Aircraft bridges must be designed to support the heaviest aircraft that may cross them, or that will cross them in the future. In 1963, a taxiway bridge at O'Hare International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, was planned to handle future aircraft weighing 365,000 pounds (166,000 kg), but aircraft weights doubled within two years of its construction.

Runway Holding Position Markings These show where an aircraft should stop when approaching a runway from a taxiway. They consist of four yellow lines, two solid and two dashed, spaced six or twelve inches (15 or 30 cm) apart, and extending across the width of the taxiway or runway. The solid lines are always on the side where the aircraft is to ...
[1] [2] [3] Although the use of the apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on vehicles, it is typically more accessible to users than the runway or taxiway. However, the apron is not usually open to the general public, and a permit may be required to gain access. An apron's designated areas for aircraft parking are called aircraft ...
For rigid pavements, design the pavement to resist a standard flexural stress of 2.75 MPa at the bottom of the cement concrete layer according to the LEA design procedure Calculate the single wheel load with a tire pressure of 1.50 MPa that would require the same pavement structural cross-section, this is the Derived Single Wheel Load (DSWL)
A flight path parallel to and in the direction of the landing runway. It is offset from the runway and opposite the downwind leg. Crosswind leg. A short climbing flight path at right angles to the departure end of the runway. Downwind leg. A long level flight path parallel to but in the opposite direction of the landing runway.

Runway confusion is when a single aircraft uses the wrong runway, or a taxiway, for takeoff or landing. [7] Runway confusions are considered a subset of runway incursions. Three major factors that increase the risk of runway confusion include airport complexity, close proximity of runway thresholds, and joint use of a runway as a taxiway. [8]
Airbus jet airliners taxiing at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport A privately owned Sea Vixen taxis back from an air show flight, with wings folding as it moves.. Taxiing (rarely spelled taxying) [1] is the movement of an aircraft on the ground, under its own power, in contrast to towing or pushback where the aircraft is moved by a tug.
