Runway Threshold Marking.- Purpose.
A runway threshold marking, commencing 6 m from the actual start point of the runway threshold,
closely identifies the actual beginning point of the runway threshold used for landings. - Location.
The runway threshold marking starts 6 m from the actual start point of the runway threshold as
shown in Figure 10- 4. All dimensions as FAA requirements - Color.
The FAA requires that components of runway threshold markings are white. - Characteristics.
The runway threshold marking consists of a pattern of longitudinal stripes of uniform dimensions
spaced symmetrically about the runway centerline. The number of longitudinal stripes and their
spacing is determined by the runway width. Table 10 - 2 provides the number of longitudinal stripes
for runways having a width of 6 0 m, (as defined in Section 7.2.1), which is 16 strips.
