§ 11.08.040. Transition zone.

A.

Transition zones are established adjacent to each precision instrument and nonprecision instrument runway and approach zone, as indicated on Exhibit A (see Map 11.08.070A).

B.

Transition zones symmetrically located on either side of runways have variable widths as shown on Map 11.08.070A. Transition zones extend outward from a line two hundred fifty feet on either side of the centerline of the nonprecision instrument runway for the length of such runway, plus two hundred feet on each end, and five hundred feet on either side of the centerline of the precision instrument runway, for the length of such runway plus two hundred feet on each end, and are parallel and level with such runway centerlines. The transition zones along such runways slope upward and outward one foot vertically for each seven feet horizontally to the point where they intersect the surface of the horizontal zone.

C.

Further, transition zones are established adjacent to the approach zones. These transition zones have variable widths, as shown in Map 11.08.070A. Such transition zones flare symmetrically with either side of the runway approach zones from the base of such zones and slope upward and outward at the rate of one foot vertically for each seven feet horizontally to the points where they intersect the surfaces of the horizontal and conical zones.

D.

Additionally, transition zones are established adjacent to the precision instrument approach zone where it projects through and beyond the limits of the conical zone, extending a distance of five thousand feet measured horizontally from the edge of the approach zones at right angles to the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
