Section 259.482c - Width of approach surface; outward and upward extension of approach surface(1) Based upon the most precise approach available or planned for the end of a runway, the width of the approach surface at the end of the primary surface equals the width of the primary surface and expands uniformly to the following maximum width: (a) For the end of a utility runway, which end has only a visual approach procedure....................... | 1,200 feet |
(b) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has only a visual approach procedure.............................................. | 1,500 feet |
(c) For the end of a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach procedure.............................................. | 2,000 feet |
(d) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach procedure and a visibility minimum established by the FAA that is greater than 3/4 of a statute mile................................................... | 3,500 feet |
(e) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach procedure and a visibility minimum established by the FAA that is 3/4 of a statute mile or less................................................... | 4,000 feet |
(f) For the end of a runway, which end has a precision approach procedure........................... | 16,000 feet |
(2) Based upon the most precise approach available or planned for the end of a runway, the approach surface extends outward and upward at the following slope for the following distance:(a) For the end of a utility runway regardless of the available or planned approach, or for the end of other than a utility runway which end has only a visual approach procedure, a slope of 20 to 1 for 5,000 feet from the end of the primary surface.(b) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach procedure, a slope of 34 to 1 for 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface.(c) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a precision instrument approach procedure, a slope of 50 to 1 for 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface and, from that point, a slope of 40 to 1 for an additional 40,000 feet.Add. 1986, Act 296, Eff. 4/1/1987.
