[Background]

To ensure administrative consistency and increase airport safety, the length requirements for Runway End Safety Areas (RESA) are being strengthened. Current "recommendations" are being converted into "mandatory" standards. The amendment also allows for the installation of approved arresting systems (EMAS) where terrain makes RESA installation impossible and clarifies technical terms like "non-instrument runways."

[Main Points]

Strengthening RESA Standards: For Airfield Category 4, the mandatory installation length for the Runway End Safety Area (RESA) is being increased from the current 90m to 240m to significantly enhance aviation safety.
