Airport and Heliport Setbacks
This dataset represents a first-order quantification of airport and heliport setback requirements based on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 14 CFR Part 77.9. It defines the following FAA notice criteria that we use to create runway buffers. Runways longer than 3,200 feet receive a 20,000 foot buffer, runways less than 3,200 feet long receive a buffer of 10,000 feet, and heliports receive a buffer of 5,000 feet. A setback requirement is a minimum distance from an airport or heliport that an energy project may be developed.
