Annex · 13C–31CRío BogotáEl DoradoBogotáCerros Orientales
Before land, I designed somewhere to land.
An annex aerodrome for domestic flights, so El Dorado could keep its runways for the world.
Runway 13C–31C2,100 m × 45 m
Parallel taxiway15 m wide · 190 m from the runway
Two rapid exits, two holding baysExits at 30° · bays for 2 × A321
It was designed around one aircraft.

Every value is from the thesis, cited by table and page. The annex sits beside El Dorado as the thesis’s site figure shows it (Ilustración 1, p.14); the spacing of El Dorado’s runways comes from their published coordinates; the city, river and hills around them are schematic.
Aircraft land into the wind.
