3 categories of approach surfaces for GA Airports.

Approach Surfaces and Obstruction RemovalSlide3
New State Licensing
3 configurations - based on runway length
< 4,000’
4,000’ – 4,999’
5,000’ +
Meets visual approach criteria from design guide
Surface starts at threshold
Surface should be clear to meet the minimum state licensing criteria
Generally least restrictive of the three surfaces
Airports inspected biennially

Obstruction Removal
obstructions should be removed immediately or removal efforts should be initiated as soon as possible with written plan provided to GDOT by specified date in letter.
if removal is not possible, displace threshold
Documentation of obstructions: biennial inspection letter
Notification

Generally most restrictive, used as screening criteria
6 configurations:
Based on runway category and type of approach
<12,500lb + visual = A(V)
<12,500lb + non-precision = A(NP)
>12,500lb + visual = B(V)
>12,500lb + non-precision @ > ¾ mi visibility = C
>12,500lb + non-precision @ < ¾ mi visibility = D>12,500lb + precision = PIR
Surface starts 200’ from the end of the runway
Surface should be clear to meet FAA 5010 Safety Data Inspection Program criteria

Obstruction Removal
Obstructions should be removed or provide schedule for removal
Documentation of obstructions:
biennial inspection letter
FAA 5010 report
Notification Required
Provide sketch and coordinates of cleared area
Alan Hood, Airport Safety Data Program Manager andGDOT Project Manager
GDOT will coordinate with FAA to remove from FAA database
Part 77 Approach StandardsSlide9
Surface starts 200’ from threshold
20:1 Approach Slope
Obstructions should be mitigated to maintain night minimums
When are procedures reviewed?
Any request for change in approach, name change, LOC-ID change, runway numeral change, etc
FAA performs review of airport’s terminal procedures every 2 years

Obstruction Removal
mitigate obstructions by:
removal
lighting
PAPI waiver – requires FAA Flight Standards approval
obstructions should be mitigated to maintain nighttime procedures.
Obstruction removal previous to “20:1” letter from Flight Procedures.
Sketch and coordinates of cleared area
Alan Hood, Airport Safety Data Program Manager and
GDOT Project Manager
GDOT notifies FAA to update databaseSlide13

Who is Responsible?
Ultimately the Sponsor
State Licensing and Part 77 Inspections: When obstructions are identified in an inspection, they become a liability.
State Licensing surface obstructions
could
lead to denial of license.Slide15
Who is Responsible?
Ultimately the Sponsor
Sponsors are also responsible for ensuring the TERPs Visual Surface is clear. Flight Procedures uses the FAA surveyed obstruction database to review procedures.
Obstructions do not automatically disappear from database with a new survey.
Must submit sketch with coordinates and boundaries of cleared areas to get obstructions removed from database.
***If you have been notified you have obstructions by Flight Procedures – then you validate the obstructions in writing. No survey or coordinates and boundaries required unless you are topping obstructions.Slide16
