Still no luck...

[Scottler]

Blasphemy...still no luck with my real-world FAA taxiway charts.

[hikariken]

I use some real jeppsen chart and I think my dad got the airport chart

[Scottler]

The problem I'm having is with some numbers on Taxiway charts....do you think your dad would know what they are?  lol

[Craig.]

could you provide a picture or a link to these charts please? i might be able to help

[Scottler]

The chart I'm using as an example is for LAX:

http://www.aopa.org/images/asf/taxi/00237AD.pdf

These numbers appear in the bottom-left quadrant of the map, and they read:


Rwy 6R ldg 9954'
Rwy 25R ldg 11,134'

RWYS 6L-24R, 6R-24L, and 7R-25L
             S175, T225, ST175, TT400, DDT900

RWY 7L-25R
           S175, T225, ST175, TT210, DDT900

I thought at first that the first set of numbers (ldg 9954') was the runway length, but the chart shows that runway to be 10,285x150

And the second set...I've got no idea what those are.

Thanks!

i wouldnt have a clue, maybe something to do with metars or something like that, or weight restrictions?
sorry

[hikariken]

ok my dad says that the first series of numer are the lengh of runway you can use for landing

he is not sur efor the second but he think it is the name of the taxiways you should use

[Scottler]

Well if an airline pilot doesn't know, then I certainly don't need to know for F$.  lol

Thanks to everyone for your prompt assistance, as usual.  

[hikariken]

he does not know fore the second series because they don't use them tehy always follow ATC instruction


but he i sure that the first are the lengh of the runway you can use for landing

[Scottler]

I'm confident it's something I won't need...thank you to you and your father though!

I thought at first that the first set of numbers (ldg 9954') was the runway length, but the chart shows that runway to be 10,285x150

That is right because each runway in this case (and with most airports) has a displaced threshold, you have 10,285 feet to take-off from, but only 9,954 feet to land on because of the displaced threshold(s).

[Scottler]

Oh yeah!  Duh.  I never even thought about that!  Thanks!

[BE58D]

Not a problem Hyperion, that is what everyone is here for... to help each other and occasionally stir up trouble!

[Scottler]

I'm just here to see how many little stars I can get.  lol  Reminds me of my childhood.

[BE58D]

Don't look it at like, you are here to meet new people and have fun... As stars go, I have more stars now than I ever received in all my years of school.
