§ 6-3. Approach zones.

An area longitudinal centered on the extended runway center line and extending outward from each end of the primary zone. An approach zone is designed for each runway based upon the type of approach available or planned for that runway end.

(a)

Precision instrument approach zone. An instrument approach zone is established at each end of precision instrument runways. The inner edge of the precision instrument approach zone shall have a width of one thousand (1,000) feet at a distance of two hundred (200) feet beyond each end of the runway. The inner edge shall then widen uniformly to a width of sixteen thousand (16,000) feet at a distance of fifty thousand two hundred (50,200) feet beyond each end of the runway.

(b)

Nonprecision instrument approach zones. Nonprecision instrument approach zones are established at each end of the nonprecision runways. The inner edge of the nonprecision instrument approach zone shall have a width of one thousand (1,000) feet at a distance of two hundred (200) feet beyond each end of the runway. The inner edge shall then widen uniformly to a width of four thousand (4,000) feet for that end of a nonprecision instrument runway having a nonprecision instrument approach with visibility minimums as low as three-fourths statute mile. This type of approach zone extends to a horizontal distance of ten thousand two hundred (10,200) feet beyond each end of the runway.
