List of longest runways
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although runway length may be of some academic interest, in terms of usability for airline operations, a runway of at least 6,000 ft (1,829 m) in length is usually adequate for aircraft weights below approximately 200,000 lb (90,718 kg).[citation needed] Larger aircraft including widebodies (Boeing 747, 767, 777, and 787); Airbus A310, A330, A340, A350, and A380; McDonnell Douglas DC-10 or MD-11; and the Lockheed L1011 will usually require at least 8,000 ft (2,438 m)[citation needed] at sea level and somewhat more at higher elevation airports. International wide body flights may also have landing requirements of 10,000 ft (3,048 m) or more and takeoff requirements of 13,000 ft (3,962 m) or more.[citation needed]
At sea level, 10,000 ft (3,048 m) can be considered an adequate length to accommodate virtually any aircraft.[citation needed] For example, at O'Hare International Airport, when landing simultaneously on 22R and 27L or parallel 27R, it is routine for arrivals from the Far East which would normally be vectored for 22R 7,500 ft (2,286 m) or 27R 8,000 ft (2,438 m) to request 27L (10,000 ft, 3,048 m).
