GOVERNMENT OF INDIA OFFICE OF DIRECTOR GENERAL OF CIVIL AVIATION TECHNICAL CENTRE, OPP SAFDARJANG AIRPORT, NEW DELHI CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION-4, AERODROME STANDARDS & LICENSING SERIES 'F', PART V XXth October 2022 EFFECTIVE: FORTHWITH Subject: REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUE OF AN AERODROME LICENSE FOR AERODROME REFERENCE UPTO CODE 2B. INTRODUCTION The Central Govt. has made Rules for the licensing of aerodromes, which are, contained in Part XI of the Aircraft Rules 1937. The Rule 78 requires that no aerodrome shall be used as a regular place for landing and departure by a scheduled air transport service or for a series of landing and departures by any aircraft carrying passengers or cargo for hire or reward unless it has been licensed. This CAR lays guidelines for grant of aerodrome license under the Aircraft Rules and is issued under the power conferred vide sub Rule (1) of Rule 83 and Rule 133A of the Aircraft Rules, 1937. These guidelines are issued only for the licensing of the aerodrome from technical point of view and grant of license is subject to the clearance from the Central Govt. as per the Civil Aviation policy and instructions issued from time to time. 1. General 1.1 The aerodromes shall be licensed in one of the following categories, namely: i. For public use; the aerodrome, which, when available for operation of aircraft, shall be so available to all persons on equal terms and conditions. ii. For private use, that is to say, for use by the licensee and by individuals specifically authorized by the licensee. (Note: Usage of Private use aerodromes excludes the operation of schedule flights) 1CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION 4 SERIES 'F' PART V XXTH OCTOBER 2022 2. Procedure for Application 2.1 Public Use Category. Ministry of Civil Aviation shall grant Site clearance and ‘In Principle’ approval for all proposals pertaining to the aerodromes under Public Use category as per the Greenfield Airport Policy. 2.2 Private Use Category. Site clearance as well as ‘In Principle’ approval shall be granted by DGCA as per technical assessment of the site and based on usage of airport indicated by the applicant. The ‘In Principle’ approval granted by DGCA indicates that the proposed airport is essentially meant for non- commercial operations by the licensee and by individuals specifically authorized by the licensee only. 2.3 Application for cargo airports need not be submitted for approval of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and these cases may be considered and decided at the level of DGCA, subject to applicable regulations. 2.4 In case the applicant wish to convert the airport from ‘Private Use’ category to ‘Public Use’ later, Steering Committee process and Government approvals as per the prevailing policy shall be required. 2.5 Similarly if an applicant wishes to convert the airport from ‘Public Use’ category, which was duly approved by Steering Committee, to ‘Private Use’ later, the case may be referred to Steering Committee for review. 3. Site Clearance. 3.1 Greenfield airport for public use: Prior to commencing the construction, the potential owner/developer of the Greenfield aerodrome for public use shall make applications to the Steering Committee at ministry of Civil Aviation. The request for site approval and issuance of in-principle approval in respect of these aerodromes shall be dealt by Steering Committee in accordance with Greenfield Airport Policy of GOI. 3.2 Airport for Private Use (including cargo airport): Application for private use aerodrome and cargo aerodrome shall be dealt in following manner. Applicant for construction of private use aerodrome and cargo aerodrome shall make an application to the DGCA in Form CA 93(A) as set out in Attachment-II for approval of the aerodrome site. 3.3 The applicant for private use aerodrome and cargo aerodrome shall obtain and forward, along with the application form, attested copies of the clearances/permissions to the DGCA from the following: 2CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION 4 SERIES 'F' PART V XXTH OCTOBER 2022 i.

The scope of these requirements is for ARC 2B Instrument & Non-Instrument Runways and Instrument Runway including Precision Approach Runways but not including CAT II / III operations requirements. The reference documents used for this section is CAR Section 4 Series B Part I. the requirements made in this section are specific for any clarification CAR Section 4 Series B Part I may be referred. 1. Aerodrome Data a) Aerodrome Reference Code The intent of the reference code is to provide a simple method for interrelating the numerous specifications concerning the characteristics of aerodromes so as to provide a series of aerodrome facilities that are suitable for the aeroplanes that are intended to operate at the aerodrome.

Obstacle Restriction and Removal Note : The objectives of the specifications of obstacle limitation surfaces are to define the airspace around aerodromes to be maintained free from obstacles so as to permit the intended aeroplane operations at the aerodromes to be conducted safely and to prevent the aerodromes from becoming unusable by the growth of obstacles around the aerodromes. This is achieved by establishing a series of obstacle limitation surfaces that define the limits to which objects may project into the airspace. Objects, which penetrate the obstacle limitation surfaces contained in this section, may in certain circumstances cause an increase in the obstacle clearance altitude/height for an instrument approach procedure or any associated visual circling procedure or have other operational impact on flight procedure design. Construction of buildings, trees etc. is regulated by section 9 of the Aircraft Act 1934 and surfaces required to be maintained around an aerodrome are defined in the prevailing central Govt. notification in this regard. Note 1.— Criteria for flight procedure design are contained in ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Aircraft Operations (PANS-OPS) (Doc 8168).
