    Aircraft Pilot and Passenger Protection Act 3 O.S. § 120.1 – 120.14 SECTION 120.1 A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Aircraft Pilot and Passenger Protection Act”. B. It is the intent of this act to: 1. Regulate obstructions to air navigation that have the potential of endangering the lives and property of aircraft pilots and passengers and those that live or work in the vicinity of public-use airports; that may affect existing and future instrument approaches to a public-use airport; and that may reduce the size of areas available for the landing, takeoff and maneuvering of aircraft thus impairing the utility of a public-use airport and the public investment therein; 2. Regulate the use of land in close proximity to a public-use airport to ensure compatibility with aircraft operations; and 3. Provide specific powers and duties to the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the public so that the state may properly fulfill its duty to ensure that land use around a public-use airport is compatible with normal airport operations including the landing and takeoff of aircraft. C. All heights or surfaces set forth in this act are from the standards set forth in Subpart C of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77. D. Depending upon the type of survey used, an adjustment will be made in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration standards to the horizontal and vertical measurements of the proposed structure as follows: Survey Horizontal Survey Vertical Type Adjustment Type Adjustment 1 +20 ft (6 m) A +3 ft (1 m) 2 +50 ft (15 m) B +10 ft (3 m) 3 +100 ft (30 m) C +20 ft (6 m) 4 +250 ft (75 m) D +50 ft (15 m) 5 +500 ft (150 m) E +125 ft (38 m) If the survey type (horizontal and vertical) is not certified by a licensed engineer or a licensed surveyor, a horizontal adjustment of plus or minus two hundred fifty (250) feet and a vertical adjustment of fifty (50) feet will be applied to the structure measurements.

Over the last two decades, commercial aviation fatalities in the United States have decreased by 95 percent, at a time when our commercial aviation sector has thrived and is today a leading contributor to our Nation’s economy. This amazing accomplishment has not been the result of FAA actions alone, but also of collaboration throughout government and within the aviation community at large. We find ourselves today on the edge of the next great era of aviation: the age of autonomous and unmanned aircraft. The aerospace landscape as we have known it is undergoing dramatic changes. Unlike the previous era, ushered by the dawn of the jet age into relatively empty skies, the airspace of the 21st century is complex and is only getting more complicated.
