Runway 20*:

TODA 1,975 (versus BOH 2,086)

It appears that one issue has been overlooked, namely the runway width. To attain a TORA/ASDA/TODA 1800M or more the runway width needs to be a minimum of 45 M. I suspect that the current 20 TODA is there due to grandfather rights, When the runway dimensions change it is probable that the 20 TODA will drop to 1799.

Even with the TORA/ASDA/TODA limited to 1799, the 02 LDA increased and the current 20 LDA, most of the distances are better than SEN.

While a 20 TORA/TODA will only increase to 1799 the obstacle environment (trees + hill) in the TOCS (take-off/climb surface) will be slightly improved due to the take-off being started further north than that currently available.
