Section 50. Placement of airport or heliport facilities

Latest version.

No airport runways, heliports, or similar facilities either private or commercial, shall be placed adjacent to highway rights of way in such a manner as to impede the safe flow of vehicular traffic. Runways or similar facilities shall be placed a proper distance to allow a minimum glide slope for aircraft of 3° approaching said runway, or at a height over the roadway of 30 feet, whichever is greater. All airports or heliports, or both, proposed in the vicinity of highway rights of way shall take these minimum road clearances into consideration when planning the location of the end of their runways.
