Information indicated in the AIP. Licensing and safeguarding. ICAO Type 'A' Charts. Precision Approach Terrain Charts. Calculation of "Dominant Obstacle" Information for NonPrecision Approach Procedures.

2.19.2 Monitoring of obstacles: General: - Once an obstacle has been identified, either within the aerodrome boundary or in its vicinity, its significance is assessed in relation to the defined obstacle limitation surfaces. All surfaces will be kept free from obstacles but in practical terms some may have to be allowed and appropriate safety measures taken, in negotiation with the relevant CAA departments. An obstacle will be assessed on the following basis: 2.19.2.1 Identify the nature and ownership of the obstacle. 2.19.2.2 Its location in relation to the origin of the safeguarded surfaces is inspected. 2.19.2.3 Check the amount by which the surface may be infringed and gradient presented by the obstacle to the surface origin. 2.19.2.4 Check if an existing immovable obstacle provides any shielding. 2.19.2.5 The volume and type of air traffic at the aerodrome will be considered in determining the significance of an obstacle. 2.19.2.6 The approach procedure for the aerodrome is published in the Aeronautical Publication (AIP). 2.19.3 Lighting & Marking of Obstacles: General: Permanent obstacles which are close to or infringing the Air to Ground to Air (AGA) safeguarded surfaces are fitted with a pair or pairs of RED obstacle lights unless deemed to be shielded by another obstacle or if it is sufficiently conspicuous. All possible infringements are conveyed to the CAA. 2.19.3.1 Temporary objects which are close to or infringing the AGA, safeguarded surfaces are prominently marked if only present by day, or fitted with a pair or pairs of RED obstacle lights if also present during night or low visibility operations as per CAA requirements. 2.19.3.2 Provision and checking of the marking and lighting of Offairport obstacles is determined and implemented between the aerodrome licensee and the owners or operators of the obstacle. 2.19.3.3 The airport operations maintenance department regularly checks the marking and lighting of obstacles.
