1/ Letters correspond to the dimensions on figure 2-1.
These dimensional standards pertain to facilities for only small airplanes.
3/ The separation distance satisfies the requirement that no part of an aircraft
(tail tip, wing tip) at a holding location or on a taxiway centerline is
within the runway safety area or penetrates the obstacle free zone (OFZ).
Accordingly, at higher elevations, an increase to these separation distances
may be needed to achieve this result.
