Runway dimensions vary from as small as 245 m (804 ft) long and 8 m (26 ft) wide in smaller general aviation airports, to 5,500 m (18,045 ft) long and 80 m (262 ft) wide at large international airports built to accommodate the largest jets, to the huge 11,917 m × 274 m (39,098 ft × 899 ft) lake bed runway 17/35 at Edwards Air Force Base in ...
White space around the chart is filled with map information and the legend, scales, and tables of airport and airspace information. Terrain is color-coded for its elevation and major roads, cities, and bodies of water are shown for visual reference, as well as other identifiable structures (e.g., stadiums and water towers ).
Airport diagrams [1], airport charts [2], or aerodrome charts [3] are airport maps that are designed to assist ground traffic to move around complex runway and taxiway configurations. [ 4 ] Regulation
An aeronautical chart is a map designed to assist in the navigation of aircraft, much as nautical charts do for watercraft, or a roadmap does for drivers. Using these charts and other tools, pilots are able to determine their position, safe altitude, best route to a destination, navigation aids along the way, alternative landing areas in case of an in-flight emergency, and other useful ...

Runway designations are shown at their respective thresholds. Since the runways are reversible, aircraft traveling on a WNW heading would be (for example) on 28R, but aircraft traveling in the opposite direction (ESE) on the same runway would be on 10L instead. T1 = Terminal 1, with boarding areas B and C; T2 = Terminal 2, with boarding area D
