Landing Strips

Landing strips are designated areas on an airport where aircraft can land and take off. They are typically made of asphalt or concrete and are designed to support the weight of aircraft. Landing strips are usually equipped with lighting and navigational aids to assist pilots in landing and taking off, especially during low visibility conditions. The length and width of landing strips vary depending on the size of the aircraft that will be using them. In addition to airports, landing strips can also be found in remote areas where aircraft need to land for emergency or logistical purposes.
