17、ck.5.1.3 The grading of the airport shall be such that allshoulders and slopes drain away from runways, taxiways, andall paved areas.5.1.4 An airport should have smooth, well drained opera-tional areas with sufficient stability to permit the safe move-ment of recreational aircraft.5.1.5 U.S. Federal
18、 RequirementsNotification of the intentto establish an airpark is required under the provisions of FARPart 157. FAA Form 7480-1, which is used to provide thisnotice (as well as guidance in its preparation), is available fromany FAA Regional Airports Division or Airports District/FieldOffice.5.1.6 Lo
19、cal RequirementsMost communities have estab-lished zoning laws, building codes, fire regulations, and otherlegal requirements to provide for the safety and comfort of thecitizenry. A thorough study of these requirements should bemade to determine their effect on the establishment andoperation of an
20、airpark.6. Airpark Geometry6.1 Runway location and orientation are important to airportsafety, efficiency, economics, and environmental impact. Theweight and degree of concern given to each of the followingfactors depend, in part, on: the meteorological conditions; thesurrounding environment; topogr
21、aphy; and the volume of airtraffic expected at the airpark.6.2 WindAppendix X1 provides information on wind dataanalysis for airport planning and design. Such an analysisconsiders the wind velocity and direction as related to theexisting and forecasted operations. It may also consider windby time of
22、 day.6.3 Airspace AvailabilityCheck with the respective CivilAviation Authority to ensure the airpark location will notinterfere with existing and planned approach and departureprocedures, control zones, special use airspace, restrictedairspace, and traffic patterns currently established for otherav
23、iation facilities.6.4 Obstructions to Air NavigationAn obstruction surveyshould identify those objects that may affect aircraft opera-tions. Approaches free of obstructions are desirable and en-couraged, but as a minimum, locate and orient runways toensure that the approach areas associated with the
24、 ultimatedevelopment of the airport are clear of hazards to air naviga-tion.6.5 Wildlife HazardsIn orienting runways, consider therelative locations of bird sanctuaries, sanitary landfills, or otherareas that may attract large numbers of birds or wildlife.7. Runway Design and Marking7.1 Runway Dimen
25、sions:7.1.1 Airparks Supporting Light Sport Airplanes, Weight-Shift, or Gyroplane Aircraft, or a Combination Thereof:7.1.1.1 Minimum length (LR) is to be twice the demon-strated or published minimum landing distance of the aircraftto be served or 275 m (902 ft) at sea level, whichever is greater.Run
26、way lengths above sea level should be increased at a rateof 25 m (82 ft) per 300 m (984 ft) of airport elevation. Runwaylength is measured from threshold to threshold. See Fig. 1.7.1.1.2 Width shall be a minimum of 10 m (33 ft) forunpaved runways and a minimum of 6 m (19.7 ft) for pavedrunways.7.1.1
27、.3 A minimum runway safety area 10 m (33 ft) eachside of the centerline extended 75 m (246 ft) past each runwaythreshold shall be established.7.1.1.4 Except for runway and navigational markings, nostructure, trees, road, or designated aircraft parking area shouldbe located within the runway safety a
28、rea.7.1.1.5 For approach end of runways, a runway protectionzone shall be maintained clear of obstruction in accordancewith the following description:(1) No object should penetrate a surface that starts at theedge of the threshold and at the elevation of the runwaycenterline at the threshold and slo
29、pes upward at a slope 15(horizontal) to 1 (vertical). See Fig. 2.7.1.1.6 In the plan view, the centerline of this surfaceextends 1000 m (3280 ft) along the extended runway centerlinestarting at the end of the runway. This surface extends laterally16 m (52 ft) on each side of the runway centerline st
30、arting atthe end of runway and increases in width to 45 m (147 ft) at apoint 1000 m (3280 ft) from the end of the runway. See Fig. 2.7.1.2 Powered Parachute Designated Landing Area (seeFig. 3):7.1.2.1 Airparks establishing a separate landing area forpowered parachutes shall designate a circular land
31、ing area witha minimum radius of 45 m (147 ft). See Fig. 3.7.1.2.2 A safety area with a radius of a minimum of 76 m(249 ft) shall be established. See Fig. 3.7.1.2.3 In cases where 95 % or greater of the daytimeprevailing winds occur within a 60 degree arc or the inverse ofthat arc, or both, the cros
32、swind segment of both the landingarea and safety area may be reduced. The reduced width ismeasured as a width either side of a straight line drawn in thecenter of the 60 degree arc of 26 m (85 ft) for the landing areaand 44 m (144 ft) for the safety area. See Fig. 4.7.1.2.4 Except for runway and nav
33、igational marking, nostructure, trees, road, or designated aircraft parking area shouldbe located within the runway safety area.7.1.2.5 The designated landing area for powered parachutesmay overlap a runway as described in 7.1, where an airparkoperator wishes to support both types of aircraft on the
34、 samelanding surfaces.7.1.2.6 If prevailing winds allow and an airpark owner sodesignates, the airpark may support powered parachute landingtraffic on a runway in place of a powered parachute landingarea.F2507 05 (2010)27.2 Runways should be marked with white paint or whitecolored break-off markers

