Airport Design
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) – Enhances protection of people and
property on the ground Runway Safety Area (RSA) –
Enhances safety of aircraft that overshoot, undershoot, or veer off a runway
Object Free Area (OFA) – Requires protruding objects to be
cleared from the edges of the safety area
Building Restriction Line (BRL) – Identifies suitable building area
locations on airports
