Runway 4-22 Runway Safety Area (RSA) Improvements

Blue Grass Airport

Lexington, KY

Owner: Lexington Fayette Urban County Airport Board

AVCON provided airside civil, lighting and NAVAID design and is currently providing construction phase services for this RSA project that includes safety area improvements incorporating the construction of safety areas at both ends of the runway, relocation of a road and creek, relocation of secured perimeter roads, the 325-foot extension of the runway and taxiway, installation and relocation of NAVAIDs, and rehabilitation of the runway and parallel taxiway. The 7,000-foot runway will then be centered on the 8,200-foot platform with 600-foot RSA's on both ends for departures. For arrivals, reducing the available landing length to 6,600 feet is to provide, in both directions, a 600-foot RSA for the approach end, and a 1,000-foot RSA for the rollout end. Modified and declared distances in combination with runway edge lighting techniques will be utilized to provide a minimum of 1,000-foot RSA's at the rollout ends of the runway for arriving aircraft.
