IR Implementing rule

## CS ADR-DSN.B.190 Strength of runway strips

(a) That portion of a strip of an [instrument runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/instrument-runway) within a distance of at least:

(1) 75 m where the code number is 3 or 4; and

(2) 40 m where the code number is 1 or 2;

from the centre line of the [runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/runway) and its extended centre line should be prepared or constructed so as to minimise hazards arising from differences in load-bearing capacity to aeroplanes which the runway is intended to serve in the event of an [aeroplane](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aeroplane) running off the runway.

(b) That portion of a strip containing a [non-instrument runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/non-instrument-runway) within a distance of at least:

(1) 75 m where the code number is 3 or 4;

(2) 40 m where the code number is 2; and

(3) 30 m where the code number is 1;

from the centre line of the runway and its extended centre line should be prepared or constructed so as to minimise hazards arising from differences in load-bearing capacity to aeroplanes which the runway is intended to serve in the event of an aeroplane running off the runway.
