IR Implementing rule

## CS ADR-DSN.H.460 Balked landing surface

(a) Applicability: The purpose of the [balked landing](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/balked-landing) surface is to protect balked landing.

(b) Description: An inclined plane located at a specified distance after the [threshold](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/threshold), extending between the inner transitional surfaces.

(c) Characteristics: The limits of the balked landing surface should comprise:

(1) an inner edge horizontal and perpendicular to the centre line of the [runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/runway) and located at a specified distance after the threshold;

(2) two sides originating at the ends of the inner edge and diverging uniformly at a specified rate from the vertical plane containing the centre line of the runway; and

(3) an outer edge parallel to the inner edge and located in the plane of the inner horizontal surface.

(d) The elevation of the inner edge should be equal to the elevation of the runway centre line at the location of the inner edge.

(e) The slope of the balked landing surface should be measured in the vertical plane containing the centre line of the runway.
