Chapter 1. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS"

AND DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. GENERAL1. GENERAL". Section 103 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 states in part, “In the exercise and performance of his power and duties under this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall consider the following, among other things, as being in the public interest: (a) The regulation of air commerce in such manner as to best promote its development and safety and fulfill the requirements of defense; (b) The promotion, encouragement, and development of civil aeronautics . . . .”

This public charge, in effect, requires the development and maintenance of a national system of safe, delay-free, and cost-effective airports. The use of the standards and recommendations contained in this publication in the design of airports supports this public charge. These standards and recommendations, however, do not limit or regulate the operations of aircraft.

2. DEFINITIONS2. DEFINITIONS". As used in this publication, the following terms mean:

Aircraft Approach Category. A grouping of aircraft based on 1.3 times their stall speed in their landing configuration at their maximum certificated landing weight. The categories are as follows:

Category A:  Speed less than 91 knots.

Category B:  Speed 91 knots or more but less than 121 knots.

Category C:  Speed 121 knots or more but less than 141 knots.

Category D:  Speed 141 knots or more but less than 166 knots.

Category E:  Speed 166 knots or more.

Airplane Design Group (ADG). A grouping of airplanes based on wingspan or tail height. Where an airplane is in two categories, the most demanding category should be used. The groups are as follows:

Group   I:  Up to but not including 49 feet (15 m) wingspan or tail height up to but not including 20 feet.

Group  II:  49 feet (15 m) up to but not including 79 feet (24 m) wingspan or tail height from 20 up to but not including 30 feet.

Group III:  79 feet (24 m) up to but not including 118 feet (36 m) wingspan or tail height from 30 up to but not including 45 feet.

Group IV: 118 feet (36 m) up to but not including 171 feet (52 m) wingspan or tail height from 45 up to but not including 60 feet.

Group V:  171 feet (52 m) up to but not including 214 feet (65 m) wingspan or tail height from 60 up to but not including 66 feet.

Group  VI:  214 feet (65 m) up to but not including 262 feet (80 m) wingspan or tail height from 66 up to but not including 80 feet.
