The maximum allowable height shall be increased at the rate of one foot vertically to each 20 feet horizontally to a maximum height of 150 feet.

(b)

TRANSITION ZONES NO. ONE, NO. TWO are inclined planes with a slope of seven feet horizontally to one foot vertically measured upward and outward in a vertical plane at right angles to the center line of the runway.
