SCOPE
1.1

Purpose

This document provides, in a standardized format, the recommended minimum airplane

characteristics data that are needed for general airport planning information. The DC-10
data in this document are for each series considering airport operations. Since operational
practices vary among airlines, specific data should be coordinated with the using airlines
prior to facility design. The Douglas Aircraft Company should be contacted for any
additional information required.
Content of the document reflects the results of a coordinated effort by representatives from
the following organizations:
Aerospace Industries Association
Airport Operators Council International
Air Transport Association of America
International Air Transport Association

APRIL 2004

1.2

Introduction

This document conforms to NAS 3601. It provides McDonnell Douglas DC-10

characteristics for airport operators, airlines, and engineering consultant organizations.
Since airplane changes and available options may alter the information, the data
presented herein must be regarded as subject to change.
For further information contact:

1.3

Inclusion of MD-10-10F/-30F Freighter Information

This document has been partially revised to incorporate key information for the MD-1010F and MD-10-30F Freighters. The main change was the incorporation of the MD-11
landing gear tires and carbon brakes onto the MD-10-10F and the MD-10-30F Freighters.
The general airplane characteristics table and select pages from section 7 of the document
pertaining to pavement data were the only pages revised. All existing charts and
diagrams for the DC-10 that were not revised can still be considered valid for the MD-1010F and MD-10-30F Freighters.

7.1 General Information
A brief description of the pavement charts that follow will help in their use for airport planning. Each
airplane configuration is depicted with a minimum range of four loads imposed on the main landing
gear to aid in interpolation between the discrete values shown. All curves for any single chart
represent data based on rated loads and tire pressures considered normal and acceptable by current
aircraft tire manufacturer's standards.
Section 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 present basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, maximum
design taxi loads, and tire sizes and pressures.
Maximum pavement loads for certain critical conditions at the tire-to-ground interface are shown in
Section 7.3.1 and 7.3.2.
Pavement requirements for commercial airplanes are customarily derived from the static analysis of
loads imposed on the main landing gear struts. Paragraph 7.4.1 and Figures 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 are
provided in order to determine these loads throughout the stability limits of the airplane at rest on the
pavement. These main landing gear loads are used as the point of entry to the pavement design
charts, interpolating load values where necessary.
The flexible pavement design curves paragraph 7.5 and Figures 7.5.1 through 7.5.3 are based on
procedures set forth in Instruction Report No. S-77-1, "Procedures for Development of CBR Design
Curves," dated June 1977, and as modified according to the methods described in ICAO Aerodrome
Design Manual, Part 3, Pavements, 2nd Edition, 1983, Section 1.1 (The ACN/PCN Method), and
utilizing the alpha factors approved by ICAO in October 2007. Instruction Report No. S-77-1 was
prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Soils and Pavements
Laboratory, Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Rigid pavement design curves Paragraph 7.7 and Figures 7.7.1 through 7.7.3 have been prepared with
the Westergaard equation in general accordance with the procedures outlined in the Design of
Concrete Airport Pavement (1955 edition) by Robert G. Packard, published by the American
Concrete Pavement Association, 3800 North Wilke Road, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004-1268.
These curves are modified to the format described in the Portland Cement Association publication
XP6705-2, Computer Program for Airport Pavement Design (Program PDILB), 1968, by Robert G.
Packard.
The following procedure is used to develop the rigid pavement design curves such as those shown in
Section 7.7.1 through 7.7.3:
133
JUNE 2010

1.

Having established the scale for pavement thickness to the left and the scale for allowable
working stress to the right, an arbitrary load line is drawn representing the main landing gear
maximum weight to be shown.

2.

Values of the subgrade modulus (k) are then plotted as shown in Figures 7.7.1 through 7.7.3.

3.

Additional load lines for the incremental values of weight on the main landing gear are drawn
on the basis of the curve for k = 300, already established.

All LCN curves have been plotted from data in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
document 7290-AM/865/2, Aerodrome Manual, Part 2, Aerodrome Physical Characteristics, 2nd
Edition, 1965.
On the same charts showing LCN verusus equivalent single wheel load, there are load plots showing
equivalent single wheel load versus pavement thickness for flexible pavements and versus radius of
relative stiffness for rigid pavements.
Procedures and curves provided in the ICAO Aerodrome Manual Part 2, Chapter 4 are used to
determine equivalent single wheel loads for use in making LCN conversion of rigid pavement
requirements.

ICAO has sdopted the ACN/PCN Reporting System, desribed in Paragraph 7.9, which will replace
other strength reports systems.

ACN/PCN Reporting System - Flexible and Rigid Pavements

To determine the ACN of an aircraft on flexible or rigid pavement, both the aircraft gross weight and
the subgrade strength category must be known. In the chart in 7.9.1, for an aircraft with gross weight
of 360,000 lb on a (Code B), the flexible pavement ACN is 44.

Referring to 7.9.2, for an aircraft with gross weight of 470,000 lb and the subgrade strength is
medium (Code B) the flexible pavement has an ACN of .
If the ACN for an intermediate weight between maximum taxi weight and minimum weight of the
aircraft is required, Figures 7.9.1 through 7.9.6 should be consulted.
