Subpart A—General 

§ 77.1

Purpose. 

This part establishes: 
(a) The requirements to provide no-

tice to the FAA of certain proposed 
construction, or the alteration of exist-
ing structures; 

(b) The standards used to determine 

obstructions to air navigation, and 
navigational and communication fa-
cilities; 

(c) The process for aeronautical stud-

ies of obstructions to air navigation or 
navigational facilities to determine the 
effect on the safe and efficient use of 
navigable airspace, air navigation fa-
cilities or equipment; and 

(d) The process to petition the FAA 

for discretionary review of determina-
tions, revisions, and extensions of de-
terminations. 

§ 77.3

Definitions. 

For the purpose of this part: 

Non-precision instrument runway 

means a runway having an existing in-
strument approach procedure utilizing 
air navigation facilities with only hori-
zontal guidance, or area type naviga-
tion equipment, for which a straight-in 
non-precision instrument approach 
procedure has been approved, or 
planned, and for which no precision ap-
proach facilities are planned, or indi-
cated on an FAA planning document or 
military service military airport plan-
ning document. 

Planned or proposed airport 

is an air-

port that is the subject of at least one 
of the following documents received by 
the FAA: 

(1) Airport proposals submitted under 

14 CFR part 157. 

(2) Airport Improvement Program re-

quests for aid. 

(3) Notices of existing airports where 

prior notice of the airport construction 
or alteration was not provided as re-
quired by 14 CFR part 157. 

(4) Airport layout plans. 
(5) DOD proposals for airports used 

only by the U.S. Armed Forces. 

(6) DOD proposals on joint-use (civil- 

military) airports. 

(7) Completed airport site selection 

feasibility study. 

Precision instrument runway 

means a 

runway having an existing instrument 
approach procedure utilizing an Instru-
ment Landing System (ILS), or a Pre-
cision Approach Radar (PAR). It also 
means a runway for which a precision 
approach system is planned and is so 
indicated by an FAA-approved airport 
layout plan; a military service ap-
proved military airport layout plan; 
any other FAA planning document, or 
military service military airport plan-
ning document. 

Public use airport 

is an airport avail-

able for use by the general public with-
out a requirement for prior approval of 
the airport owner or operator. 

Seaplane base 

is considered to be an 

airport only if its sea lanes are out-
lined by visual markers.
