Which marking is described for a Non-precision approach runway?

• A. non-p - add aiming point and threshold
• B. V - centerline
• C. p - add side stripes and touchdown zone
• D. Aiming point and threshold

Answer: (A)

Non-precision approaches rely on visual runway cues rather than a glide slope, so the markings emphasize where to begin the landing and where to aim for touchdown. The threshold markings show the usable start of the landing portion of the runway, while the aiming point markings provide a fixed reference for where to touch down. Since there is no vertical guidance, touchdown zone markings that indicate a precision approach area aren’t used on a non-precision runway. Centerline is standard on most runways, but it isn’t the distinguishing feature here. So the marking setup described corresponds to adding aiming point and threshold markings for a non-precision approach runway.
