Ill. Admin. Code tit. 92, § 16.40 - Surfaces and Height Limitations
a) Height limitations are established through
the use of airport imaginary surfaces as described in Sections
16.50 -
16.110.
The size of an imaginary surface relates to the category of aircraft expected
to use the runway and the type of approach available or planned for that
runway. The slope and dimension of the approach surface applied to each end of
a runway will be determined by the most precise approach, existing or planned,
for that runway end.
b) Airport
imaginary surfaces are described in Sections
16.50 -
16.110. Because these surfaces are the same as the approach surfaces in 14 CFR
77, effective October 1, 2002, an airport airspace drawing sheet of the
currently approved ALP will serve as the visual representation of the imaginary
surfaces for each airport (see Section 16.Appendix A). These drawing sheets can
be viewed at the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of
Aeronautics, Capital Airport, 1 Langhorne Bond Drive, Springfield, Illinois
62707.
c) An area located in more
than one of the surfaces described in Sections
16.50 -
16.120
is considered to be only in the surface with the most restrictive height
limitation.
d) Except as otherwise
provided in this Part, no structure , equipment, vegetation, or material shall
be erected, placed, altered, allowed to grow, or maintained at a height in
excess of the limit established by the surfaces described in Sections
16.50 -
16.120. Additionally, no use may be made of any area under a surface described
in this Part that would constitute an airport hazard , as that term is defined
in Section
16.130.
e) The surfaces and height limitations
established by this Part take into consideration future alterations of an
airport, including runway relocation, extension, and new construction , as well
as changes in runway approaches. No person may cause or allow a structure or
vegetation to penetrate a surface associated with a planned change at an
airport covered by this Part or penalties will be imposed. Future changes
planned by an airport may be found on the ALP which can be viewed by contacting
the airport owner or the Division.
