Airport Toolbox 29 Airside and Landside Functions The airside and landside functions of an airport combine to provide the overall experience by the user. In the current context, the Airfield Infrastructure and Instrument Approach elements of the toolbox make up the airside functions, while Ground Access, Ground Handling Services and Landside Development make up the landside functions.

The best method to determine minimum runway length requirements is coordination with operators of the critical aircraft. Other runway length guidance sources include manufacturers' aircraft handbooks and FAA AC 150/5325-4B, 30 Airports and the Newest Generation of General Aviation Aircraft Aircraft Approach Category Speed (knots)
