Pour un avion donné, il existe une valeur de la vitesse de décision telle que la distance accélération-arrêt et la distance de décollage soient égales. Si l'on offre à cet avion une piste d’une longueur égale à ces distances, il pourra y décoller en choisissant comme valeur de la vitesse critique la valeur précédente. On dit, dans ce cas, qu'il décolle sur une piste classique. La piste classique a une longueur égale à la distance accélération-arrêt et à la distance de décollage lorsque ces deux distances sont égales. 1, record 2, French, - piste%20classique

The aerodrome must be designed to accommodate aeroplane operations under most normal wind conditions. A tail wind on one runway is a head wind on a runway with a reciprocal heading. Runway lengths increase with tail wind, so when using the bidirectional runway concept (i.e. theoretically utilizing a head wind for all conditions in establishing runway length), the zero-wind condition is critical for both take-off and landing. 1, record 3, English, - bidirectional%20runway%20concept

L'aérodrome doit être conçu de façon à recevoir les avions dans la plupart des conditions de vent normales. Ce qui est un vent arrière sur une piste est un vent debout sur une piste de sens opposé. La longueur de piste augmente avec le vent arrière, aussi lorsque l'on emploie la notion de piste bidirectionnelle(c'est-à-dire en utilisant théoriquement un vent debout dans toutes les circonstances pour établir la longueur de piste), c'est la condition de vent nul qui est critique tant pour le décollage que pour l'atterrissage. 1, record 3, French, - notion%20de%20piste%20bidirectionnelle
