Declared Distances 1. APPLICATION. The purpose of declared distances in airport design is to provide an equivalent runway safety area (RSA), runway object free area (ROFA), or runway protection zone (RPZ) in accordance with the design standards in Chapters 2 and 3 at existing constrained airports where it is otherwise impracticable to meet standards by other means. Declared distances are also employed when there are obstructions in the runway approaches and/or departure surface that are beyond the ability of the airport owner to remove and result in a displaced runway threshold or change in the departure end of the runway (DER). a. This appendix, by treating the airplane's runway performance distances independently, provides an alternative airport design methodology by declaring distances to satisfy the airplane's takeoff run, takeoff distance, accelerate-stop distance, and landing distance requirements. The declared distances are takeoff run available (TORA), takeoff distance available (TODA), accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA), and landing distance available (LDA), which when treated independently may include clearway and stopway and may limit runway use. This alternative design methodology may affect the beginning and ending of the RSA, ROFA, RPZ, and primary surface. b. Where declared distances differ, the primary surface extends 200 feet (60 m) beyond each end of the runway or the far end of each TODA, whichever is further, to protect departures to the extent of the 14 CFR Part 77 approach surface for that runway end, i.e. 20:1, 34:1, and 50:1 originating at or beyond the end of TODA. 2. BACKGROUND. In applying declared distances in airport design, it is helpful to understand the relationship between airplane certification, aircraft operating rules, airport data, and airport design. a. Airplane certification provides the airplane's performance distances. The performance speeds, e.g., V1, takeoff decision speed, VLOF, lift-off speed, V2, takeoff safety speed, VSO, stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration, and the following distances to achieve or decelerate from these speeds are established by the manufacturer and confirmed during certification testing for varying climatological conditions, operating weights, etc. (1) Takeoff run - the distance to accelerate from brake release to lift-off, plus safety factors. (2) Takeoff distance - the distance to accelerate from brake release past lift-off to start of takeoff climb, plus safety factors. (3) Accelerate-stop distance - the distance to accelerate from brake release to V1 and then decelerate to a stop, plus safety factors. (4) Landing distance - the distance from the threshold to complete the approach, touchdown, and decelerate to a stop, plus safety factors. b. Aircraft operating rules provide a minimum acceptable level of safety by controlling the airplane maximum operating weights by limiting the airplane's performance distances as follows: (1) Takeoff run shall not exceed the length of runway. (2) Takeoff distance shall not exceed the length of runway plus clearway. (3) Accelerate-stop distance shall not exceed the length of runway plus stopway. (4) Landing distance shall not exceed the length of runway. c. Airport data provides the runway length and/or the following declared distance information for calculating maximum operating weights and/or operating capability. (1) Takeoff run available (TORA) - the length of runway declared available and suitable for satisfying takeoff run requirements. (2) Takeoff distance available (TODA) - the TORA plus the length of any remaining runway or clearway beyond the far end of the TORA available for satisfying takeoff distance requirements. The usable TODA length is controlled by obstacles present in the departure area vis-a-vis aircraft performance. As such, the usable TODA length is determined by the aircraft operator before each takeoff and requires knowledge of the location of each controlling obstacle in the departure area. Extending the usable TODA lengths requires the removal of existing objects limiting the usable TODA lengths. (3) Accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA) - the length of runway plus stopway declared available and suitable for satisfying accelerate-stop distance requirements. (4) Landing distance available (LDA) - the length of runway declared available and suitable for satisfying landing distance requirements. 