Map of Heathrow Airport showing the original proposed extension and third runway; T1 and T2 operations have since merged into the new T2 terminal. In January 2009, the then Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon announced that the UK government supported the expansion of Heathrow by building a third runway, 2,200 m (7,218 ft) long serving a new passenger terminal, a hub for public and private ...
TLS is an active surveillance and tracking system and its approach procedures are configured in software vs. being dependent on physical antenna locations, so its siting criteria are flexible and the entire system can be collocated on a small footprint adjacent to the runway threshold and operates on a single power supply.
In aviation, the term elevation or aerodrome elevation is defined by the ICAO as the highest point of the landing area. It is often measured in feet and can be found in approach charts of the aerodrome. It is not to be confused with terms such as the altitude or height.

The airport is at an elevation of 58 feet (18 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 08/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,000 by 45 metres (9,843 ft × 148 ft). [21] The Pavement Classification Number for the runway is 058FBXT. [21]
The obstacle-free zone (OFZ) is a 3D volume of airspace below 150 feet (46 m), above the established airport elevation which protects for the transition of aircraft to and from the runway. The Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) clearing standard precludes taxiing and parked airplanes and object penetrations, except for frangible navigation aid ( NAVAID ...
This is a list of the world's highest civilian airports, situated at a minimum elevation of 2,500 m (8,202 ft) above mean sea level. Airport name City or region served
Elevation should most commonly be displayed in both meters and international feet, with metric elevation displayed first for most areas, but elevation in feet displayed first for Liberia, the United States, or a U.S. territory. [a] The International System of Units symbol "m" is usually preferred to either "meters" or "metres" spelled out. Feet ...
Flight management system – A flight management system (FMS) is a fundamental component of a modern airliner's avionics. An FMS is a specialized computer system that automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, reducing the workload on the flight crew to the point that modern civilian aircraft no longer carry flight engineers or navigators. A ...
