point along its longitudinal profile, coincident with the runway
centerline or centerline prolongations as appropriate. The

with Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77 and shall be specified
on each map adopted pursuant to Section 17.45.030.

elevation or to the conical subzone surface, whichever is higher.
E. HORIZONTAL SUBZONE (H): A horizontal plane surface,
and the airspace above it, one hundred fifty (150) feet above the
established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed
by swinging arcs of specific radii, established in accordance

each end of the landing subzone of each runway and connecting the
arcs by lines ~angent to such arcs.
The Horizontal Subzone does not include the Landing
Transition Subzones.
