CS ADR-DSN.B.070 Sight distance for slopes on runways

ED Decision 2014/013/R

(a) The safety objective of minimum runway sight distance values is to achieve the necessary visibility to enable safe use of runway by an aircraft.

(b) Where slope changes on runways cannot be avoided, they should be such that there should be an unobstructed line of sight from:

(1) any point 3 m above a runway to all other points 3 m above the runway within a distance of at least half the length of the runway where the code letter is C, D, E, or F;

(2) any point 2 m above a runway to all other points 2 m above the runway within a distance of at least half the length of the runway where the code letter is B; and

(3) any point 1.5 m above a runway to all other points 1.5 m above the runway within a distance of at least half the length of the runway where the code letter is A.
