               In order to carry out the provisions of this ordinance, there are hereby created and
               established certain zones which include all of the land lying within the primary zones,
               instrument approach zones, noninstrument approach zones, transition zones, horizontal
               zone and conical zone. Such areas and zones are shown on the New Hanover County Airport
               Height Zoning Map dated December, 1971, which is attached to this ordinance and made
               a part hereof.

<sup>[2]</sup> The various zones are hereby established and defined as follows:
               
               
               <p class="incr1">

               <p class="content2">
                  <span class="ital">Primary zone.</span> A surface longitudinally centered on the runway, extending 200 feet beyond the end
                  of that runway (the end of the runway does not include any overruns or blast pads).
                  The width of the primary zone is 1,000 feet for both precision instrument runways
                  (23 and 34) and for category "D" non-precision instrument runways (5 and 16). This
                  primary zone extends for a distance of 500 feet on either side of the runway centerline
                  and at right angles thereto.
                  </p>
               		
               
               <p class="incr1">

               <p class="content2">
                  <span class="ital">Instrument approach zone.</span> A zone longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline and extending outward
                  and upward from each end of the primary zone. An approach zone is applied to each
                  end of each runway based upon the type of approach available or planned for that runway
                  end.
                  </p>

               <p class="content3">
                  <span class="ital">Precision instrument approach zone.</span> The inner edge of the approach zone is the same width as the primary zone (1,000
                  feet) and it expands uniformly to a width of 16,000 feet. The approach zone extends
                  for a horizontal distance of 50,000 feet beyond the primary zone, its centerline being
                  a continuation of the centerline of the runway. This applies to existing precision
                  instrument Runway 34 and to existing Runway 23 for future precision instrument status.

                  <span class="ital">Non-precision instrument approach zone.</span> This approach zone is used on runways in category "D" (visibility minimums as low
                  as three-fourths mile). The inner edge of the approach zone is the same width as the
                  primary zone (1,000 feet) and it expands uniformly to a width of 4,000 feet. The approach
                  zone extends for a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet beyond the primary zone, its
                  centerline being a continuation of the centerline of the runway. This applies to existing
                  Runways 5 and 16.

                  <span class="ital">Transitional zone.</span> Transitional zones are established adjacent to the primary zone and approach zones
                  as indicated on the zoning map. Transitional zones symmetrically located on either
                  side of the primary zone and approach zones have variable widths as shown on the zoning
                  map. These zones extend outward and upward at right angles to the runway centerline
                  and the runway centerline extended at a slope of 7 to 1 from the sides of the primary
                  zone and from the sides of the approach zones for their entire lengths. Within the
                  confines of the periphery of the horizontal zone, the transitional zone extends at
                  a slope of 7 to 1 until it has reached an elevation of 150 feet above the established
                  airport elevation (intersects the horizontal zone). The transitional zone along the
                  approach zones flare symmetrically along either side and slope outward and upward
                  at a slope of 7 to 1 until they intersect the horizontal zone.

                  Transitional zones for those portions of the precision instrument approach zone which
                  project through and beyond the limits of the conical zone are parallel to the approach
                  zone outer limits and extend a distance of 5,000 feet on each side of the approach
                  zone as measured horizontally from the edge of the approach zone and at right angles
                  to the runway centerline extended. These transitional zones intersect and are terminated,
                  as shown on the airport height zoning map at the periphery of the conical zone.

                  tangent to those arcs.
