at Statesville Municipal Airport.
Airport hazard means any structure or tree which obstructs the aerial approaches of a publicly
owned airport or is otherwise hazardous to its use for landing or taking off.
Approach Surface means a surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline,
extending outward and upward from the end of the primary surface and at the same slope as the
approach zone height limitation slope set forth in Section 103 of this Ordinance. In plan the
perimeter of the approach surface coincides with the perimeter of the approach zone.
Conical Surface means a surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the
horizontal surface at a slope of 20 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet.
Height means the vertical distance from the ground elevation to the highest point of a structure or

specifically prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that
runway. The width of the primary surface is set forth in Section 103 of this Ordinance. The
elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on
the runway centerline.
Runway means a defined area on an airport prepared for landing and takeoff of aircraft along its
