What is the minimum runway width for aircrafts below a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 2000kg?

The minimum runway width for aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight below 2000kg is 10 meters. The regulation concerning runway specifications is designed to ensure safety and operational performance for various aircraft categories.

Aircraft weighing less than 2000kg typically operate in a class that requires narrower runways compared to larger aircraft. The 10-meter width provides adequate space for these lighter aircraft to operate safely during takeoff and landing, reducing the risk of veering off the runway while accommodating the performance characteristics and operational needs of smaller planes.

Wider runways are generally reserved for heavier aircraft, which require more surface area for stability and maneuverability. Hence, 5 meters would not sufficiently meet safety standards, while 12 meters and 15 meters exceed the requirements for this aircraft category, reflecting the design requirements for aircraft of greater mass.
