## GM1 ADR-DSN.B.095 Runway turn pads

Where severe weather conditions and resultant lowering of [surface friction](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/surface-friction) characteristics prevail, a larger wheel-to-edge clearance should be provided.

(a) A typical [runway turn pad](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/runway-turn-pad) layout is presented in Figure GM-B-3 below:

(b) Such areas, if provided along a [runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/runway), may also be useful to reduce taxiing time and distance for aeroplanes which may not require the full length of the runway.

(c) Additional guidance on the design of runway turn pads is given in ICAO Doc 9157, [Aerodrome](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aerodrome) Design Manual, Part 1, Runways.
