Description

Contains the FAA standards and recommendations for airport design. This draft substantially revises AC 150/5300-13 to incorporate all changes to that document as well as new standards and technical requirements. This AC introduces the Runway Design Code (RDC), the Runway Reference Code (RRC), and the Taxiway Design Group (TDG) concept for fillet design; expands the discussion on Declared Distances and the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ); establishes a minimum separation between non-intersecting runways; includes Runway Incursion Prevention geometry for new construction; consolidates many design tables into an interactive Runway Design Requirements Matrix; and adds hyperlinks to access other documents and move within this document.

We will incorporate the final version of Change 19 to the current Airport Design AC, AC 150/5300-13, into the final version of AC 150/5300-13A, which we plan to publish by September 31, 2012.
