2.2.2 Air Navigation and Obstruction Lighting Section 3. Airport Marking Aids and Signs 2.3.1. General a.Airport pavement markings and signs provide information that is useful to a pilot during takeoff, landing, and taxiing. b.Uniformity in airport markings and signs from one airport to another enhances safety and improves efficiency. Pilots are encouraged to work with the operators of the airports they use to achieve the marking and sign standards described in this section. c.Pilots who encounter ineffective, incorrect, or confusing markings or signs on an airport should make the operator of the airport aware of the problem. These situations may also be reported under the Aviation Safety Reporting Program as described in paragraph 7.6.1, Aviation Safety Reporting Pro-gram. Pilots may also report these situations to the FAA regional airports division. d.The markings and signs described in this section of the AIM reflect the current FAA recommended standards. REFERENCE.

For the purpose of this presentation the Airport Pavement Markings have been grouped into four areas: 1.Runway Markings. 2.Taxiway Markings. 3.Holding Position Markings. 4.Other Markings. b. Marking Colors. Markings for runways are white. Markings defining the landing area on a heliport are also white except for hospital heliports which use a red “H” on a white cross. Markings for taxiways, areas not intended for use by aircraft (closed and hazardous areas), and holding positions (even if they are on a runway) are yellow. 2.3.3. Runway Markings a. General. There are three types of markings for runways: visual, nonprecision instrument, and precision instrument. TBL 2.3.1 identifies the marking elements for each type of runway and TBL 2.3.2 identifies runway threshold markings. TBL 2.3.1 Runway Marking Elements Marking Element Visual Runway Nonprecision Instrument Runway Precision Instrument Runway Designation X X X Centerline X X X Threshold X1 X X Aiming Point X2 X X Touchdown Zone X Side Stripes X 1 On runways used, or intended to be used, by international commercial transports. 2 On runways 4,000 feet (1200 m) or longer used by jet aircraft. Airport Marking Aids and Signs 2.3.1 FIG 2.3.1 Precision Instrument Runway Markings b.Runway Designators. Runway numbers and letters are determined from the approach direction. The runway number is the whole number nearest one-tenth the magnetic azimuth of the centerline of the runway, measured clockwise from the magnetic north. The letters, differentiate between left (L), right (R), or center (C), parallel runways, as applicable: 1.For two parallel runways “L” “R.” 2.For three parallel runways “L” “C” “R.” c.Runway Centerline Marking. The runway centerline identifies the center of the runway and provides alignment guidance during takeoff and landings. The centerline consists of a line of uniformly spaced stripes and gaps. d.Runway Aiming Point Marking. The aiming point marking serves as a visual aiming point for a landing aircraft. These two rectangular markings consist of a broad white stripe located on each side of the runway centerline and approximately 1,000 feet from the landing threshold, as shown in FIG 2.3.1, Precision Instrument Runway Markings. e.Runway Touchdown Zone Markers. The touchdown zone markings identify the touchdown zone for landing operations and are coded to provide distance information in 500 feet (150m) increments. These markings consist of groups of one, two, and three rectangular bars symmetrically arranged in pairs about the runway centerline, as shown in FIG 2.3.1, Precision Instrument Runway Markings. For runways having touchdown zone markings on both ends, those pairs of markings which extend to within 900 feet (270m) of the midpoint between the thresholds are eliminated. 2.3.2 Airport Marking Aids and Signs FIG 2.3.2 Nonprecision Instrument Runway and Visual Runway Markings f.Runway Side Stripe Marking. Runway side stripes delineate the edges of the runway. They provide a visual contrast between runway and the abutting terrain or shoulders. Side stripes consist of continuous white stripes located on each side of the runway as shown in FIG 2.3.4. g.Runway Shoulder Markings. Runway shoul-der stripes may be used to supplement runway side stripes to identify pavement areas contiguous to the runway sides that are not intended for use by aircraft. Runway Shoulder stripes are Yellow. (See FIG 2.3.5.)h. Runway Threshold Markings. Runway threshold markings come in two configurations. They either consist of eight longitudinal stripes of uniform dimensions disposed symmetrically about the runway centerline, as shown in FIG 2.3.1, or the number of stripes is related to the runway width as indicated in TBL 2.3.2. A threshold marking helps identify the beginning of the runway that is available for landing. In some instances the landing threshold may be relocated or displaced. TBL 2.3.2 Number of Runway Threshold Stripes Runway Width Number of Stripes 60 feet (18 m) 4 75 feet (23 m) 6 100 feet (30 m) 8 150 feet (45 m) 12 200 feet (60 m) 16 Airport Marking Aids and Signs 2.3.3 1.Relocation of a Threshold. Sometimes construction, maintenance, or other activities require the threshold to be relocated towards the rollout end of the runway. (See FIG 2.3.3.) When a threshold is relocated, it closes not only a set portion of the approach end of a runway, but also shortens the length of the opposite direction runway. In these cases, a NOTAM should be issued by the airport operator identifying the portion of the runway that is closed, e.g., 10/28 W 900 CLSD. Because the duration of the relocation can vary from a few hours to several months, methods identifying the new threshold may vary. One common practice is to use a ten feet wide white threshold bar across the width of the runway. Although the runway lights in the area between the old threshold and new threshold will not be illuminated, the runway markings in this area may or may not be obliterated, removed, or covered. |
