AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />Based on the established annual rate of change, runway designation changes may <br />be needed for Runway 8/26 and/or Runway 17/35 during the long range portion <br />(10+ years) of the planning horizon. <br />updated and is not anticipated to require further change during the planning <br />period. <br />Compliance with airport design standards is vitally important because compliance <br />with these standards aids an airport in maintaining a minimum level of operational <br />safety. The major airport design elements are established by FAA AC 150/5300-13 <br />(current series). Ideally, airports should conform with all established FAA airport <br />design standards without requiring a Modification to Standards (MOS). Frequently <br />this is not possible as many airports have infrastructure that was designed before <br />the current design standards were established. In these cases, airport operators <br />are generally required to improve the facilities to the new design standards if they <br />accept FAA grant funds to rehabilitate or improve thatparticularfacility. <br />Table 4-10, Current Runway Design, provides an overview of the FAA Design <br />Standards and the current runway facilities at the San Marcos Regional Airport. <br />TABLE 4-10 <br />CURRENT RUNWAY DESIGN <br />SAN MARCOS REGIONAL AIRPORT <br />ItemFAA Design Runway FAA Design Runway Runway <br />Standard (C-II)13/31Standard (B-II)17/358/26 <br />Runway Design: <br />Width (ft)10010075100100 <br />RSA Width (ft)500500150150150 <br />RSA Length beyond R/W end (ft)10001000300300300 <br />OFA Width (ft)800800500500500 <br />OFA Length beyond R/W end (ft)10001000300300300 <br />ROFZ Width (ft)400400400400400 <br />ROFZ Length beyond R/W end (ft)200200200200200 <br />Runway Setbacks -Runway Centerline to: <br />Parallel Taxiway Centerline (ft)400630240N/A630 <br />Holdline (ft)250250-290200200250-320 <br />Aircraft Parking Area (ft)500705250N/A710 <br />Source:FAA AC 150/5300-13. <br />Currently, the San Marcos Regional Airport has no deficiencies related to its current <br />runway width, Runway Safety Areas (RSA), Runway Object Free Areas (ROFA), <br />Runway Obstacle Free Zones (ROFZ), runway to parallel taxiway separation, runway <br />hold position marking location, and aircraft parking area separation standards <br />Facility Requirements Chapter Page 13 of 70 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
