AERODROME
BYE LAWS

2. DEFINATIONS
 AERODROME REFERENCE POINT (ARP) — This is a
designated point, which is established in the horizontal
plane.
 ELEVATION OR REDUCED LEVEL — The vertical
distance of a point or a level, on or affixed to the
surface of the earth, measured from the mean sea
level.

3.  TRANSITIONAL AREA — An area which is below a
specified surface sloping upwards and outwards
from the edge of the approach funnel and from a
line originating at the end of the inner edge of
each approach area, drawn parallel to the runway
centre line in the direction of landing.
 APPROACH FUNNEL
 RUNWAY STRIP

5. PROHIBITED AREAS
 No building or structure shall be constructed or
erected, or no tree shall be planted, on any land within
the limits of the aerodromes listed and in respect of the
aerodrome at Thiruvananthapuram.
 These requirements shall be applicable for the land
enclosed in approach funnels of the runway with a
maximum distance of 360 m measured from each
runway and along the extended centre line of the
runway.

6. THE REQUIREMENTS OF APPROACH
FUNNEL AND AN INSTRUMENT RUNWAY
SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS
 An instrument runway is a runway served by
visual and non-visual aid or aids providing at
least directional guidance adequate for a
straight in approach and intended for the
operation of aircraft using instrument
approach procedures.
 Approach funnel in the case of an
instrument runway means the area in the
shape of an isosceles trapezium having the -

7. i. longer parallel side 4800 m long (2 400 m on
either side of the extended centre line of the
runway)
ii. and smaller parallel side 300 m long (150 m on
either side of the extended centre line of the
runway)
where the smaller and longer parallel sides are placed
at a distance of 60 m and 15060 m, respectively,
from the end of the runway and at right angles to
the extended centre line.

8. IN THE CASE OF A NON-INSTRUMENT RUNWAY,
THE APPROACH FUNNEL MEANS THE AREA IN THE
SHAPE OF AN ISOSCELES TRAPEZIUM HAVING
 the longer parallel side 1800 m long (900 m on either side of
the extended centre line of the runway)
 and smaller parallel side 180 m long (90 m on either side of the
extended centre line of the runway),
 where the smaller and longer parallel sides are placed at a
distance of 60 m and 6540 m, respectively, from the end of
the runway
 And at right angles to the extended centre line.
 Thereafter, the trapezium is followed by a contiguous
rectangular area of that width for the remainder of the length
up to a distance of 15060 m from the end of the runway.

9. SPECIAL CLAUSE FOR THE AERODROME AT
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:
 These requirements shall be applicable for the land
enclosed in approach funnels of all runways with a
maximum distance of 304.80 m, measured from each
runway
 and along extended centre line of the runway,
 and the land enclosed in a belt of 30.48 m width
outside the operational boundary of the aerodrome.
 For the purpose of this clause, the requirements of
approach funnel and operational boundary shall be as
given

10. APPROACH FUNNEL means the area in the shape of an isosceles
trapezium having the longer parallel side of length 4724.4 m (2
362.2 m on either side of the extended centre line of the
runway)
 and smaller parallel side of 152.4 m (76.2 m on either side of
the extended centre line of the runway)
 where the smaller and longer parallel sides are placed at a
distance of 60.9 m and 15301 m, respectively, from the end of
the runway and at right angles to the extended centre line.
OPERATIONAL BOUNDARY means an area enclosed between
parallel lines at a distance of 152.4 m on either side of the
centre line of the runways or 30.4 m from the boundary
fencing of the aerodrome, whichever is greater.

11. HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
 No building or structure higher than the height specified
in tables shall be constructed or erected
 or no tree which is likely to grow or ordinarily grows
higher than the height specified in the tables shall be
planted, on any land within a radius of 20 km from ARP
of the aerodromes listed

12. HEIGHT RESTRICTION
WITH RESPECT TO
APPROACH FUNNELS
This shall be applicable
for the land enclosed in
the approach funnels of
all runways where
distances are measured
from each end of the
runway, along extended
centre line of the
runway.
