By: AOPA, Melissa Rudinger January 16, 2008 Re: Comments of Salt Lake Citiy Department of Airports Implementation of the approach surfaces is often very complicated. In some instances, the various regulations conflict (CFR Part 77 - Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace, Advisory Circular - Airspace Design, and TERPS). These three sets of regulations are difficult to administer at a single geographical location. A single set of airspace regulations would help eliminate confusion during implementation on the ground. Increasing restrictions to these surfaces by the FAA has created new issues on the ground, particularly with heights and object penetration to the surfaces. By: Randall Berg Index
