A Runway Safety Area (RSA) is defined as “the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of
an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway.”
Runway 10L-28R currently meets RSA requirements. Based on the types of aircraft utilizing Runway 10R-28L, the RSA for this runway should be 500’ wide
and extend 1,000’ beyond the runway ends and 600’ prior to the landing threshold. Runway 10R-28L does not meet RSA requirements.
WHAT IS A RUNWAY SAFETY AREA?
