The runway gradient(i.e., slope)is less than 0.1 <br /> percent. <br /> Runway 12-30 is equipped with medium intensity runway lights (MIRL) and high intensity <br /> threshold lighting at each end. The runway is painted with basic runway markings including <br /> runway numbers, centerline markings, and threshold bars. <br /> Runway 12-30 is equipped with paved overruns at each end that provide emergency space to stop <br /> aircraft that overrun the runway. Runway 30 is equipped with a 300-foot long paved overrun and <br /> Runway 12 is served by a 130-foot long paved overrun. <br /> Taxiwaysv <br /> The airfield is served by full-length parallel taxiways on both sides of Runway 12-30. Taxiway L <br /> is located on the east side of the runway and is 30 feet wide with a runway/taxiway centerline <br /> separation distance of 140 feet. Taxiway K is located on the west side of the runway and is also <br /> 30 feet wide with a runway/taxiway centerline separation distance of 140 feet. <br /> By-pass taxiways are provided on both sides of Runway 12-30. Taxiway M extends <br /> approximately 1,300 feet parallel to Taxiway L with a taxiway-to-taxiway centerline separation <br /> of 75 feet. Taxiway J provides by-pass taxiway access for almost the entire length of Taxiway K <br /> with a taxiway-to-taxiway centerline separation of 65 feet. Immediate access to taxilanes, aircraft <br /> parking aprons, and hangar facilities is provided by Taxiways M and J. <br /> There are five entrance/exit taxiways(Taxiways B,C,D,E,and L)on the east side of Runway 12-30 <br /> and six entrance/exit taxiways(Taxiways B, C,D,E,F, and G)on the west side of the runway. <br /> NavigationahAidmand ApproachULighting.6ystemsv <br /> Navigational aids are electronic and visual devices that provide guidance or position information <br /> to aircraft while they are in flight. There are a number of different navigational aids at San Carlos <br /> Airport and in the surrounding area. The primary types of navigational aids used to guide aircraft <br /> in the San Carlos Airport area airspace are discussed in the following paragraphs. <br /> The nearest en route navigational aid to San Carlos Airport is a very high frequency <br /> omnidirectional range(VOR) facility.Military tactical air navigation aids(TACANs) and civil <br /> VORs are commonly combined to form a VORTAC that provides distance and direction <br /> information to civilian and military pilots. Frequently, distance measuring equipment(DME) is <br /> also combined with a VOR facility. The Woodside VORTAC is located approximately seven <br /> nautical miles south of the airport and the San Francisco VOR/DME is located approximately <br /> nine nautical miles northwest of the airport. Several other VOR facilities are located within 35 <br /> nautical miles of the airport. <br /> SanfCarlosfAirportV 2-7 ESAfAirportsf/130753f <br /> ALUCPfWhitefPape/ Junef2014f <br />
