Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Loading, Performance & Airport Operations Questions › Question 61
On a sectional chart, the airport data block shows the length of the longest runway as '85'. How should this be read?
- A.85 feet
- B.850 feet
- C.8,500 feet
Correct answer
C. 8,500 feet
Why
Sectional charts express the longest runway length in hundreds of feet. The figure 85 therefore means 8,500 feet, a useful clue to the size and traffic of the airport.
