AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />Currently, the two Berry hangar facilities located at the approach end of Runway 8 <br />are located within the BRL35 feet. However, according to survey data provided by <br />TXDOT and the FAA, neither of the facilities penetrate the transitional surface for <br />Runway 8/26. <br />The new hangar being constructed in the Taxiway Kilo development area will also <br />be located within the BRL 35 feet and is expected to penetrate both the primary <br />surface and the transitional surface associated with Runway 8/26. <br />All future developments should be located outside of the BRL. Placing buildings <br />inside the BRL is possible if the height of a building is minimized. Locating buildings <br />inside the BRL may hamper the options for expanding the San Marcos Regional <br />Airport in the future. <br />Runway Line-Of-Sight <br />To ensure the safety of aircraft operations at an airport it is imperative that proper <br />lines of sight exist along a single runway and amongst intersecting runways. Proper <br />lines of sight facilitate coordination amongst aircraft and vehicles operating on <br />runway(s) by allowing them to identify the position of other aircraft or vehicles <br />operating on the same runway or on an intersecting runway. <br />On a single runwaywithout a parallel taxiway, an acceptable runway profile permits <br />any two points, generally each runway end, 5 feet above the runway centerline, to <br />be mutually visible for the entire runway length. If the runway offers a full-length <br />parallel taxiway, an unobstructed line of sight should exist from any point 5 feet <br />above the runway centerline to any other point 5 feet above the runway centerline <br />for one-half the runway length. There are no single runway line of sight issues for <br />the runways at the San Marcos Regional Airport. <br />On intersecting runways, an acceptable runway profile permits visibility between <br />established points on each intersecting runway so aircraft operators and vehicle <br />operators can see other aircraft or vehicles operating on the intersecting runway. <br />Runway 8/26 currently intersects Runway 13/31 and Runway 17/35. There are no <br />intersecting runway line of sight issues at the San Marcos Regional Airport. <br />Facility Requirements Chapter Page 25 of 70 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
