Corrections are applied to the basic length of the runway strip considering:
(i) The elevation H (in m) of the airport above Mean Sea Level (MSL)
(ii) Corrected air temperature T (in °C) with respect to the standard temperature at elevation H
(iii) The effective gradient G (in %) along the length of the runway

Respective correction applied to the basic length of the runway is:
A
0.07 × H/300 ; 0.01 × T ; 0.10 × G
B
0.01 × H/300 ; 0.07 × T ; 0.10 × G
C
0.07 × H/300 ; 0.10 × T ; 0.01 × G
D
0.10 × H/300 ; 0.07 × T ; 0.01 × G

Correct : a
