ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONES (APZ)[]
APZs are areas on the ground located beyond the clear zone of each runway. They possess a potential for accidents, and their use is restricted in accordance with DODI 4165.57. Table 3-6 shows the dimensional requirements for runway APZs. Layout of APZs is shown in Figure 3-4 for the Army, Figure 3-5 for the Air Force, and Figure 3-6 for the Navy. Navy planners will use OPNAVINST 11010.36B to determine specific AICUZ requirements. For the Air Force, land use guidelines within the clear zone (beyond the graded area) and APZ I and APZ II are provided in AFI 32-7063 and AFH 32-7084.
