FACILITY REQUIREMENTS city utilities are properly equipped to handle the introduction of additional loads and for overall concurrence with state and local stormwater handling guidance. Taxiway Design This taxiway analysis addresses specific requirements relative to FAA design criteria and the ability of the existing taxiways to accommodate the current and projected demand. At a minimum, taxiways must provide efficient circulation, have the proper strength, and meet FAA design standards to safely accommodate the design aircraft. Airport runways should be supported by a system of taxiways that provide an access between the runways and the aircraft parking and hangar areas. Taxiways are classified as: »Parallel Taxiway - Facilitate the movement of aircraft to and from the runway. »Exit Taxiway – Provide a means of entering and exiting the runway (does not include those taxiways designated as connector, parallel, or apron edge taxiway). »Crossover or Traverse Taxiway – Provide increase in taxiway flexibility between two parallel taxiways. »Apron Taxiway - Provide primary aircraft access in an aircraft parking apron. The goal of an effective taxiway system is to maintain traffic flow using taxi routing with a minimum number of points requiring a change in the airplane’s taxiing speed. At Eugene, there are a total of 26 taxiways. Taxiway A serves as the parallel taxiway for TABLE 3-12 Runway 16R-34L and Taxiway B serves as the parallel TAXIWAY CLASSIFICATIONS taxiway for Runway 16L-34R. Taxiway A has nine exit taxiways from Runway 16R-34L, all of which are on the Taxiway DesignationTaxiway Classification east side of the runway. The current configuration has a bypass taxiway on each end of the runway which TWY AParallel allows for an optimal flow of ground maneuvering. TWY BParallel Taxiway B has four exit taxiways, all of which are TWY CCrossover located on the west side of the runway. As noted TWY DApron Taxiway previously, the taxiway system is largely the result of TWY EApron Taxiway repurposing pavement from previous airfield layouts, TWY FApron Taxiway making many taxiway locations abnormal and non- TWY GApron Taxiway standard from FAA recommendations. A summary of TWY HApron Taxiway the taxiway nomenclatures and their associated classification is in Table 3-12.
