Declared Distances (in meters)
| Runway | TORA | ASDA | TODA | LDA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 2,714 | 2,714 | 3,002 | 2,714 |
| 33 | 2,714 | 2,714 | 3,001 | 2,714 |
TORA: Take-Off Run Available | ASDA: Accelerate-Stop Distance Available | TODA: Take-Off Distance Available | LDA: Landing Distance Available
Operational Considerations
- Runway end lighting present
- Retractable obstacles located 450m from both runway ends
- Magnetic declination: 1°E (2005 data)
Pavement Classification (PCN)
The runway's load-bearing capacity is rated as:
- PCN-50/F/B/X/U and PCN-30/F/B/X/U
- F: Flexible pavement
- B: Medium subgrade strength
- X: High tire pressure permitted
- U: Evaluation method (using experience)
Historical Updates
Notable changes include the March 12, 2009 removal of stopways and subsequent updates to declared distances.
This analysis provides essential operational data for ENOL Airport, though pilots should always consult current AIP documentation for flight planning. The systematic presentation of runway specifications demonstrates how data analytics can transform technical information into actionable aviation intelligence.
