Runway & Overrun Kinematics Map 1 px = 10 ft

Visualization Guide: Runway 09 length is scaled at 13,016 ft. Blue marker indicates initial aircraft wheels-on-ground point. If calculated deceleration distance exceeds physical threshold, the aircraft enters the Engineered Materials Arrestor System (EMAS) crushable concrete bed or perimeter overrun zone.
