Question: Elevation --- RWY
Hello everybody,
I got a question regarding the so-called "elevation", i.e. the highest point of a runway. I have been told that the elevation is usually at the threshold, right before the touchdown zone, in order to ensure an easier take-off. However, as airplanes land in the same direction as they take off, isn't the descending RWY a problem for landing? My (admittedly unprofessional) reasoning suggests that it would be better for aircraft to land on RWYs increasing in altitude. Am I completely off the track? Any experts out there, please help ;-) John
