RUNWAY MANAGEMENT
The first Boeing 777X is set to arrive in King County later this year.

Having the aircraft exit
the runway one taxiway
shorter not only cut
airfield occupancy time
by 90 seconds, but it also
resolved a potential issue
with the jet's powerful
twin engines blasting the
nearby parking lot and
buildings.

at the physical conditions of pavement,
plus the width and strength, we could
identify potential operating solutions
to move around objects while trying
to maintain the same level of service."
Working Together to
Find a Better Way
Planners met with every stakeholder
involved or affected by the project,
ranging from air traffic controllers and
FAA planners, to engineers, airport staff
and even Boeing 777X engineers and
test pilots. The interviews allowed the
team to gain technical aspects of the
aircraft and of the airfield that were
needed to prepare viable concepts.
"Planning in a bubble is not effective,"
Derengowski said. "We needed to get
out front with every stakeholder and
learn what their key issues were."
Leaning on their learnings and a bit
of creativity, RS&H Project Manager
Steve Domino and the team built
several operational scenarios based on
what the aircraft would be doing. For
arrivals, the planners learned that the
Boeing 777X could stop short of the
end of the runway and safely exit onto
a taxiway that only required to make
two 90-degree turns instead of turning
around on the runway itself.
"By utilizing exits we don't usually
use, the plan made it easier for aircraft
to enter and exit the runway," Sykora
said. "It gives us a ton of flexibility on
how to maneuver the plane and it gives
us a plan on how to handle other large
aircraft that come to our airport."
Having the aircraft exit the runway
one taxiway shorter not only cut airfield
occupancy time by 90 seconds, but it
also resolved a potential issue with the
jet's powerful twin engines blasting the
nearby parking lot and buildings.
"In our meet ing s w ith the
stakeholders at the airport, we'd present
our recommendations and then listen to
them to see how we could make them
even better," Derengowski said. "We
wanted to make sure we captured what
we heard from everyone to come up
with the best solution for King County.
"We ultimately had buy-in on the
plan from everyone and I would credit
that to all of the communication we had.
I believe what we learned could be used
at similar airports across the country."
The first Boeing 777X is set to
arrive in King County later this year.
Derengowski, Domino and the rest of
the RS&H team hope to be on site to
see the first test flight. The airport will
be ready for its arrival.
"Everyone knows the plan," Sykora
said. "We're ready for the 777X to
land."
