§ 4. Airport Zones.

In order to carry out the provisions of this Appendix there are hereby created and established certain zones which include all of the land lying beneath the approach surfaces, transitional surfaces, horizontal surfaces, and conical surfaces as they apply to the Airport. Such zones are shown on the isometric illustrations contained in this part, Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 Imaginary Surfaces Drawing for the Michael J. Smith Field as prepared by the Beaufort-Morehead Airport Authority dated ____________ / ____________ / ____________ , 2001, incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Any area located in more than one of the following zones is considered to be only in the zone with the more restrictive height limitation for purposes of these Regulations. The various zones which are hereby established and defined are as follows:

a.

Utility Runway Visual Approach Zone (Runways 3 and 32). These approach zones are located at the end of the primary surface for Runways 3 and 32, and the inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface (250 feet wide). The approach zone for each runway expands outward uniformly to a width of 1,250 on an approach slope of 20:1 at a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the primary surface. The center line of the approach zone is a continuation of the center line of the runway.

b.

Utility Runway Non Precision Instrument Approach Zone (Runways 21 and 14). This approach zone is located at the end of the primary surface of a runway and the inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. This approach zone expands outwardly at a slope of 20:1 uniformly to a width of 2,000 feet at a horizontal distance 5,000 feet from the primary surface, and the center line of the approach zone is a continuation of the center line of the runway.

c.

Runway Larger than Utility Visual Approach Zone (Runway 8). This approach zone is located at the end of the primary surface of Runway 8, and the inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface of each runway and is 500 feet wide. This approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 1,500 feet at an approach slope of 20:1 and at a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the primary surface. The center line of this approach zone is the continuation of the center line of the runway.

d.

Runway Larger than Utility with a Visibility Minimum Greater than ¾ Mile Non Precision Instrument Approach Zone (Runway 26). This approach zone is located at the end of the primary surface for Runway 26, and the inner edge of this approach zones coincides with the width of the primary surface of the runway and is 500 feet wide each. This approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 3,500 feet at an approach slope of 34:1 at a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the primary surface. The center line of this approach zone is a continuation of the center line of the runway.

e.

Runway Larger than Utility with a Visibility Minimum as Low as ¾ Mile Non Precision Instrument Approach Zone (Inapplicable at the Present). This approach zone is located at the end of the primary surface of a runway with the inner edge of this approach zone coinciding with the width of the primary surface and is 1,000 feet wide. This approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 4,000 feet at an approach slope of 34:1 at a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the primary surface. The center line of this approach zone is the continuation of the center line of the runway.

f.

Precision Instrument Runway Approach Zone (Runway 26). This approach zone is located at the end of the primary surface for Runway 26 and the inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 1,000 feet wide. This approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 16,000 feet at an approach slope of 34:1 at a horizontal distance of 50,000 feet from the primary surface. The center line of the this approach zone is the continuation of the center line of the Runway.

g.

Transitional Zones. These zones are the areas beneath the transitional surfaces.

h.

Horizontal Zone. The horizontal zone is established by swinging arcs of 5,000 feet radii for all runways designated utility or visual, and 10,000 feet for all other runways 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 transitional zones.

i.

Conical Zone. The conical zone is established as the area that commences at the periphery of the horizontal zone and extends outward therefrom a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet.
