Which measurement is used to determine site suitability for MRES installation?

• A. The distance between MAAS and MRES
• B. The slope between MAAS and the runway threshold
• C. The slope between MAAS and MRES
• D. The angle of the runway

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that the suitability of a site for a Mobile Renewable Energy System depends on how the terrain grades between the MAAS location and the MRES unit. The slope along this path determines practical aspects of installation: how cables will be routed and supported, the mounting and anchoring requirements, and how drainage or erosion will be managed. A favorable slope allows safe, stable installation with manageable cable sag and proper clearances; a steep or uneven slope can complicate mounting, increase hardware needs, and raise reliability risks. Distance between the two points isn’t the deciding factor by itself because you can accommodate longer cable runs with appropriate design. The angle of the runway or any runway-related slope doesn’t affect the electrical site suitability, since it relates to airfield geometry rather than the MRES installation conditions.
