research and development facilities.
		Although a single landing strip, it is considered two runways, depending on the approach: from either the northwest on Runway 15 or from the southeast on Runway 33.
		South of the midfield point east of the runway are the control tower, the orbiter recovery convoy staging area for the recovery team, a fire station and a viewing area for press and guests.

	Aviation Facilities
		Ordinarily, these runways are less than 2,440 meters [8,000 feet] long and have less than 10 percent of their operations that involve aircraft in the Class B category.
		Runway overruns keep the probability of serious damage to an aircraft to a minimum in the event the aircraft runs off the runway during a take-off or lands short during a landing.
		Runways are identified by the whole number nearest one-tenth (1/10) the magnetic azimuth of the runway centerline.

	Sea-Tac Airport: Third Runway FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The third runway will be most effective for arrivals, because of the extra time planes would take to taxi to the new runway for takeoffs.
		But the third runway could be used for departures for short periods when one of the other two runways is shut down for maintenance, or at the discretion of air traffic controllers and pilots.
		The existing second runway is closer to the airport terminal, so when weather allows, it will be preferable for both arrivals and departures in order to keep aircraft taxiing time to a minimum.

	MITRE CAASD \|\| Projects - 3-D Runway Surface Markings
		The increased conspicuity of these new markings might contribute to the reduction of runway incursions, which occur when aircraft on the ground that are holding, taxiing, landing or taking-off come in danger of colliding with other aircraft or vehicles.
		Runway holding position markings, commonly referred to as "runway hold lines" or "hold short lines," are one of several important aids that assist pilots and vehicle operators as they navigate on the airport surface.
		The failure to visually acquire a runway holding position marking early enough to avoid crossing or encroaching upon it is a known contributor to runway incursions.

		Two of these solutions prevent runway incursions by providing a direct warning to flight crews and are being considered by the FAA for functional and operational testing in an airport environment.
		One is a final approach runway occupancy signal that will flash the precision approach path lights to provide warnings to pilots on final approach when another vehicle is on the runway.
		Runway status lights would be used to warn pilots and other airport vehicle operators that it is unsafe to enter a runway.

		Braking deteriorated as the jet passed the halfway point of the runway, one of the pilots said.
		After a cargo jet skidded off a runway at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport in 1995, the NTSB found 11 airline accidents since 1982 blamed all or in part on snow or ice on the runways.
		The pilots said they had been told the runway was "fair," but their tires had almost no traction.

	Justices consider runway dispute
		An attorney for runway opponents, however, urged the nine justices to leave the restrictions in place and to make sure the runway doesn't destroy water quality in nearby creeks and an aquifer.
		The court is hearing an appeal by the port of half of 16 conditions the board imposed on runway construction.
		He told the justices that drainage from the runway will be used to keep the flows up, after the water is held and contaminants are allowed to settle out of it.

		The risk of being involved in a runway incursion can be greatly reduced by improving communication skills, knowledge of airport taxiways and runways, and cockpit procedures.
		Clear the runway first, once you have passed the holding position markings (hold lines), stop and ask ground control for directions.
		Cleared to land Runway 25L with controller advising "minimum time on the runway, faster traffic in trail." As we slowed to taxi speed, controller advised "Nice job, next high speed, stay with me." I mistakenly took this to mean he was clearing us across all runways and we crossed the parallel Runway 25R without clearance.

	Runway Incursions, Focusing on the Technology to Prevent Collisions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		When a suspected runway incursion occurs, it is the responsibility of the air traffic controller to report the incident to the FAA.
		The FAA investigates the situation and determines whether or not it was a runway incursion and who was responsible for the mistake.
		A 1991 "Runway Incursion Plan" was followed by a 1995 "Runway Incursion Action Plan," a 1998 Action Plan and, most recently, an October 2000 "Blueprint." The October 2000 "blueprint" for reducing incursions included approximately 50 recommended initiatives that are currently being implemented.

		The runway shoulders will be made of asphalt strong enough to support the wheels of the occasional taxiing aircraft but not stout enough to take the beating the main runway will absorb, said John Rothnie, the airfield program manager.
		Though the runway itself won’t be extraordinary, the huge fill necessary to bring the west side of the airport level with the existing runways will be.
		To accommodate the new runway, Weyerhaeuser Co. had to relocate its corporate hangar from the middle of thewest side of the airport to the south end, where the port has built a parking area for the few private aircraft that use Sea-Tac.

	Logan reports another incident on runways - The Boston Globe
		Just a week after local and federal aviation officials announced changes to improve runway safety at Logan International Airport, the airport recorded its 17th runway incident in the past 14 months, the most of any US airport, federal officials said yesterday.
		FAA investigators then reclassified the incident as a runway incursion, which federal safety standards define as any time an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground creates a collision hazard or any time aircraft taking off, landing, or intending to take off or land get too close to each other.
		But it continues a string of runway incursions that is one of the more perplexing in the nation.

	Project Runway demystifies high fashion. By Amanda Fortini
		"[T]his runway competition is as cutthroat as the fashion industry itself—one day you're in, and the next day you're out," she drones (pronouncing what has become her signature phrase, "You in oh you out").
		With each week's runway show, it becomes ever more apparent that while the denizens of the fashion industry may easily inhabit the world of reality television, runway fashion and reality are worlds apart.
		On the runway, everything is bigger or smaller or bolder or brighter: the outlandish outfits, the models with their transfixingly inhuman proportions.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| England \| Southern Counties \| Plan for Gatwick runway published
		The new runway would only go ahead at the West Sussex airport if a planned extra third runway at Heathrow failed to be developed by about 2015.
		West Sussex County Council called for the prospect of a second runway at Gatwick to be completely dropped, but people opposed to expansion at Stansted and Heathrow argued it was wrong for Gatwick not to be considered on the basis of an old agreement.
		The draft plan published on Tuesday features a second runway 1,130 yards south of the existing one and adds that a third passenger terminal "could and should be located between the runways".

	You know that third runway? Sea-Tac's really getting it
		The port, on the other hand, can free itself from the legal actions that have tied the runway up for nearly a decade and were threatening to tie it up even longer.
		The port has been planning and building parts of the runway since 1987, saying the new facility will reduce weather delays for flights that now must land single-file on one runway when sight distances are limited.
		The port resumed construction on the runway shortly after the May ruling, bringing in trucks to begin importing and repositioning 9.5 million cubic yards of fill dirt to complete the an embankment.
