SOME OF THE STANDARDS NOT MET INCLUDE: ? - OBJECT FREE ZONE FOR SMALL AIRCRAFT WITH APPROACH SPEEDS OVER 50 KNOTS (BASED ON AERIAL IMAGERY [HANGAR, TREE ON WEST END]) ? - THRESHOLD SITING CRITERIA (BASED ON AERIAL IMAGERY [TREE ON WEST END, SOUTH OF RUNWAY]) NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE LIST. REFERENCE AC 150/5300-13 TITLED 'AIRPORT DESIGN'. BECAUSE THIS IS A PROPOSED PRIVATE-USE AIRPORT, ALL OPERATORS PROCEED AT THEIR OWN RISK. THE PROPONENT MUST MEET ALL STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF OPERATIONS, WE RECOMMEND: 1.