3. FAA APPROVAL FOR APPLYING DECLARED DISTANCES IN AIRPORT DESIGN. The application of declared distances at a specific location requires prior FAA approval on a case-by-case basis. Approval is reflected on the FAA-approved Airport Layout Plan. 275 AC 150/5300-13 CHG 15 12/31/2009 Appendix 14 4. RUNWAY SAFETY AREA (RSA) AND RUNWAY OBJECT FREE AREA (ROFA) LENGTHS. The standard RSA length P in the following paragraphs is the length specified in tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 for the RSA length beyond the runway ends. The standard ROFA length R in the following paragraphs is the length specified in tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 for the ROFA length beyond the runway ends. The RSA and the ROFA shall extend for the full length of the runway plus the greater of the following lengths beyond the runway ends for takeoff and landing in both directions. a. For takeoff. (1) At the start of takeoff end of runway. The RSA and the ROFA need to extend behind the start of takeoff to continue the entrance taxiway safety area and taxiway object free area and/or provide an area for jet blast protection. The portion of runway behind the start of takeoff is unavailable and/or unsuitable for takeoff run, takeoff distance, and accelerate-stop distance computations. (2) At the far end of runway with stopway. The RSA shall extend P and the ROFA shall extend R beyond the far end of stopway. (3) At the far end of runway without stopway. The RSA shall extend P and the ROFA shall extend R beyond the far end of ASDA. The portion of runway beyond the ASDA is unavailable and/or unsuitable for accelerate-stop distance computations. b. For landing. (1) At the approach end of runway. The RSA shall extend P and the ROFA shall extend R before the threshold. The portion of runway behind the threshold is unavailable and/or unsuitable for landing distance computations. (2) At the rollout end of runway. The RSA shall extend P and the ROFA shall extend R beyond the rollout end of LDA. The portion of runway beyond the LOA is unavailable and/or unsuitable for landing distance computations. 5. RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE (RPZ) LOCATION AND SIZE. The RPZ function may be fulfilled by the RPZ beginning at a location other than 200 feet (60 m) beyond the end of the runway. When an RPZ begins at a location other than 200 feet (60 m) beyond the end of runway, two RPZs are required, i.e, a departure RPZ and an approach RPZ. The two RPZs normally overlap. a. Approach RPZ. The approach RPZ shall begin 200 feet (60 m) before the threshold. Table 2-4 contains standard dimensions for approach RPZs. The portion of runway behind the threshold is unavailable and/or unsuitable for landing distance computations. b. Departure RPZ. The departure RPZ shall begin 200 feet (60 m) beyond the far end of TORA. The portion of runway beyond the TORA is unavailable and/or unsuitable for takeoff run computations. The standard dimensions for departure RPZs are: (1) Starting 200 feet (60 m) beyond the far end of TORA, 1,000 feet (300 m) long, 250 feet (75 m) wide, and at the far end of RPZ 450 feet (135 m) wide—for runways serving only small airplanes in Aircraft Approach Categories A and B.

CLEARWAY LOCATION. The clearway is located at the far end of TORA. The portion of runway extending into the clearway is unavailable and\or unsuitable for takeoff run and takeoff distance computations. 7. NOTIF1CATION. The clearway and stopway lengths, if provided, and declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, and LDA) will be provided by the airport owner for inclusion in the Airport/Facility Directory (and in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), for international airports) for each operational runway direction: a. The TORA - the length of the runway less any length of runway unavailable and/or unsuitable for takeoff run computations. See figure A14-l. b. The TODA - the TORA plus the length of any remaining runway and/or clearway beyond the far end of the TORA. See figure A14-2. c. The ASDA - the length of the runway plus the length of any stopway beyond the far end of the runway less any length of runway and/or stopway unavailable and/or unsuitable for accelerate-stop distance computations. See figure A14-3. d. The LDA - the length of the runway less any length of runway unavailable and/or unsuitable for landing distance computations. See figure A14-4. Note: When the threshold is sited for small airplanes (see appendix 2, paragraphs 5a and 5b), report LDA as “LDA for airplanes of 12,500 pounds (5 700 kg) or less maximum certificated takeoff weight.” 