The EMAS bed measures 262.6 feet in length by 169.7 feet in width. This arrestor bed is designed to help stop an aircraft that overruns the runway end.

Are there taxiway restrictions for larger aircraft at KLIT?
Bill and Hillary Clinton National / Adams Field restricts passenger air carrier aircraft in Airport Design Group IV and larger from using Taxiway F between Taxiway E and the Atlantic Aviation / Envoy hangar ramp.

Additionally, Taxiway A is closed 315 feet south of the Taxiway A6 intersection through to Runway 36, except for aircraft with a wingspan under 79 feet. Dispatchers routing larger aircraft through KLIT should account for these taxiway limitations in ground planning.
