Recommended Radius Settings

If you want to see the airport how the AFCAD designer really intended or want to be able have more flexibility as an AFCAD designer, then the Recommended settings should be used. This will allow you to separate aircraft better than just Small, Medium and Heavy. For example you could specify a gate to accept 777’s but not A340s. These settings will also work fine with any AFCAD, even one designed by someone using the Simplified settings. This should take an extra 10-15 minutes to set up.
