What is the primary purpose of designing longitudinal slope changes on runways according to GM1 ADR-DSN.B.065?

Slope changes are designed to reduce dynamic loads on the undercarriage system of the aeroplane, and minimising slope changes is especially important on runways where aircraft move at high speeds.

For which type of runway are slopes in a specified area from the runway end, including the touchdown area, required to correspond to the characteristics needed for that type of approach?

For precision approach runways, slopes in a specified area from the runway end, and including the touchdown area, are designed to correspond to the characteristics needed for such type of approach.

Why is minimising slope changes especially important on runways where aircraft move at high speeds?

Because slope changes are designed to reduce dynamic loads on the undercarriage system of the aeroplane, and minimising them is especially important on runways where aircraft move at high speeds.

What specific area of a precision approach runway must have slopes designed to match the characteristics needed for that approach type?

A specified area from the runway end, including the touchdown area, must have slopes designed to correspond to the characteristics needed for a precision approach.

GM1 ADR-DSN.B.065 Longitudinal slopes changes on runways

ED Decision 2014/013/R

(a) Slope changes are so designed as to reduce dynamic loads on the undercarriage system of the aeroplane. Minimising slope changes is especially important on runways where aircraft move at high speeds.

(b) For precision approach runways, slopes in a specified area from the runway end, and including the touchdown area, are so designed that they should correspond to the characteristics needed for such type of approach.
