Documented Points
- Threshold:—
- RPI (DTHR on Heading):—
- Centerline Point (RPI + distance):—
- Radar Point (offset LEFT/RIGHT):—
LAT / LON Points
- (1) Landing Threshold (centerline):—
- (2) Runway Point of Intercept (RPI) (centerline):—
- (3) Centerline Point closest to PAR antenna:—
- (4) Departure End of Runway (centerline):—
- (5a/5b) PAR Antenna site:—
- (6a) Reflector Right of Runway:—
- (6b) Reflector Left of Runway:—
- (7) Displaced Threshold (centerline):—
Reflectors are computed from RPI + perpendicular offsets.
