GROUND MANEUVERING
4.1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section provides the aircraft turning capability and maneuvering characteristics. To facilitate the
presentation, data have been determined from theoretical limits imposed by the geometry of the aircraft.
As such, they reflect the turning capability of the aircraft in favorable operating circumstances. These
data should be used only as a guideline for the method of determining such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of the aircraft.
In the ground operating mode, varying airline practices may demand that more conservative turning
procedures be adopted, to avoid excessive tire wear and reduce possible maintenance problems.
Variations from standard aircraft operating patterns may be necessary to satisfy physical constraints
within the maneuvering area, such as adverse grades, limited area, or high risk of jet blast damage. For
these reasons, the ground maneuvering requirements should be coordinated with the airline before the
layout is planned.
This section is presented as follows:
The performance of the aircraft on runway-to-taxiway, taxiway-to-taxiway and runway holding bay
dimensions.
The pilots visibility from the cockpit and the limits of ambinocular vision through the windows.
Ambinocular vision is defined as the total field of vision seen by both eyes at the same time.
4.2.
TURNING RADII
The turning radii for various nose landing gear steering angles. The minimum turning radius is
determined, considering the maximum nose landing gear steering angle as 76 degrees left and right.
Data on the minimum width of the pavement for a 180 degrees turn.

To determine the minimum dimensions for runway and taxiway where the aircraft can be operated, the
reference code of the aircraft must be determined.
The reference code of a specific aircraft is obtained in accordance with the Aerodrome Design and

This section presents the typical turnaround servicing time at an air terminal. The chart gives typical
schedules for servicing the aircraft within a given time.
The time of each service in the chart was calculated taking the following into consideration:
Servicing times could be rearranged to suit availability of personnel, aircraft configuration, and degree of
servicing required.
The data illustrates the general scope and tasks involving airport terminal operations. Airline particular
practices and operating experience will result in different sequences and intervals.

The air conditioning requirements for heating and cooling using ground conditioned air. The curves
show airflow requirements to heat or cool the aircraft at ambient conditions within a given time.
The air conditioning heating and cooling requirements to maintain a constant cabin air temperature
using low-pressure conditioned air. This conditioned air is supplied through a ground air connection
directly to the passenger cabin, bypassing the air cycle machines.

6.2.
Aircraft noise is a major concern for the airport and community planner. The airport is a basic element in
the communitys transportation system and, thus, is vital to its growth. However, the airport must also be
a good neighbor, and this can only be accomplished with proper planning. Since aircraft noise extends
beyond the boundaries of the airport, it is vital to consider the noise impact on the surrounding
communities.
Many means have been devised to provide the planner with a tool to estimate the impact of airport
operations. Too often they oversimplify noise to the point where the results become erroneous. Noise is
not a simple matter; therefore, there are no simple answers.
The cumulative noise contour is an effective tool. However, care must be exercised to ensure that the
contours, used correctly, estimate the noise resulting from aircraft operations conducted at an airport.
The size and shape of the single-event contours, which are inputs into the cumulative noise contours,
are dependent upon numerous factors. They include operational factors (aircraft weight, engine power
setting, airport altitude), atmospheric conditions (wind, temperature, relative humidity, surface condition),
and terrain.
6.2.1.
The aircraft comply with the Stage 3 / Chapter 3 noise limits set forth in 14 CFR Part 36, ICAO Annex 16,
Volume 1, Chapter 3, Amendment 7 and CTA RBHA 36.
6.2.2.
The ramp noise will not exceed 80 dBA (maximum) and 77 dBA (average) on the rectangular perimeter
of 20 m (65 ft 7 in) from the aircraft centerline, nose and tail, 90 dBA on the service positions and 80 dBA
on the passenger entrance positions resulting from operation of the APU (if fitted), ECS, equipment
cooling fans and vent fans, in any combination.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, maximum design ramp loads, and tire
sizes and pressures.
The maximum pavement loads for certain critical conditions at the tire-ground interfaces.
The flexible pavement curves prepared in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers Design
Method and the LCN Method.
The rigid pavement design curves in accordance with the Portland Cement Association Design
Method and the LCN Method.
A chart in order to determine the loads throughout the stability limits of the aircraft at rest on the
pavement. Pavement requirements for commercial aircraft are customarily derived from the static
analysis of loads imposed on the main landing gear struts. These main landing gear loads are used
to enter the pavement design charts which follow, interpolating load values where necessary.

This method has a chart that has been prepared with the use of the Westergaard Equation in general
accordance with the procedures outlined in the 1955 edition of Design of Concrete Airport Pavement
published by the Portland Cement Association, 33 W. Grand Ave., Chicago 10, Illinois, but modified to
the new format described in the 1968 Portland Cement Association publication, Computer Program for
Concrete Airport Pavement Design by Robert G. Packard. The following procedure is used to develop
rigid pavement design curves such as those shown in the chart:
Once the scale for the pavement thickness to the left and the scale for allowable working stress to the
right have been established, an arbitrary load line is drawn representing the main landing gear
maximum weight to be shown.

This LCN Method presents curves for rigid pavements. They have been built using procedures and
curves in ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3 - Pavements, Document 9157-AN/901, 1983. The
same chart includes the data of equivalent single-wheel load versus radius of relative stiffness.
To determine the aircraft weight that can be accommodated on a particular rigid airport pavement, both
the LCN of the pavement and the radius of relative stiffness must be known.
The radius of relative stiffness values is obtained from a table. This table presents the radius of relative
stiffness values based on Youngs modulus (E) of 4,000,000 psi and Poissons ratio () of 0.15.
For convenience in finding this radius based on other values of E and , the curves are included. For
example, to find an RRS value based on an E of 3,000,000 psi, the E factor of 0.931 is multiplied by
the RRS value found in figure 7.6.3. The effect of the variations of on the RRS value is treated in a
similar manner.

The ACN/PCN system as referenced in Amendment 35 to ICAO Annex 14, Aerodromes, provides a
standardized international aircraft/pavement rating system.
The PCN is an index rating of the mass that according to evaluation can be borne by the pavement
when applied by a standard single wheel. The ACN is established for the particular pavement type and
subgrade category of the rated pavement, as well as for the particular aircraft mass and characteristics.
An aircraft shall have an ACN equal to or less than the PCN to operate without restriction on the
pavement.
The method of pavement evaluation is left up to the airport, and the results of such evaluation are
presented as follows:
SUBGRADE CATEGORY
A High
W No Limit
B Medium
X to 1.5 Mpa (217 psi)
C Low
Y to 1.0 Mpa (145 psi)
D Ultra Low
Z to 0.5 Mpa (73 psi)
Report example: PCN 80/R/B/X/T, where:
80 = PCN
R = Pavement Type: Rigid
B = Subgrade Category: Medium
X = Tire Pressure Category: Medium (limited to 1.5 Mpa)
T = Evaluation Method: Technical
