(A) Within the area of an approach zone of a runway of an airport or landing field, no building, utility line, pole, smokestack, chimney, wires, tower or other structure or appurtenance thereto of any kind shall hereafter be erected, constructed, repaired or established, nor shall any tree or other object of natural growth be allowed to grow, to exceed a height that would interfere with the takeoff or landing of a plane with a glide angle of 1 foot vertical for every 40 feet horizontal, such glide to be computed as beginning 200 feet from the end of the runway. Beyond the glide path and within the approach zone, no obstruction shall exceed a height of 150 feet.
(B) An approach zone is located at each end of each runway, landing strip or other portion of the airfield used regularly for landing or taking off of airplanes. The approach zones are 500 feet in width at each end of each runway or landing strip, and all approach zones expand uniformly to a width of 1,500 feet at a distance of 5,000 feet from the ends of the respective runways or landing strips. The outer boundary line of each approach zone shall be a straight line perpendicular to, and bisected by, the extended centerline of its respective runway or landing strip.
