GM1 ADR-DSN.J.480 Precision approach runways ED Decision 2016/027/R (a) The following obstacle limitation surfaces should be established for a precision approach runway Category I: (1) inner approach surface; (2) inner transitional surfaces; and (3) balked landing surface. (b) See [CS ADR-DSN.T.915](#_DxCrossRefBm1800047534) for information regarding siting of equipment and installations on operational areas. (c) Guidance on obstacle limitation surfaces for precision approach runways is given in ICAO Doc 9137, Airport Services Manual, Part 6, Control of Obstacles. (d) Circumstances in which the shielding principle may reasonably be applied are described in ICAO Doc 9137, Airport Services Manual, Part 6, Control of Obstacles. (e) Because of transverse or longitudinal slopes on a strip, in certain cases the inner edge or portions of the inner edge of the approach surface may be below the corresponding elevation of the strip. It is not intended that the strip be graded to conform with the inner edge of the approach surface, nor is it intended that terrain or objects which are above the approach surface beyond the end of the strip, but below the level of the strip, be removed unless it is considered that they may endanger aeroplanes. (f) For information on code letter F aeroplanes equipped with digital avionics that provide steering commands to maintain an established track during the go-around manoeuvre. Additional guidance is given in ICAO Circular, 301, New Larger Aeroplanes — Infringement of the Obstacle Free Zone.
