Radio altimeter operating area
Slope changes should be avoided or kept to a minimum in the first 300m before the threshold of a precision runway
Runway safety area ?

Clear way?
Where an aircraft can make a portion of its initial climb. It cannot be greater than 50% of the take off run available and should extend at least 75m off the centre line. It does not have to be load bearing.
TORA
Take off run available
TODA
Take off distance plus the clear way
ASDA
Accelerate stop distance, is the TORA plus the stopway if provided
LDA
Landing distance available
RESA
Twice the width of the runway for a distance greater than 90m
Response time
Time between initial call and when first vehicle in position to discharge at least 50% of specified discharge rate
