Longest runway length on sectional chart

On a sectional chart, the airport data block shows the length of the longest runway as '85'. How should this be read?

  • A.85 feet
  • B.850 feet
  • C.8,500 feet
Correct answer

C. 8,500 feet

Why

Sectional charts express the longest runway length in hundreds of feet. The figure 85 therefore means 8,500 feet, a useful clue to the size and traffic of the airport.
