(OP)
Can somebody please help me with the dimensions of runway turn pads for a -8 (code letter C) runway, I have Annex 14 but the dimensions are not clear to me.

RE: runway turn pads

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.

(OP)
Am in East Africa am designing following (international Civil Aviation Organization) ICAO International standards,am designing runway for a plane with this dimensions.
wing span =27.47m
length = nose to tail = 25.68m

RE: runway turn pads

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.
