|
09/30/2000 |
| 7 |
Change 7 - Airport Design
Provides new guidance consistent with Runway Safety Area Program requirments, clarifies nighttime threshold siting requirements, and revises new instrument approach procedures and requirements for preparing airport layout plans.

| 8 |
Change 8 - Airport Design
Removes Precision Object Free Area (POFA) and establishes Precision Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ), changes standards for the Runway Safety Area, and revises Appendix 2 to allow for greater flexibility in threshold siting criteria.

| 10 |
Change 10 - Airport Design
Adds information about tail heights and a table specifying wingspan and tail heights for each Airplane Design Group to Chapter 1, a paragraph about End-Around Taxiways and associated figures and tables to Chapter 4, and a new Appendix 17, Minimum Distances Between Certain Airport Features and Any On-Airport Agriculture Crops. Includes changes to Chapter 1; Tables 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3; Chapter 4; Appendix 2, and Appendix 16. Cancels Appendices 6 and 7. See also Errata Sheet below.

| 12 |
Change 12 - Airport Design
Reschedules the One Engine Inoperative (OEI) implementation date from January 1, 2008, to January 1, 2009. Also requires end-around taxiway projects to be pre-approved by the Office of Airport Safety and Standards, Airport Engineering Division; changes the applicability of Appendix 2, paragraph 3b, to allow the use of these standards to object to objects affecting navigable airspace relative to 14 CFR Part 77; and identifies what Airport Airspace Analysis Survey criteria to use based on current or planned instrument approaches serving the runway ends.

Change 13 - Airport Design
Moves data from Table 1 of Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5340-18D, Standards for Airport Sign Systems, into Tables 2-1 and 2-2 of this AC. A new paragraph 213 includes the information from Table 1 and additional information about this change.
|

| 14 |
Change 14 - Airport Design
This Change reschedules the One Engine Inoperative (OEI) implementation date from January 1, 2009, to January 1, 2010.
|
11/01/2008 |
| 15 |
Change 15 - Airport Design
Reschedules the One Engine Inoperative (OEI) implementation date from January 1, 2009, to January 1, 2010. The change also (1) revises table 1-1 to remove the increase in RSA width for an airport reference code (ARC) upgrade from aircraft approach category C to D due to an increase in airport elevation, (2) revises table 2-2 to increase 1 foot per 100 feet increase above sea level all distances for all items for Aircraft Approach Category D to comply with Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS), and (3) revises Appendix 14 to include the use of declared distances when the runway threshold is displaced due to obstructions and to clarify the airport owner’s responsibility to provide declared distances for inclusion in the Airport/Facility Directory for each operational runway direction.
