Aerodrome Design Manual - Part 2 - Taxiways, Aprons and Holding Bays
Also Known As: ICAO 9157-2
The ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual - Part 2: Taxiways, Aprons and Holding Bays, known as Doc 9157, is the fifth edition of the manual that provides updated design criteria for various aspects of taxiway design and layout. It specifically focuses on the physical characteristics of taxiways, including the shoulder and strips.
The manual takes into account the advancements in aircraft technology, which have resulted in aircraft with increased capabilities and more precise guidance systems for landing, take-off, and taxiing. It also includes illustrations of larger and newer generation aircraft and their impact on existing aerodromes.
One notable addition in this edition is the inclusion of new charts in Appendix 2, which provide information on jet blast for the design of blast fences. This addition reflects the need to consider the safety factors associated with jet blasts and implement appropriate measures to mitigate their effects.
