Airport Master Plan - City of Riverside

RUNWAYS
Riverside Airport is served by a tworunway
system, both of which are constructed
of asphalt. The primary
runway is 5,401 feet long by 100 feet
wide. The runway was recently reconstructed
and is in excellent condition.
The pavement has been strength-rated
at 48,000 pounds single wheel loading
(SWL), 70,000 pounds dual wheel
loading (DWL), and 110,000 pounds
dual tandem wheel loading (DTWL).
These strength ratings refer to the
configuration of the aircraft landing
gear. For example, SWL indicates an
aircraft with a single wheel on each
landing gear.
Crosswind Runway 16-34 is 2,851 feet
long and 48 feet wide. Runway 16-34
provides an alternate landing direction
for small aircraft (12,500 pounds
and less) when wind direction is not
closely aligned with Runway 9-27.
This runway was recently resurfaced
and is in excellent condition.
TAXIWAYS
Taxiway A is the full-length parallel
taxiway on the south side of Runway
9-27. The western 1,100 feet of Taxiway
A has been relocated to a separation
distance of 275 feet and has been
widened to 50 feet. The eastern 4,300
feet of this taxiway is separated from
the primary runway by 270 feet as
measured centerline to centerline.
This portion of Taxiway A, from the
intersection with the crosswind runway
to the Runway 27 threshold, is
planned to be relocated to 275 feet and
widened to 50 feet in 2008.
Taxiway J from the intersection with
Taxiway A, extending south to the
Runway 34 threshold, was constructed
in 2006. This taxiway is 25 feet wide
and located 150 feet from the runway
centerline. This taxiway provides
access to the new west side landside
hangar development area. The portion
of Taxiway J between the primary
runway and Taxiway A is 100 feet
wide and is not in line with the rest of
Taxiway J. This portion of the taxiway
has previously been planned for
replacement with a section that will
connect the north and south ends of
Taxiway J.
Taxiway B extending to the Runway
34 threshold is also new since the previous
master plan. This taxiway provides
direct terminal area access to
the Runway 34 threshold.
The entrance/exit taxiways serving
Runway 9-27 are labeled from east to
west as Taxiways C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Taxiway L connects the aircraft apron
area to the southern portion of Runway
34. All of these taxiways are between
40 and 75 feet in width. The
apron taxiway has been designated as
a non-movement area.
PAVEMENT MARKINGS
Pavement markings aid in the movement
of aircraft along airport surfaces
and identify closed or hazardous areas
on the airport. The precision markings
to Runway 9 identify the runway
centerline, designation, touchdown
point, threshold, aircraft hold positions,
and pavement edges. The nonprecision
markings to Runway 27
