3.3 Airport Boundary #

3.3.1 #

The airport boundary is shown in a light green line that surrounds the airport, the elevation within the airport boundary will always be completely flat to allow editing and prevent any buildings/objects from floating or being submerged. All topography outside of the airport boundary will have a varying elevation based on real world topography.

All objects must{.red} be within the airport boundary, the only exception to this is airport equipment such as the localizer antenna. In these cases, the Editor must{.red} ensure that the object is properly aligned with the terrain

Tip

: If you find buildings/objects are floating/submerged, it may be because they are too close to the airport boundary, you can either move the airport boundary or move the buildings/objects slightly in from the boundary

3.3.2 #

To edit the airport boundary, follow the steps below:

If changing the airport boundary, a navigation database update will be required before the new boundary is reflected in-app. Therefore Editors must not{.red} add any new buildings/objects in the new airport boundary until this has been updated
