tion between local government entities, building developers, and the airport's users, including air carriers and operators of general aviation aircraft. Conflicts will inevitably arise with respect to the use and protection of local airspace.

Background Airports support local and regional economies by providing services and means of connection to distant destinations that are attractive for both local businesses and the markets they serve. There are instances, however, when other types of economic development, infrastructure for energy or communications, civic and other critical uses of the land create demand for vertical development that is at odds with the airspace protection requirements needed for safe and efficient airport operations.

✈ Many stakeholders do not understand the distinction between an airspace "obstruction" and "hazard." Being classified as an obstruction does not necessarily mean an object would be incompatible with airport operations; it means (1) the object should be subject to further aeronautical study in order to assess whether it would constitute a hazard to air navigation; and (2)

protection requirements led to building development proposals that would have been incompatible to proceed to significant stages of design and investment, which in turn spurred the airport sponsors to improve public awareness and approval processes in various creative manners. FAA Analysis Process Misunderstood The FAA's OE/AAA process is often misunderstood, misinterpreted, or unknown to developers or local planning agencies.
