Appropriate runway exits are provided for the aircraft mix using the runway. The Runway Occupancy Time (ROT) as well as the predictability is based on the number of exits, the design/shape of the exit, the location with respect to the landing threshold as well as pilot/airline standard operating procedures. Finding a well accepted balance between number, shape and location is necessary.
Multiple runway entries and a wide holding area can help to optimize the sequencing process for departing aircraft and can generate significant operational benefits during periods of traffic congestion.
