Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Wing Tip Clearance
C = S-(0.5*W_Span)-Z
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Clearance Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Separation Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Separation Distance between Taxiway and respective masses located in space by a definite distance.
Span of Wing - (Measured in Meter) - Span of wing given separation distance between aircraft stand taxi lane-to-object is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Wing Tip Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Tip Clearance that accounts for aircraft steering performance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Separation Distance: 64 Meter --> 64 Meter No Conversion Required
Span of Wing: 85 Meter --> 85 Meter No Conversion Required
Wing Tip Clearance: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = S-(0.5*W_Span)-Z --> 64-(0.5*85)-5

Evaluating ... ...

C = 16.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16.5 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

16.5 Meter <-- Clearance Distance

< Taxiway Width Calculators

Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width

Go Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2

Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span given Taxiway Width

Go Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span = Taxiway Width-(2*Clearance Distance)

Taxiway Width

Go Taxiway Width = Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span+2*Clearance Distance

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway

Go Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span)

Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object Formula

Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Wing Tip Clearance
C = S-(0.5*W_Span)-Z

What is the function of Taxiway?

The functions of the Taxiway are to: Provide for aircraft to travel to and from runways to other areas of the airport in an expeditious manner. The system of taxiway is a decisive influence on the capacity of the runway system, and thereby also the overall capacity of the aerodrome.

How to Calculate Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object?

Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object calculator uses Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Wing Tip Clearance to calculate the Clearance Distance, Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object is defined as maximum allowable lateral deviation. Clearance Distance is denoted by C symbol.

How to calculate Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object, enter Separation Distance (S), Span of Wing (W_Span) & Wing Tip Clearance (Z) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object calculation can be explained with given input values -> 16.5 = 64-(0.5*85)-5.

FAQ

What is Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object?

Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object is defined as maximum allowable lateral deviation and is represented as C = S-(0.5*W_Span)-Z or Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Wing Tip Clearance. Separation Distance between Taxiway and respective masses located in space by a definite distance, Span of wing given separation distance between aircraft stand taxi lane-to-object is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip & Wing Tip Clearance that accounts for aircraft steering performance.
