Hi Mini,

It's really quite simple to determine if one of your aircraft can use a particular strip.

Each Aircraft has an Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).

Each Runway has a Pavement Classification Number (PCN).

If the ACN is less than or equal to the PCN, then the Runway is strong enough for that particular aircraft.

If the ACN is greater than the PCN, then that aircraft cannot safely use that runway.


The PCN is published for every runway, and you should have no difficulty in getting hold of ACN's

Simple really
