(Answer should be explained with sketches wherever applicable)

1. What do you mean by cross wind component? Write short note on basic runway length.

2. The total trips produced in and attracted to the three zones A, B and C of a survey area are
tabulated as:

Zone Trips Trips Zone Trips Trips

Produced Attracted Produced Attracted
A 2000 3000 C 4000 2000
B 3000 4000
Trips between two zones are having second power of travel time, which is uniformly 20minutes.
Calculate the trip interchange between zones (A and B); (A and C); (B and C).

3. What is wind coverage?

4. What is the difference between type I and Type II wind rose diagram?

5. The length of a runway under standard condition is 2100 m. The airport is to be provided at a
elevation of 230 m above the mean sea level. The data about the temperature is as follows.
Sum of mean daily temperature in the hottest month (May) = 15000C
Sum of maximum daily temperature during the above period = 12000C
The highest point on the runway has RL98.2 and lowest point on the runway has RL95.2.
Determine the corrected length of runway for the given conditions.
