ground upwards in the area that is shaded black to a distance of 7 km from the end of the runway strip;
           (ii) anywhere from 300 ft (90 m) above the ground (referenced to the aerodrome elevation) in the area that is between 7 km and 8.5 km from the end of the runway strip (the area that is crosshatched);
(c) anywhere from 150 ft (45 m) above the ground (referenced to the aerodrome elevation) in the area that is shaded grey.
       (3) The area that is shaded black, which shows the approach and departure paths and the ground below them, is described as comprising the following:
(a) a symmetrical trapezoids with the shorter side coincident with the ends of a nominal 100 m wide runway strip and extending out at an angle of 15 degrees on either side to a distance of 8.5 km;
(b) a rectangle extending 500 m on either side of the runway centreline and overlying the runway strip until it intersects the trapezoids of the approach and departure paths.
       (4) The area that is shaded grey is an area that extends 3 NM in all directions from the measurement point.
