Question

Corrections are applied to the basic length of the runway strip considering:
(i) The elevation HH (in m) of the airport above Mean Sea Level (MSL)
(ii) Corrected air temperature TT (in ∘^\circ C) with respect to the standard temperature at elevation HH
(iii) The effective gradient GG (in %) along the length of the runway
Respective correction applied to the basic length of the runway is:
  1. A.
    0.07×H300;0.01×T;0.10×G0.07 \times \frac{H}{300} ; 0.01 \times T ; 0.10 \times G
  2. B.
    0.01×H300;0.07×T;0.10×G0.01 \times \frac{H}{300} ; 0.07 \times T ; 0.10 \times G
  3. C.
    0.07×H300;0.10×T;0.01×G0.07 \times \frac{H}{300} ; 0.10 \times T ; 0.01 \times G
  4. D.
    0.10×H300;0.07×T;0.01×G0.10 \times \frac{H}{300} ; 0.07 \times T ; 0.01 \times G
