Runway 16/34 Dimensions
Runway 16/34 is 1980 Meters (about 6500ft) long and 44 Meters (150 ft) wide. Typically a runway like this in the US would be 150ft wide and 8000 ft to 12,000 ft long. So it's not perfectly to scale. The Northern end runs into the water. The Southern end Is right up against some mountains. Maybe I will expand it later. For now, 6500 feet is going to have to do.
Northern EMAS Pad
This is the northern EMAS Pad for Rwy 34. EMAS stands for Engineered Material Arresting System. Planes that overrun the runway are stopped by this soft material. On Oct 27th, 2016, Mike Pence's airplane overshot the runway on a rainy night at LaGuardia. A pad like this one likely save the former VP from a more tragic outcome.
