Airspace Protection Standards

Permit and Resource Management Department Banner 750

The criteria defined in Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (F.A.R.) shall be the basis for airspace protection standards around all public use airports in Sonoma County. Exhibit 8G shows an example of an F.A.R. Part 77 airspace plan. It includes an isometric drawing and a table summarizing the dimensional criteria. This is provided to assist readers in visualizing the rather complex F.A.R. Part 77 airspace.

F.A.R. Part 77 Airspace Plans for each public use airport in Sonoma County are shown in Exhibits 8H through 8P. The Part 77 airspace at Sonoma County Airport is shown in two exhibits. Exhibit 8L shows the Part 77 airspace within the primary referral area. Exhibit 8M shows the complete Part 77 airspace including the approach and transitional surfaces associated with the precision instrument approach to Runway 32.
