Subaerial Landslide Generated Waves (SLGW) have long been a matter of substantial concern due to originating catastrophe along shorelines. Comprehensive review on presented empirical equations for estimating far-field runup of SLGW has undertaken. Using physical scale modelling results, Accuracy of empirical equations is what has been done in the present study. Aiming to bring insight to coastal design, empirical equations have been applied to several real event of SLGW. Empirical equation of Hall and Watts has been presented the best consistency and Synolakis, Hughes and Li and Raichlen empirical equations predicts with the least deviations. The results presented in this paper may be useful for preliminary hazard assessment, where a simple and quick judgment of the resulting wave runup height and locations are required.
