§ 151.79 Runway paving: Second run-

way; wind conditions. 

(a) 

All airports. 

Paving a second run-

way on the basis of wind conditions is 
eligible for inclusion in a project only 
if the sponsor shows that— 

(1) The airport meets the applicable 

standards of paragraph (b), (c), or (d) of 
this section; 

(2) The operational experience, and 

the economic factors of air traffic at 
the location, justify an additional run-
way for the airport; and 

(3) The second runway is oriented 

with the existing paved runway to 
achieve the maximum wind coverage, 
with due consideration to the airport 
noise factor, topography, soil condi-
tions, and other pertinent factors af-
fecting the economy and efficiency of 
the runway development. 

(b) 

Airports serving large and small air-

craft. 

The airport serves both large and 

small aircraft and the existing paved 
runway is subject to a crosswind com-
ponent of more than 15 miles per hour 
(13 knots) more than 5 percent of the 
time. 

(c) 

Airports serving small aircraft only. 

The airport serves small aircraft exclu-
sively, and— 

(1) The airport has 10,000, or more, 

aircraft operations each year; and 

(2) The existing paved runway is sub-

ject to a crosswind component of more 
than 12 miles per hour (10.5 knots) 
more than 5 percent of the time. 

(d) 

Airports serving aircraft of less than 

8,000 pounds only. 

The airport serves 

small aircraft of less than 8,000 pounds 
maximum certificated takeoff weight 
exclusively and— 

(1) The airport has 5,000, or more, air-

craft operations each year; and 

(2) The existing paved runway is sub-

ject to a crosswind component of more 

than 12 miles per hour (10.5 knots) 
more than 5 percent of the time.

§ 151.80 Runway paving: Additional 

runway; other conditions. 

Paving an additional runway on an 

airport that does not qualify for a sec-
ond runway under § 151.79 is eligible if 
the Administrator, upon consideration 
on a case-to-case basis, is satisfied 
that— 

(a) The volume of traffic justifies an 

additional paved runway and the lay-
out and orientation of the additional 
runway will expedite traffic; or 

(b) A combination of traffic volume 

and aircraft noise problems justifies an 
additional paved runway for that air-
port.

§ 151.81 Taxiway paving. 

(a) The construction, alteration, and 

repair of taxiways needed to expedite

able for general public use are eligible 
items under the program. Taxiways to 
serve an area or facility that is pri-
marily for the exclusive or near exclu-
sive use of a tenant or operator that 
does not furnish aircraft servicing to 
the public are not eligible. In addition, 
the policies on resealing or refilling 
joints, as set forth in § 151.77, apply also 
to taxiway paving. 

(b) Appendix D of this part sets forth 

typical eligible and ineligible items of 
taxiway paving. 

§ 151.83 Aprons. 

(a) The construction, alteration, and 

repair of aprons are eligible program 
items upon being shown that they are 
needed as public use facilities. An 
apron to serve an area that is pri-
marily for the exclusive or near exclu-
sive use of a tenant or operator who 
does not furnish aircraft servicing to 
the public is not eligible. In addition, 
the policies on resealing or refilling 
joints, as set forth in § 151.77 apply also 
to apron paving. 

(b) In determining public use for the 

purposes of this section, the current
