| What's a runway constraint?

| At the end of the runway, there is a 5000 ft drop, straight down.
| How's that for a constraint.
|
| exactly

| Who plans on using what lies beyond the end of a runway?
|
| It doesn't answer the question.

| Oh, you were asking a serious question. What about a clearway? It's
| beyond the end of the runway and used for planning purposes...no?
|
|
| True, but it's part of the runway environment. The point I was trying to
| make was that the word just didn't seem to fit the picture. I dont know
| what word I would use in it's place. Performance limitations would
| probably be closer to it, but that probably had little to do with the
| accident in any case, as they were probably well within those..
| I just thought "constraint" is a bit tabloid n this case.
