AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />lower IAP minimums will be needed during the forecast period. As a result, it is not <br />anticipated that the San Marcos Regional Airport will need to add runway centerline <br />lights or touchdown zone lights during the forecast period. <br />Runway Markings <br />Runway 13/31 has precision instrument runway markings that are in good <br />condition. Runway 8/26 and Runway 17/35 have non-precision instrument <br />markings that were recently repainted and are in good condition. Based on an <br />evaluation of future instrument approach needs at the airport it is not expected <br />that the existing runway marking schemes (e.g. precision, non-precision, etc.) for <br />any of the runways will need to be changed during the forecast period. <br />However, a marking deficiency was noted as part of the facility requirements <br />analysis. Since Runway 17/35 is used as a taxiway to reach the approach end of <br />Runway 26, painted runway hold position markings should be installed on Runway <br />17/35 to protect aircraft using Runway 8/26. This will be a consideration in the <br />alternatives analysis. <br />Runway Signage <br />In general, the existing runway signage for the San Marcos Regional Airport is <br />sufficient. However, Runway 17/35 has a single mandatory runway hold position <br />sign on each side of its intersection with Runway 8/26. Since Runway 17/35 is used <br />as a taxiway to taxi to/from the approach end of Runway 26, there should be two <br />mandatory runway hold position signs on each side of intersection <br />with Runway 8/26. This will be a consideration as part of the alternatives analysis. <br />Taxiway Lighting, Marking, and Signage <br />All taxiways at San Marcos Regional Airport have taxiway centerline markings. The <br />markings are generally in good to fair condition. Additionally, all taxiways at the <br />Airport have Medium Intensity Taxiway Lights (MITLs) that are in good condition. <br />Airfield signage related to the taxiway system is generally sufficient and provides <br />accurate wayfinding to pilots. <br />However, through stakeholder feedback, it was noted that additional markings <br />and/or signage may be needed at Taxiway Alpha and Charlie intersection adjacent <br />Facility Requirements Chapter Page 48 of 70 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
