§ 3-120.1. Short title - Aircraft Pilot and Passenger Protection

Act.

A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Aircraft

Pilot and Passenger Protection Act".

B. It is the intent of this act to:

1. Regulate obstructions to air navigation that have the

potential of endangering the lives and property of aircraft pilots

and passengers and those that live or work in the vicinity of

public-use airports; that may affect existing and future instrument

approaches to a public-use airport; and that may reduce the size of

areas available for the landing, takeoff and maneuvering of aircraft

thus impairing the utility of a public-use airport and the public

investment therein;

2. Regulate the use of land in close proximity to a public-use

airport to ensure compatibility with aircraft operations; and

3. Provide specific powers and duties to the Oklahoma

Aeronautics Commission in the interest of the health, safety and

welfare of the public so that the state may properly fulfill its

duty to ensure that land use around a public-use airport is

compatible with normal airport operations including the landing and

takeoff of aircraft.

C. All heights or surfaces set forth in this act are from the

standards set forth in Subpart C of Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR) Part 77.

D. Depending upon the type of survey used, an adjustment will

be made in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration standards

to the horizontal and vertical measurements of the proposed

structure as follows:

a licensed engineer or a licensed surveyor, a horizontal adjustment

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports

of plus or minus two hundred fifty (250) feet and a vertical

adjustment of fifty (50) feet will be applied to the structure

measurements.

E. This act shall neither prevent nor preempt a municipality

from having ordinances or regulations governing land use that may

affect public-use airports.
