• (a) the horizontal surface;

• (b) the approach surfaces abutting each end of the strip designated as 06-24 and extending outward therefrom, the dimensions of which approach surfaces are six hundred (600) feet on each side of the centre line of the strip at the strip ends and two thousand (2,000) feet on each side of the projected centre line of the strip at the outer ends, the said outer ends being two hundred (200) feet above the elevations at the strip ends, and measured horizontally ten thousand (10,000) feet from the strip ends;

• (c) the approach surfaces abutting each end of the strip designated as 15-33 and extending outward therefrom, the dimensions of which approach surfaces are five hundred (500) feet on each side of the centre line of the strip at the strip ends and one thousand one hundred (1,100) feet on each side of the projected centre line of the strip at the outer ends, the said outer ends being two hundred (200) feet above the elevations at the strip ends, and measured horizontally eight thousand (8,000) feet from the strip ends; or

• (d) the transitional surfaces.

6 A person may erect or construct any building, structure or object or any addition to any existing building, structure or object, the highest point of which will not exceed in elevation the elevation at that point of any approach surface or transitional surface referred to in section 5 that projects immediately over and above the surface of the land at that point but will exceed in elevation the elevation at that point of the horizontal surface, if the highest point of such building, structure or object or addition to such existing building, structure or object, will not extend more than 30 feet above the surface of the land at that point.

Aeronautical Facilities

7 No owner or lessee of any land to which these Regulations apply shall permit any part of that land to be used or developed in a manner that causes interference with any signals or communications to and from

• (a) any aircraft; or

• (b) any facilities used to provide services relating to aeronautics.
