- The Approach Surface is aligned longitudinally with the runway, 200 feet from the runway threshold, and flares outward to a certain distance.
- The Horizontal Surface is 150 feet above the runway elevation.
- The Conical Surface has a distance of 20,000 feet.
- The FAA issues a Notice of Presumed Hazard (NPH) when a proposed construction or alteration will exceed an obstruction standard and have a substantial aeronautical impact.
Airport Land Use
- The Airport Influence Area is intended to provide protection of residential and non-residential land uses in areas that may be subjected to frequent overflights.
