Runway 16‐34
Arlington Municipal Airport is served by one runway. Run‐
way 16‐34 is 6,080 feet long by 100 feet wide and is orien‐
tated northwest to southeast. Table 1F presents data specif‐
ic to the runway. Other than the lengths and widths of the
runway surface, the following items are included, as de‐
tailed:

Pavement type – Indicates the surface material type.
Pavement condition – FAA’s current rating of runway pavement material.
Pavement strength – Based on the construction of the pavement, a runway can provide differing
load bearing capacities. Single wheel gear loading (SWL) refers to having one wheel per landing
gear strut. Dual wheel loading (DWL) and dual tandem wheel loading (DTWL) include the design of
aircraft landing gear with additional wheels on each landing gear strut, which distributes the air‐
craft weight across more of the pavement surface; thus, the surface itself can support a greater to‐
tal aircraft weight.
Pavement markings – Pavement markings aid in the movement of aircraft along airport surfaces
and identify closed or hazardous areas on the airport. Runway markings provide pilots with desig‐
nation and centerline stripes in basic form, while non‐precision markings add threshold bars, edges,
