This document discusses various aspects of airport planning and design, including airport master plans, site selection factors like prevailing winds and zoning laws, runway orientation, numbering and length requirements, taxiways, and visual aids for pilots. It provides details on elements that must be addressed in an airport plan like terminals, lighting, and air traffic control.

• Airport master plan
refers to planner’s
idealized concept of the

oriented in the
direction of prevailing
wind

17. Basic runway length
• Normal landing condition
• Normal take off condition
• Engine failure condition

19. Normal takeoff condition

21. Taxiway
• A taxiway is a path for
aircraft at an airport
connecting runways
with aprons, hangars,
terminals and other
facilities

24. Visual aids
• These are certain
landmarks which act as
landmarks for pilots to
perform landing and
takeoff safely
• These are required in
both day and night ,
bad and good weather
