First Runway
Length (preferably 1,200m) *
Width (Minimum 18m, preferred 20m) *
Runway slope (refer to standards): measured gradient if available.  Allow text description to describe overall slope and any localised areas, along runway and across it) *
Surface of runway (sealed, gravel, grass, other) *
Dimensions of aircraft turning areas at each end of the runway *
Any other factors such as animal, road crossings, prone to flooding.
Magnetic direction of airstrip *
GPS coordinates of each threshold if available
Associated strip information:
Length (if longer than runway itself)
Width (not less than 45m)
Surface (safe for aircraft to use in an emergency)
Associated Fly-over area information
Length (if longer than runway strip itself)
Width (60m for day ops and 90m for night)
Slope away from runway strip (less than 1 in 8 or 12.5%)
Surface (clear of trees, shrubs, fences, mounds, rock outcrops)
Is not required to be trafficable by an aircraft
Take-off and Landing areas off the runway ends
No objects (trees, hills or other obstructions above a gradient of 3%
Request details of object that determines the slope
distance and magnetic bearing from threshold.
height above threshold
Areas outside the Flyover area (Lateral Transition Surface)
Are there any large trees, ridges or man-made structures located within 45 m of the outer edge of the flyover area.
Airstrip Markings
Runway Strip markers
Description (cones, gables, fuel drums, truck tyres etc) *
Runway Edge and Corner Markers (Required if runway not naturally well defined)
Description
Airstrip Lighting (if installed)
Description (fixed electric, battery powered, diesel flares )
Spacing along runway
Means of Activating (Pilot activated system or contact airstrip operator)