276 1/3/08 AC 150/5300-13 CHG 12 Appendix 16 291 Appendix 16. NEW INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURES 1. BACKGROUND. This appendix applies to the establishment of new authorized instrument approach procedures. For purposes of this appendix, an Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) amendment or the establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) instrument procedure "overlaying” an existing authorized instrument procedure does not constitute a new procedure. However, a significant reduction in minima (i.e. ¼ mile reduction in visibility and/or 50 foot reduction in decision altitude or minimum descent altitude) would constitute a new procedure. a. This appendix identifies airport landing surface requirements to assist airport sponsors in their evaluation and preparation of the airport landing surface to support new instrument approach procedures. It also lists the airport data provided by the procedure sponsor that the FAA needs to conduct the airport airspace analysis specified in FAA Order 7400.2, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. The airport must be acceptable for IFR operations based on an Airport Airspace Analysis (AAA), under FAA Order 7400.2. b. FAA Order 8260, TERPS, reflects the contents of this appendix as the minimum airport landing surface requirements that must be met prior to the establishment of instrument approach procedures at a public use airport. This order also references other FAA requirements, such as a safety analysis to determine the need for approach lighting and other visual enhancements to mitigate the effects of a difficult approach environment. This is a consideration regardless of whether or not a reduction in approach minimums is desired. Airport sponsors are always encouraged to consider an approach lighting system to enhance the safety of an instrument procedure. In the absence of any identified benefits or safety enhancement from an approach light system, sponsors should at least consider installing lower cost visual guidance aids such as REIL or PAPI. c. The tables provided in this appendix are for planning purposes only and should be used in conjunction with the rest of the document. All pertinent requirements within this AC and other FAA documents, as well as local siting conditions, ultimately will determine the lowest minimums obtainable. 2. INTRODUCTION. To be authorized a new instrument approach procedure, the runway must have an instrument runway designation. Instrument runways are runway end specific. The runway end designation is based on the findings of an AAA study (Refer to Order 7400.2). In addition, the instrument runway designation for the desired minimums must be depicted on the FAA-approved ALP. If not depicted, a change to the ALP is required. As part of the ALP approval process, the FAA will conduct an AAA study to determine the runway's acceptability for the desired minimums. 3. ACTION. The airport landing surface must meet the standards specified in tables A16-1 A through C, for each specified runway, direction and have adequate airspace to support the instrument approach procedure. When requesting an instrument procedure, the sponsor must specify the runway direction, the desired approach minimums, whether circling approach procedures are desired, and the survey needed to support the procedure. For all obligated National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) airports, the sponsor must also provide a copy of the FAA-approved ALP showing the instrument procedure(s) requested. An ALP is also recommended for all other airports. 4. DEFINITIONS. a. Precision Approach. An instrument approach procedure providing course and vertical path guidance conforming to ILS, or MLS, precision system performance standards contained in ICAO annex 10. Table A16-1A defines the requirements for ILS, LAAS, WAAS, MLS, and other precision systems. b. Approach Procedure with Vertical Guidance (APV). An instrument approach procedure providing course and vertical path guidance that does not conform to ILS or MLS system performance standards contained in ICAO annex 10, or a precision approach system that does not meet TERPS alignment criteria. Table A16-1B defines the requirements for WAAS and authorized barometric VNAV. c. Nonprecision Approach. An instrument approach procedure providing course guidance without vertical path guidance. Table A16-1C defines the requirements for VOR, NDB, LDA, GPS (TS0-129) or other authorized RNAV system. 5. AIRPORT AIRSPACE ANALYSIS SURVEYS. a. Use the standards identified in ACs 150/5300-16, 1505300-17, and 150/5300-18 to survey and compile the appropriate data to support the development of instrument procedures. b. When the runway has or is planned to have an approach that has vertical guidance (ILS, MLS or PAR, APV, LPV, RNP, TLS, LNAV/VNAV, etc.), use the Vertically Guided Airport Airspace Analysis Survey criteria in AC 150/5300-18. c. When the runway has or is planned to have an approach without vertical guidance (VOR, VOR/DME, TACAN, NDB, LNAV, LP, etc.), use the Non- Vertically Guided Airport Airspace Analysis Survey criteria in AC 150/5300-18.

