17.3.6 Runway Side Stripe Marking. Runway side stripes delineate the edges of the runway. They provide a visual contrast between the runway and the abutting terrain or shoulders. Side stripes consist of continuous white stripes located on each side of the runway. (See FIG AD 1.1.17.)
17.3.7 Runway Shoulder Markings. Runway shoulder stripes may be used to supplement runway side stripes to identify pavement areas contiguous to the runway sides that are not intended for use by aircraft. Runway shoulder stripes are yellow. (See FIG AD 1.1.15.)
17.3.8 Runway Threshold Markings. Runway threshold markings come in two configurations. They consist of either eight longitudinal stripes of uniform dimensions disposed symmetrically about the runway centerline, as shown in FIG AD 1.1.13, or the number of stripes is related to the runway width as indicated in TBL AD 1.1.6. A threshold marking helps identify the beginning of the runway that is available for landing. In some instances the landing threshold may be relocated or displaced.
17.3.8.1 Relocation of a Threshold. Sometimes construction, maintenance, or other activities require the threshold to be relocated towards the rollout end of the runway. (See FIG AD 1.1.16.) When a threshold is relocated, it closes not only a set portion of the approach end of a runway, but also shortens the length of the opposite direction runway. In these cases, a NOTAM should be issued by the airport operator identifying the portion of the runway that is closed; e.g., 10/28 W 900 CLSD. Because the duration of the relocation can vary from a few hours to several months, methods identifying the new threshold may vary. One common practice is to use a ten.foot wide white threshold bar across the width of the runway. Although the runway lights in the area between the old threshold and new threshold will not be illuminated, the runway markings in this area may or may not be obliterated, removed, or covered.
17.3.8.2 Displaced Threshold. A displaced thresh-old is a threshold located at a point on the runway other than the designated beginning of the runway. Displacement of a threshold reduces the length of runway available for landings. The portion of runway behind a displaced threshold is available for takeoffs in either direction and landings from the opposite direction. A ten.foot wide white threshold bar is located across the width of the runway at the displaced threshold. White arrows are located along the centerline in the area between the beginning of the runway and displaced threshold. White arrowheads are located across the width of the runway just prior to the threshold bar, as shown in FIG AD 1.1.17.
NOTE.
Airport operator. When reporting the relocation or displacement of a threshold, the airport operator should avoid language which confuses the two.
17.3.9 Demarcation Bar. A demarcation bar delin-eates a runway with a displaced threshold from a blast pad, stopway, or taxiway that precedes the runway. A demarcation bar is 3 feet (1 m) wide and yellow, since it is not located on the runway. (See FIG AD 1.1.18.)
17.3.10 Chevrons. These markings are used to show pavement areas aligned with the runway that are unusable for landing, takeoff, and taxiing. Chevrons are yellow. (See FIG AD 1.1.19).
