Runway identifiers
Runway identifiers changed from 11R/29L, 17R/35L to 11/29, 17/35 as these are not parallel pairs. However the circuit directions are 11 RH / 29 LH, 17 RH / 35 LH.
Runway dimension update
The length of 09/27 is 1309 m. The Pooleys entry of 1307 m is to be updated.
The distance between the painted thresholds is 1000 m as this is the longest a licensed runway can be with a width of 23 m.
However 09/27 is now unlicensed. This means the full length of 1309 m is available for take-off and landing,
From the Turweston website 12 April 2023:
Turweston Aerodrome has tarmac and grass runways
These are designated
09/27 hard
09/27 grass
03/21 grass
The circuits are 09 – left hand and 27 – right hand
03 – right hand and 21 left hand
The marked 09 threshold is displaced by 210m and the 27 threshold by 99m
The tarmac runway is 1,309m x 23m with a declared distance of 1,000m between threshold bars, but as an unlicensed runway the distance of 1300m is available for take off or landing if required.
TORA 09 from B intersection is 900m
09/27 grass has an available length of 800m x 23m
03/21 grass has an available length of 460m x 23m
