§ Mr. Stodartasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the minimum length of runway required, consistent with safety, noise and convenience, for aircraft flying on short and medium haul routes up to 1975.
§ Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu:It is not possible to quote a minimum length of runway required as this varies with the type of aircraft, its expected payload and fuel load for the route, and also with the temperature, the wind and physical characteristics of the aerodrome.
