A dedicated attribute (VerticalStructurePart.frangible) allows coding the information that the obstacle is 'frangible', which is an operationally significant data element. This attribute is at the level of the obstacle part. For multi-part obstacles, it is quite common that only some parts are considered frangible, For example, an antenna on top of a building could be considered a frangible element, while the building is not. This information can be useful only if the elevation of both frangible and non-frangible parts is provided, so that the data user can decide which one is used in calculations, depending on their rules and practices.
Information about frangibility of the obstacle needs to be provided only for obstacles situated in the vicinity of the runways, in particular for obstacles in the Clearway (CWY) and the Runway End Safety Area (RESA).
