- The distance between the wing bar and the threshold is based on an approach slope of 3° to a level runway with a nominal eye height over the threshold of 15 m. In practice, the threshold to wing bar distance is determined by: a) the selected approach slope; b) the longitudinal slope of the runway; and c) the selected nominal eye height over the threshold.
