            Note   For Code 3 runways with a width of 30 m, a 150 m wide graded runway strip is recommended.

       (3) For a code 1 runway that has permanent lighting, the graded runway strip width must not be less than 80 m.

       (4) For a non-precision approach runway — the width of the runway strip, including the fly‑over area, must not be less than that shown in Table 6.17 (4).

       (5) In Table 6.17 (4), for a runway with a runway code number mentioned in a row of column 1, the runway strip width, including the fly-over area, is the width mentioned in column 2 for the same row.

      Table 6.17 (4)    Runway strip width, including the fly-over area — non-precision approach runways
Runway Code Number (ARC)  Runway strip width, including the fly‑over area
    1 or 2                140 m
     3 or 4               280 m

       (6) For a precision approach runway — the width of the runway strip, including the fly-over area, must not be less than that shown in Table 6.17 (6).

       (7) In Table 6.17 (6), for a runway with a runway code number mentioned in a row of column 1, the runway strip width, including the fly-over area, is the width mentioned in column 2 for the same row.

6.18 Longitudinal slope on graded area of runway strip

       (1) The design longitudinal slope along the graded area of the runway strip must not exceed:

(a) for a code 4 runway — 1.5%; and

(b) for a code 3 runway — 1.75%; and

(c) for a code 1 or 2 runway — 2.0%.

       (2) The design longitudinal slope values expressed in subsection (1) do not apply at the intersection of a runway strip with another runway strip or a taxiway strip if:

(a) there are conflicting drainage requirements or slope requirements; and

(b) alternative runway strip longitudinal slope values are as follows:

 (i) arrived at after a safety analysis using the safety management system and the risk management plan;

 (ii) as close as practicable to the values expressed in subsection (1);

 (iii) demonstrably safe for aircraft operations;

 (iv) recorded in the aerodrome manual.

6.19 Longitudinal slope changes on graded area of runway strip

       (1) Longitudinal slope changes on the graded area of a runway strip (slope changes) must not exceed 2%.

       (2) The slope changes:

(a) must be gradual; and

(b) must not be abrupt; and

(c) must not involve sudden reversal of slopes.
