10. .........................
An example of being able to ‘‘combine two airport models to achieve two ‘‘in-use’’ run-
ways:
One runway designated as the ‘‘in use’’ runway in the first model of the airport, and
the second runway designated as the ‘‘in use’’ runway in the second model of the
same airport. For example, the clearance is for the ILS approach to Runway 27, Cir-
cle to Land on Runway 18 right. Two airport visual models might be used: the first
with Runway 27 designated as the ‘‘in use’’ runway for the approach to runway 27,
and the second with Runway 18 Right designated as the ‘‘in use’’ runway. When the
pilot breaks off the ILS approach to runway 27, the instructor may change to the
second airport visual model in which runway 18 Right is designated as the ‘‘in use’’
runway, and the pilot would make a visual approach and landing. This process is ac-
ceptable to the FAA as long as the temporary interruption due to the visual model
change is not distracting to the pilot, does not cause changes in navigational radio
frequencies, and does not cause undue instructor/evaluator time.

Sponsors are not required to provide every detail of a runway, but the detail that is
provided should be correct within the capabilities of the system.
