What are the dimensions of the maintenance pattern for runway 05/23?

• A. Length of the runway, width to approach end of 32
• B. Length of the runway, width to tree cut out at approach end of 05
• C. Length of the runway only
• D. Width to approach end of 32

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that a maintenance pattern is described by its two extents: how long it runs along the runway and how wide it is up to a specified approach end. For runway 05/23, the pattern is defined by both the full runway length and the width measured to the approach end of the opposite end (the 32 end). This ensures you have enough space along the entire surface plus the necessary width into the approach area for safe maintenance work and clearance of obstacles. That’s why listing both dimensions—the runway length and the width to the 32 end—best matches how the maintenance pattern is defined. Options that mention only the length or only the width miss part of what’s needed, and a specific feature like a tree-cutout isn’t part of the standard dimensional description for the pattern.
