The field itself

This is Ames's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Ames Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print

Ames Municipal has two runways, and the print lets them cross well above the middle of the sheet. The long strip, Runway 01/19, runs almost top to bottom with a slight lean, carrying its end numbers at each tip. The shorter Runway 13/31 comes in on a diagonal from the upper left and cuts across it, then stops a short way past the junction. What you get is a lopsided X with one long tail trailing down into open space, which is a much better piece of wall art than a tidy symmetrical cross would be.

The numbers behind the shapes: 01/19 is 5701 ft long and 100 ft wide on an asphalt surface, and 13/31 is 3491 ft long and 75 ft wide on concrete. That difference in length is doing most of the visual work here, since the two strips are drawn to the same scale and the ratio between them is what your eye reads first. Taxiways and apron shapes sit behind the runways in a lighter tone, clustered up at the top where the buildings are. Field elevation is 956 ft, and it is set in the caption block with the coordinates and the AMW ident.

Composed from published airport information, the layout reads as pure geometry from across a room and as a diagram once you step in close. The pale background keeps the two dark strips doing the talking, though the balance shifts with the colorway you choose. The Ankeny print can hang beside this one.

Ames (AMW) print, common questions

How many runways does Ames Municipal have?

Two. Runway 01/19 is the longer of the pair at 5701 ft by 100 ft, and Runway 13/31 measures 3491 ft by 75 ft. Both appear on the print, crossing each other in the upper part of the sheet.

What are the runway surfaces at AMW?

Runway 01/19 is asphalt and Runway 13/31 is concrete, per the published airport data. The print does not color-code surface type, so the two strips read as one family of shapes.

How high is the field, and where is it?

Field elevation is 956 ft. Ames Municipal sits at Ames, Iowa, near 41.9920 degrees north and 93.6218 degrees west, and the city, state, coordinates and elevation are all set into the caption block beneath the AMW ident.

How accurate is the artwork?

Runway positions, lengths and widths are plotted from published runway data for Ames Municipal, so the crossing angle between 01/19 and 13/31 is what the published layout gives. This is still a piece of wall art rather than a working chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. The things that get thinned out are the small ground items: paint on the pavement, edge light fixtures, the little signs at the hold lines.

What formats can I get this in?

Four. The Fine Art Print is the plain version, and the Framed Fine Art Print is that same AMW image supplied already framed. Prefer a harder surface with some shine to it? That is the Glossy Metal Print. If you would rather just have the file, choose the Digital Download. Every physical version is made to order.

Does it work as a gift?

Yes, especially for anyone with a tie to Ames Municipal. The ident sits large in the lower corner, so AMW is legible from across a room and the recipient recognizes the field before reading a single runway number.
