Compute this distance by
multiplying 0.5 x the wingspan of
the most demanding aircraft that
will use the apron, and add the
appropriate wing tip clearance
required by item 5 or 6. Then
subtract the distance from the
taxilane centerline to the apron
boundary marking to find the
required clear distance.
This distance to be clear of all
fixed and mobile obstacles except
as specifically noted in
Attachment 14.
Notes:
1. Light poles are not allowed
within this distance without
waiver.
2. Implement operational
controls to ensure that aircraft
larger than the design aircraft do
not use the apron without wing-
walkers.
3. Submit a revised summary of
airfield restrictions to allow
update to the AMC Airfield
Suitability and Restrictions
Report. Mail the revision to:
HQ AMC/DOAS
