See, however, 3.5.11.Slopes on runway end safety areas3.5.8 GeneralRecommendation.— The slopes of a runway end safety area should be such that no part of the runway end safety area penetrates the approach or take-off climb surface.3.5.9 Longitudinal slopesRecommendation.— The longitudinal slopes of a runway end safety area should not exceed a downward slope of 5 per cent. Longitudinal slope changes should be as gradual as practicable and abrupt changes or sudden reversals of slopes avoided.3.5.10 Transverse slopesRecommendation.— The transverse slopes of a runway end safety area should not exceed an upward or downward slope of 5 per cent. Transitions between differing slopes should be as gradual as practicable.Strength of runway end safety areas3.5.11 Recommendation.— A runway end safety area should be so prepared or constructed as to reduce the risk of damage to an aeroplane undershooting or overrunning the runway, enhance aeroplane deceleration and facilitate the movement of rescue and fire fighting vehicles as required in 9.2.30 to 9.2.32.Note.— Guidance on the strength of a runway end safety area is given in the Aerodrome Design Manual (Doc 9157), Part 1.2.
