sections 5, 58, 59 and 60

the IAA Act 1993, as amended, hereby orders as follows:-

1. This Order shall come into operation on 1 March 2002
2. Definition “AIP Ireland” means the Aeronautical Information Publication for Ireland required by Annex 15 to the Chicago Convention to be published by each ICAO member state providing various aeronautical data; “the Authority” means the Irish Aviation Authority; “the Act” means the Irish Aviation Authority Act

1993 as amended; “aerodrome” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Act; “aerodrome licensee” means the person responsible for a licensed aerodrome to whom the license for that aerodrome has been issued; “aerodrome reference point” means the designated geographical location

an aerodrome and is a point near the initial or planned geometric centre

the aerodrome; “aeronautical study” means a safety analysis associated with the operation

aircraft; “Annex 4” means Annex 4 to the Chicago Convention as referenced in the Schedule to the Act and available as indicated in the Schedule to this Order; “Annex 14” means Annex 14 to the Chicago Convention as referenced in the Schedule to the Act and available as indicated in the Schedule to this Order; “the Convention” means the Chicago Convention; “en-route obstacle” means an object outside the airspace defined by aerodrome obstacle limitation surfaces, extending to a height

90 metres or more above ground level at the site

the object, thereby having significance for the en-route operation

aircraft; “instrument runway” means a runway intended for the operation

aircraft using instrument approach procedures; “licensed aerodrome” means an aerodrome in respect

which a license under the Irish Aviation Authority (Aerodromes and Visual Ground Aids) Order, 2000 is in force; “navigable airspace” means, for the purposes

this Order, airspace above the territory

the State which is available for the flight

aircraft; “obstacle” means any fixed (whether temporary or permanent) or mobile object or a part thereof that extends above a defined surface intended to protect aircraft in flight or exceeds a specific height above ground level; “obstacle clearance” means, in relation to an obstacle in the vicinity

an aerodrome, the lowest height or altitude above the elevation

the relevant runway threshold or the aerodrome elevation, as applicable, used in establishing compliance with the appropriate clearance criteria above an obstacle for an aircraft in flight; “obstacle limitation surfaces” means a series

imaginary surfaces in space, the dimensions and gradients

which are provided in Annex 14, which define the limits to which objects may project vertically into the airspace surrounding an aerodrome so as to permit aircraft to be operated safely. These surfaces are defined in Chapter 4

Annex 14; “obstacle protection surface” means an inclined plane preceding a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator system as defined in Chapter 5

Annex 14; “potential en route air navigation obstacle” means an object extending to a height

45m above ground level at the site

the object and which thereby may have significance for the en-route operation

aircraft; “precision approach runway” means an instrument runway served by an instrument landing system; “reference code number” means a number assigned as part

an aerodrome reference code delineating the runway length range in accordance with the criteria

Chapter 1

Annex 14; “safeguarding map” means a map prepared by or on behalf

an aerodrome licensee showing the obstacle limitation surfaces for each runway or proposed runway

a particular aerodrome or proposed aerodrome or in respect

those surfaces for any development proposed to an existing runway or aerodrome for the purposes

safeguarding the aerodrome against developments which would have an adverse effect for aircraft operations; “take-

f flight path area” means a quadrilateral area on the surface

the earth lying directly below and symmetrically disposed about the take-

f flight path from a runway. 3. Applicability This Order shall apply to existing and proposed manmade objects

permanent or temporary construction or alteration and apparatus

a permanent or temporary nature or any alteration thereto, objects

natural growth and terrain. The standards shall apply to the use

navigable airspace by aircraft and to existing or proposed air navigation facilities, licensed aerodromes, air traffic services routes including approach and departure routes to and from instrument and other runways. 4. Definition

an Obstacle

greater height than any

the following heights or surfaces:- (a) A height

45 metres above ground level at the site

the object or an object which otherwise constitutes an en-route obstacle or a potential en-route obstacle in accordance with this Order; (b) A height within a runway approach area, a runway departure area or a circling approach area, which would result in the vertical distance between any point on the object and the established minimum instrument flight altitude or height as specified for the aerodrome concerned in the “AIP Ireland” within that area to be less than the required obstacle clearance. The analysis

the significance

such obstacles may have to be determined by an aeronautical study in accordance with subparagraph

Article 5

this Order; (c) The surface

an obstacle limitation surface as defined in Chapter 4

Annex 14 to the Convention; (d) The surface

an obstacle protection surface as defined in Chapter 5

Annex 14 to the Convention; (e) An inclined plane surface, with a slope

either 1.2 per cent or 1.0 per cent superimposed on a take-

f flight path area and extending either to 10 kilometres or 12 kilometres respectively from the end

the runway concerned as specified in Chapter 3

Annex 4.

the aerodrome licensee and lodged with the local Authority responsible for planning in the vicinity

that aerodrome under the Planning and Development Act 2000 .

these surfaces are defined in Annexes 4 and 14 to the Convention as appropriate in relation to runway size and use at the aerodrome concerned. 5. Reporting and Information in respect

Obstacles

Article 4

this Order shall first notify the Authority in writing

that intention and shall provide such information as may be requested under paragraph

this Article, apart from any permission required to be obtained under the Planning and Development Act 2000 in respect

the said proposal.
