What are the dimensions of the maintenance pattern for runway 14/32?

• A. Length of the runway, width to approach end of 32
• B. Width of the runway, length to tree cut out at approach end of 05
• C. Length of the runway, width to tree cut out at approach end of 32
• D. Length of the runway, width to tree cut out at approach end of 05

Answer: (D)

The maintenance pattern uses a rectangle defined by the full runway length and a lateral boundary set by the distance to a tree cut out at the approach end of the 05 direction. In other words, you measure along the entire runway length, and the width is limited to the tree cut out at the approach end of 05. This ensures maintenance operations stay within a safe envelope relative to that end of the runway and its nearby obstacles. The other end and boundary descriptions don’t match the designated obstacle boundary for this pattern.
