NGS Manual  "Runway End, Stopway End, and Displaced Threshold Identification for Surveyors

Runway End, Stopway End, and Displaced Threshold Identification for Surveyors First Edition (January, 1998) This document provides guidelines for accomplishing runway/stopway surveys for theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA).  Accurate runway/stopway surveys are criticalto aircraft and airport operations.  Fundamental to a good survey is the correct identification of runway ends, stopway ends, and displaced thresholds.  In many cases, the location of these points is not intuitively obvious and the precise survey point selection may not be consistent among surveyors.  This document provides guidance for properly locating these critical survey points. This manual has been divided into two files for ease of downloading.  Part One contains the text portion of the manual, and Part Two contains eight color diagrams. The diagrams should be viewed at a high zoom level, and/or printed on a high quality color printer to see the fine detail.
