6.13.9. Turning Radius. The turning radius on the alert pad taxilanes will be designed to provide
the minimum allowable turn under power of the largest aircraft which will use the alert pad. In no
case will the initial turnout from the alert apron parking space to the through taxilane exceed 90
degrees. For Air Force alert pad for bombers and tankers, the initial turn from the parking space will
have a turn equal to the distance from the taxilane centerline to the nose of the aircraft. This is
shown in Table 6.1.
6.13.10. Dedicated Access Taxiway. At alert pads, provide a single dedicated taxiway from the
alert pad to the runway for aircraft to progress directly without traffic interruptions. Having no other
taxiways intersect the dedicated taxiway is the ideal way to ensure the dedicated taxiway is not
obstructed.
