ICAO 9157 Part 1

Part 1 produces guidance on the geometric design of runways and the aerodrome elements normally associated with runways. It discusses runway configuration, runway length, aeroplane performance parameters affecting runway length, and planning to accommodate future aircraft.

In view of the vital function of runways in providing for safe and efficient aircraft landings and take-offs, it is imperative that their design take into account the operational and physical characteristics of the aeroplanes expected to use the runway, as well as engineering and economic considerations.

The aerodrome elements associated with runways which are directly related to the landing and take-off of aeroplanes are: runway strips, runway shoulders, stopways, clearways and runway end safety areas. This manual concerns the provision of runways and these associated elements and summarizes specifications and guidance material relating to their geometric design. Pavement strength design aspects are covered in the Aerodrome Design Manual (Doc 9157), Part 3 - Pavements.
