What wingspan characterizes AAC Category D?

In the context of the AAC (Airport/Alliance Certification) categories for aircraft, the wingspan is classified based on the aircraft's approach speed at maximum landing weight. Category D specifically encompasses aircraft that have an approach speed of 141 to less than 166 knots.

This classification is significant because it helps airport operators determine the appropriate separation distances and operational protocols needed for safe operations at the airport. Category D typically includes larger commercial aircraft that require adequate space and specific handling during takeoff and landing, reflecting the operational characteristics associated with their approach speeds.

The other choices denote ranges that correspond to either smaller aircraft groups or different operational criteria, underscoring the distinct separation between the various AAC categories based on speed and corresponding wingspan characteristics.
