Definitions.
For the purpose of this part:
Non-precision instrument runway
means a runway having an existing in-
strument approach procedure utilizing
air navigation facilities with only hori-
zontal guidance, or area type naviga-
tion equipment, for which a straight-in
non-precision instrument approach
procedure has been approved, or
planned, and for which no precision ap-
proach facilities are planned, or indi-
cated on an FAA planning document or
military service military airport plan-
ning document.
Planned or proposed airport is an air-
port that is the subject of at least one
of the following documents received by
the FAA:
(1) Airport proposals submitted under
14 CFR part 157.
(2) Airport Improvement Program re-
quests for aid.
(3) Notices of existing airports where
prior notice of the airport construction
or alteration was not provided as re-
quired by 14 CFR part 157.
(4) Airport layout plans.
(5) DOD proposals for airports used
only by the U.S. Armed Forces.
(6) DOD proposals on joint-use (civil-
military) airports.
(7) Completed airport site selection

Precision instrument runway means a
runway having an existing instrument
approach procedure utilizing an Instru-
ment Landing System (ILS), or a Pre-
cision Approach Radar (PAR). It also
means a runway for which a precision
approach system is planned and is so
indicated by an FAA-approved airport
layout plan; a military service ap-
proved military airport layout plan;
any other FAA planning document, or
military service military airport plan-
ning document.
Public use airport is an airport avail-
able for use by the general public with-
out a requirement for prior approval of

is constructed for and intended to be
used by propeller driven aircraft of
12,500 pounds maximum gross weight
and less.
Visual runway means a runway in-

proved airport layout plan, a military
service approved military airport lay-
out plan, or by any planning document
submitted to the FAA by competent
authority.
