Distance and height of obstacles from runway
Can anybody please point me in the direction of information on this subject.
I am particularly interested in the minimum distance from an active runway that a glideslope aerial can be erected.
Thanks in advance.

I think it's normally positioned so that the top of the aerial does not infringe a 1:10 slope from the runway centreline. The UK CAA Licensing of Aerodromes CAP168 document contains the details on distances of obstructions from runways/taxiways etc.
