B. It is the intent of this act to:

1. 1. Regulate obstructions to air navigation that have the potential of endangering the lives and property of aircraft pilots and passengers and those that live or work in the vicinity of public-use airports; that may affect existing and future instrument approaches to a public-use airport; and that may reduce the size of areas available for the landing, takeoff and maneuvering of aircraft thus impairing the utility of a public-use airport and the public investment therein;
2. 2. Regulate the use of land in close proximity to a public-use airport to ensure compatibility with aircraft operations; and
3. 3. Provide specific powers and duties to the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the public so that the state may properly fulfill its duty to ensure that land use around a public-use airport is compatible with normal airport operations including the landing and takeoff of aircraft.

D. Depending upon the type of survey used, an adjustment will be made to the horizontal and vertical measurements of the proposed structure as follows:

Survey

Horizontal Survey Vertical Type Adjustment Type Adjustment 1 +20 ft (6 m) A +3 ft (1 m) 2 +50 ft (15 m) B +10 ft (3 m) 3 +100ft (30 m) C +20 ft (6 m) 4 +250 ft (75 m) D +50 ft (15 m) 5 +500 ft (150 m) E +125 ft (38 m)

If the survey type (horizontal and vertical) is not certified by a licensed engineer or a licensed surveyor, a horizontal adjustment of plus or minus two hundred fifty (250) feet and a vertical adjustment of fifty (50) feet will be applied to the structure measurements.

E. This act shall neither prevent nor preempt a municipality from having ordinances or regulations governing land use that may affect public-use airports.
