Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span)
S = 0.5*(SW+WS)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Separation Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Separation Distance between Taxiway and respective masses located in space by a definite distance.
Strip Width - (Measured in Meter) - Strip Width considered of the runway. Runway Strip is the area surrounding runway that is suitable for reducing damage to aircraft in the event of Unintentional excursion from the runway surface.
Wing Span - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Span considered of the runway is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Strip Width: 83 Meter --> 83 Meter No Conversion Required
Wing Span: 45 Meter --> 45 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = 0.5*(SW+WS) --> 0.5*(83+45)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 64

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

64 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

64 Meter <-- Separation Distance

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 Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway?

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway calculator uses Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span) to calculate the Separation Distance, Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway is defined based on premise that any part of aircraft on taxiway centerline must not protrude into associated runway strip area. Separation Distance is denoted by S symbol.

How to calculate Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway, enter Strip Width (SW) & Wing Span (WS) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway calculation can be explained with given input values -> 64 = 0.5*(83+45).

FAQ

What is Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway?

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway is defined based on premise that any part of aircraft on taxiway centerline must not protrude into associated runway strip area and is represented as S = 0.5*(SW+WS) or Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span). Strip Width considered of the runway. Runway Strip is the area surrounding runway that is suitable for reducing damage to aircraft in the event of Unintentional excursion from the runway surface & Wing Span considered of the runway is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.

How to calculate Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway?

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway is defined based on premise that any part of aircraft on taxiway centerline must not protrude into associated runway strip area is calculated using Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span). To calculate Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway, you need Strip Width (SW) & Wing Span (WS). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Strip Width & Wing Span and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Separation Distance?

In this formula, Separation Distance uses Strip Width & Wing Span. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Separation Distance = Wing Span+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance
Separation Distance = (Span of Wing/2)+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance
Separation Distance = (Span of Wing/2)+Lateral Deviation+Wing Tip Clearance
