source of suitable primary power.

and that are intended for use as instrument approach aids for an airport,
there must be ground-air communications or reliable communications (at
least a landline telephone) from the
airport to the nearest Federal Aviation
Administration air traffic control or
communication facility. Compliance
with this paragraph need not be shown
at airports where an adjacent Federal
Aviation Administration facility can
communicate with aircraft on the

where extensive delays are not a factor, the requirements of this paragraph
may be reduced to reliable communications (at least a landline telephone)
from the airport to the nearest Federal
Aviation Administration air traffic
control or communications facility, if
an adjacent Federal Aviation Administration facility can communicate with
aircraft during the proposed instrument approach procedure, at least
down to the minimum en route altitude for the controlled airspace area.
