(a)Runway Larger Than Utility Visual Approach Zone - The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. The approach zone expands outwardly uniformly to a width of 1,500 feet at a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the primary surface. Its center line is the continuation of the center ]me of the runway. (b)Runway Larger Than Utility With a Visibility Minimum Greater Than Three-Fourths Mile Nonprecision Instrument Approach Zone - The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 3,500 feet at a horizontal distance of 10,0G0 feet from the primary surface, its center line being the continuation of the center line of the runway. (c)Runway Larger Than Utility With a Visibility Minimum as Low as Three-Fourths Mile Nonprecision Instrument Approach Zone - The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 1,000 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 4,000 feet at a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the primary surface. Its center line is the continuation of the center line of the runway. (d)Precision Instrument Runway Approach Zone - The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 1,000 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to width of 16,000 feet at a horizontal distance of 50,000 feet from the primary surface, its center line being the continuation of the center l/me of the runway. (e)Transitional Zones - These zones are established as the area beneath the transitional surfaces. These surfaces extend outward and upward at 90-degree angles to the runway center ]me and the runway center line extended a slope of seven feet horizontally for each foot vertically from the sides of the primary and approach surfaces to where they intersect the horizontal omd conical surfaces. Transitional zones for those portions of the precision approach zones, which project through and beyond the l~rnits of the conical surface, extend a distance of 5,000 feet measured horizontally from the edge of the approach zones and at 90-degree angles to the extended runway center line. (t')Horizontal Zone - The horizontal zone is established by swinging arcs of 10,000 feet radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway and connecting the adjacent arcs by drawing lines tangent to those arcs. The horizontal zone does not include the approach and the transitional zones.