Iftaxiways are established, then the following minimum stan-dards shall be met.8.1.1 Each taxiway shall be at least 3 m (10 ft) wide.8.2 Each taxiway shall
37、 have a taxiway safety area of 10 m(33 ft) each side of the center line.8.3 Except for taxiway and navigational marking, no struc-ture, trees, or designated aircraft parking area should be locatedwithin the taxiway safety area.8.4 Taxiways should be marked with blue colored markerssuch as plastic hi
38、ghway cones or break-off markers.9. Threshold Sighting9.1 GeneralThe threshold should be located at the begin-ning of the marked runway surface. However, displacement ofthe threshold may be required when an object that obstructs theairspace required for landing aircraft is beyond the airportowners p
39、ower to remove, relocate, or lower. Thresholds mayalso be displaced for environmental considerations, such asnoise abatement.9.1.1 Displacement of a threshold reduces the length ofrunway available for landings. Depending on the reason fordisplacement of the threshold, the portion of the runway behin
40、da displaced threshold may be available for takeoffs in eitherdirection or landings from the opposite direction.10. Buildings and Airplane Parking10.1 GeneralBuildings or hangars, or both, are to beconstructed a minimum of 45 m (149 ft) from the runwaycenterline.10.2 An area to park automobiles shou

Traffic Patterns11.1 Airpark owners and operators are responsible forestablishing traff

Pattern altitude will typi-cally be 152.4 m (500 ft) or greater above the altitude of theairport.11.2 Powere
43、d parachute aircraft require patterns that allowan approach to landing that is as near as practical directly intothe wind.11.3 The airpark owner shall post a diagram and instructionsdescribing the local pattern in a conspicuous manner in aconspicuous location at or near the parking apron or airporto

Fuel and Fuel Storage12.1 GeneralThe majority of light sport aircraft are de-signed to use unleaded automotive type fuels complying withSpecifications D4814 and D6227, or other similar unleadedgasoline specifications.12.1.1 If fuel is provided at the airpark, all local fire,environmental,
45、and zoning regulations should be followed.NFPA Standard No. 30, Chapter 2, contains location andinstallation criteria for fuel storage tanks with respect to otherbuildings, property lines, and public ways.12.2 If a fueling facility is provided at the airpark, it isrecommended that the smallest tank
46、practical be used toprevent prolonged storage of unused gasoline.12.3 In calculating the size of tank used, an owner shouldconsider the number of based aircraft, the hours expected to flyin a given period, and the expected number of transient aircraftpurchasing fuel. Also, the tank must be large eno
47、ugh to receivea normal minimum fuel delivery offered by the local fueldistributor.12.4 Light sport aircraft have fuel capacities that typicallyrange between 5 and 20 U.S. gallons. Facilities should bedesigned with this low volume in mind.NOTENot to scaleFIG. 4 Powered Parachute Landing AreaF2507 05
