For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
AIRPORT. The Holdenville Municipal Airport.
AIRPORT ELEVATION. The highest point of an airport’s usable landing area measured in feet from mean sea level.
AIRPORT HAZARD. Any structure or object of natural growth located on or in the vicinity of a public airport, or any use of land near such airport, which obstructs the airspace required for the flight of aircraft in landing or takeoff at such airport or is otherwise hazardous to such landing or takeoff of aircraft.
APPROACH, TRANSITIONAL, HORIZONTAL AND CONICAL ZONES. These zones apply to the area under the approach, transitional, horizontal, and conical surfaces defined in FAR Part 77 for conventional takeoff or landing.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. A board consisting of three members appointed by the Mayor and City Council as provided in § 152.09 of this chapter.

The width of the PRIMARY SURFACE of a runway will be that width prescribed in Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of that runway. The elevation of any point on the PRIMARY SURFACE is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline.
RUNWAY. A defined area on an airport prepared for landing and takeoff of aircraft along its length.
STRUCTURE. An object constructed or installed by humans, including, but without limitation, buildings, towers, smokestacks, earth formation and overhead transmission lines.
