BACKGROUND

Currently, when there is a displaced threshold, the threshold coordinates and threshold elevation are included in the Primary Runway Record (PG) and the runway end coordinates and runway end elevation are not provided within the Runway (PG) ARINC record. Jeppesen will now offer these runway end coordinates and runway end elevation in the Jeppesen Supplemental Runway Continuation record. These new runway end fields will only be populated for runways that have a displaced threshold.

SUMMARY

The runway end data will be in columns 85-108 of the Jeppesen Supplemental continuation record as shown below.

Jeppesen Supplemental Runway Continuation Record – changes

Column Field Name (length)
85-93 Runway End Latitude (9)
94-103 Runway End Longitude (10)
104-108 Runway End Elevation (5)
109-124 Reserved (16)

Receiving this additional runway end data is optional. If you do not request to receive the runway end data in the Jeppesen Supplemental Runway Continuation Record, there will be no changes, and columns 85-124 will remain blank.

CLOSING COMMENTS

If you would like to receive the additional runway end data, please evaluate your systems to determine the impact of these changes. Make the appropriate adjustments to accept this new information, and contact your Jeppesen Business Representative.
