Annex 14
Having a discussion regarding the requirements of ICAO Annex 14 regarding aerodromes, particularly in relation to buildings beside a runway. My limited understanding of the annex shows three zones, transition, followed by 2nd zone to a radius of 4000 m and height of 45m, followed by 3rd zone with a 5% gradient to 100m, this works out to be another 1100 m.
My understanding of this regulation is a building height restriction of 100m up to 5100 m to the side of a runway!
However, numerous airport terminals seem to be within this restricted area.
Anyone care to comment?
