SHOOTZ...remember this is an international forum, so your references and acronyms might not mean much to many. Please state where you are located and the specific standards you must follow....then others will be better able to help.

Do you have a specific airplane you need to accomodate? Contact the manufacturer. He will have the dimensions needed to accomodate that airframe. (Then make things just a bit larger to make it easier on the people in the pointy end.)

The length and wingspan are important, but the wheelbase, gear width etc are important as well.

Also, remember the pavement design. You may have to improve/design taxiways and parking aprons also.