Visibility minimums are subject to application of FAA Order 8260.3 (TERPS) and associated orders or this table, whichever are higher. 2. The HAT indicated is for planning purposes only. Actual obtainable HAT is determined by TERPS. 3. The GQS is applicable to approach procedures providing vertical path guidance. It limits the magnitude of penetration of the obstruction clearance surfaces overlying the final approach course. The intent is to provide a descent path from DA to landing free of obstructions that could destabilize the established glidepath angle. The GQS is centered on a course from the DA point to the runway threshold. Its width is equal to the precision “W” surface at DA, and tapers uniformly to a width 100 feet from the runway edges. If the GQS is penetrated, vertical guidance instrument approach procedures (ILS/MLS/WAAS/LAAS/Baro-VNAV) are not authorized 4. The “W” surface is applicable to precision approach procedures. It is a sloping obstruction clearance surface (OCS) overlying the final approach course centerline. The surface slope varies with glidepath angle. The “W” surface must be clear to achieve lowest precision minimums. Surface slope varies with glide path angle, 102/angle; e.g., for optimum 3º glide path 34:1 surface must be clear. 5. If the W surface is penetrated, HAT and visibility will be increased as required by TERPS. 6. This is a new airport surface (see paragraph 306). 7. An ALP is only required for airports in the NPIAS; it is recommended for all others. 8. Runway edge lighting is required for night minimums. High intensity lights are required for RVR-based minimums. 9. A parallel taxiway must lead to the threshold and, with airplanes on centerline, keep the airplanes outside the OFZ. 10. To achieve lower visibility minimums based on credit for lighting, a TERPS specified approach light system is required. 11. Indicates what chart should be followed in the related chapters of this document. 12. Circling procedures to a secondary runway from the primary approach will not be authorized when the secondary runway does not meet threshold siting (reference Appendix 2), OFZ (reference paragraph 306) criteria, and TERPS Order paragraph 251 criteria. 1/3/08 AC 150/5300-13 CHG 12 Appendix 16 293 Table A16-1B.

Runways less than 3,200 feet are protected by 14 CFR Part 77 to a lesser extent (77.23(a)(2) is not applicable for runways less than 3,200 feet). However runways as short as 2400 feet could support an instrument approach provided the lowest HAT is based on clearing any 200-foot obstacle within the final approach segment. 7. Unpaved runways require case-by-case evaluation by regional Flight Standards personnel. 8. Runway edge lighting is required for night minimums. High intensity lights are required for RVR-based minimums. 9. A parallel taxiway must lead to the threshold and, with airplanes on centerline, keep the airplanes outside the OFZ. 10.

Design Groups are based on wing span or tail height, and Category depends on approach speed of the aircraft as shown below: Design Group Category Group I: Wing span up to 49 ft. Category A: Speed less than 91 knots Group II Wing span 49 ft. up to 73 ft. Category B: Speed 91 knots up to 120 knots Group III: Wing span 79 ft. up to 117 ft. Category C: Speed 121 knots up to 140 knots Group IV: Wing span 113 ft. up to 170 ft. Category D: Speed 141 knots up to 165 knots Group V: Wing span 171 ft. up to 213 ft. Category E: Speed 166 knots or more Group VI: Wing span 214 ft. up to 261 ft. 2. If the runway will only serve small airplanes (12,500 lb. and under) in Design Group I, this dimension may be reduced to 125 feet; however, this dimension should be increased where necessary to accommodate visual navigational aids that may be installed. For example, farming operations should not be allowed within 25 feet of a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) light box. 3. These dimensions reflect the Threshold Siting Surface (TSS) as defined in AC 150/5300-13, Appendix 2. The TSS cannot be penetrated by any object. Under these conditions, the TSS is more restrictive than the OFA, and the dimensions shown here are to prevent penetration of the TSS by crops and farm machinery.
