What is the minimum run-out distance provided for the installation of the mobile aircraft arresting system?

The minimum run-out distance provided for the installation of the mobile aircraft arresting system is 990 feet plus the length of the aircraft. This standard is established to ensure that there is sufficient distance for the aircraft to decelerate safely and completely after engaging the arresting system. The specified distance takes into account various factors, such as aircraft speed at the point of arrestment and the effectiveness of the system, ensuring that it is capable of handling a wide range of operational scenarios.

This standard provides a buffer that allows for effective energy absorption and prevents potential runway overruns or damage to the aircraft during emergency landings. The addition of the aircraft length is critical, as different aircraft types will require varying amounts of stopping distance, and this ensures that the arresting system is applicable across a diverse range of military and civilian aircraft.
