INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Runway System The Airport’s runway system consists of a pair of parallel runways, with north-south orientations. Both runways have a grooved asphalt surface, are equipped with a high intensity runway lighting (HIRL) systems, and have precision runway markings. The primary runway, Runway 16R-34L, is 8,009 feet long by 150 feet wide. This runway is designed to accommodate D-III aircraft, meaning the runway can accommodate aircraft with a wingspan up to 118 feet, and an approach speed of up to 165 knots. This runway serves as the primary runway for air carrier operations, and has a multitude of instrument approaches. The secondary runway, Runway 16L-34R is 6,000 feet long and is 150 feet wide. The runway was added to the Airport system in 2005. This runway is designed to accommodate the same aircraft as the primary runway, but is primarily used by the general aviation fleet based at EUG, especially those performing training operations. The primary runway is often used for the initial takeoff and the final landing as a way to decrease taxiing times for general aviation aircraft, and the secondary runway used for touch-and-go operations. The two parallel runways have a separation distance of 4,300 feet. This separation distance allows air traffic control (ATC) to operate the runways simultaneously without intersecting flight patterns. Runway 34L and Runway 16L, both have a standard left hand traffic pattern, while Runway 34R and 16R both have a standard right hand traffic pattern to avoid aircraft conflicts. Both runways have runway distance remaining signs. A complete summary of the runway systems is detailed in Table 1-2.
