TALL STRUCTURE ACT (EXCERPT) Act 259 of 1959 259.482c Width of approach surface; outward and upward extension of approach surface. Sec. 2c.

(1)Based upon the most precise approach available or planned for the end of a runway, the width of the approach surface at the end of the primary surface equals the width of the primary surface and expands uniformly to the following maximum width:

(a)For the end of a utility runway, which end has only a visual approach procedure 1,200 feet (b) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has only a visual approach procedure 1,500 feet (c) For the end of a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach procedure 2,000 feet (d) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach proced

(b) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a nonprecision instrument approach procedure, a slope of 34 to 1 for 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface. (c) For the end of other than a utility runway, which end has a precision instrument approach procedure, a slope of 50 to 1 for 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface and, from that point, a slope of 40 to 1 for an additional 40,000 feet.
