Landing Area means the area of the airport used for the landing, takeoff or taxiing of aircraft. Minimum Descent Altitude means the lowest altitude, expressed in feet above mean sea level, to which descent is authorized on final approach or during circling-to-land maneuvering in execution of a standard instrument approach procedure where no electronic glide slope is provided. Minimum En-Route Altitude means the altitude in effect between radio fixes, which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets Obstruction clearance requirements between those fixes. Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude means the specified altitude in effect between radio fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments which meets Obstruction clearance requirements for the entire route segment and which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 miles of a VOR(very high omnirange) station. Nonconforming Use means any preexisting Structure or use of land which lawfully exists at a specific height at the time of this regulation, and which existence or height is inconsistent with the provisions of this regulation or an amendment thereto. Non-Precision Instrument Runway means a runway having a non-precision-instrument approach procedure utilizing air navigation facilities with only horizontal guidance, or area type navigation equipment, for which a straight-in non-precision-instrument approach procedure has been approved or planned, and for which no precision approach facilities are planned or indicated on an FAA planning document or military service's military airport planning document.

Precision Instrument Runway means a runway having an existing instrument approach procedure utilizing an instrument landing system (ILS), or a precision approach radar (PAR). It 111 also means a runway for which a precision approach system is planned and so indicated by an FAA approved airport layout plan or any other FAA planning document. Runway means a defined area on an Airport prepared for landing and takeoff of aircraft along its length. Structure means any object, constructed or installed by man, including but not limited to: buildings, towers, smoke stacks, utility poles, earth formations, and overhead transmission lines. 2
