AL Code § 23-1-371 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 23 - Highways, Roads, Bridges and Ferries.|Chapter 1 - Alabama Highways.|Article 12 - Regulations of Aeronautics, Aircraft, and Airports Generally.|Section 23-1-371 - Formulation, Adoption, of Aircraft Approach Plans; Airspace Reservations.

Section 23-1-371Formulation, adoption, of aircraft approach plans; airspace reservations.  (a) The Legislature finds that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of the general public, the users of airports, and the occupants of land in their vicinity, and reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking off, and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly, the creation, establishment, or maintenance of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and harms the community served by the affected airport; it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health and safety and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented and both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, abatement, or marking or lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property rights therein. (b) The department shall formulate, adopt, and revise airport approach plans for each public use airport in this state. Each airport approach plan shall determine and indicate the circumstances in which structures and trees are airport hazards, the airport hazard area within which measures for the protection of the airport's aerial approaches should be taken, and what the height limits and other objectives of measures should be taken. In adopting or revising a plan, the department shall consider, among other factors, the character of the flying operations to be conducted at the airport, the nature of the terrain, the height of existing structures and trees above the elevation of the airport, and the possibility of lowering or removing existing structures that create an airport hazard. The department may obtain and consider the views or findings of the agency of the federal government charged with the fostering of civil aeronautics, as to the aerial approaches necessary to the safe flying operations at the airport. (c) In the interest of protecting the public health and safety and general welfare, the department may declare or set aside airspace reservations over specific land and water areas.

Section 23-1-372Approval of sites and licensing of airports.  (a) The Legislature finds that airports, restricted landing areas, and other air navigation facilities shall be suitable for the purposes for which they are designated and licensed, and the advantages of uniform regulation make it desirable that airports, restricted landing areas, and other air navigation facilities shall be constructed and maintained in conformity, as nearly as may be, with current federal laws, rules, and regulations governing civil aeronautics in the United States. (b) The department shall approve sites for airports and restricted landing areas, and shall license airports, restricted landing areas, and air navigation facilities in accordance with this article and the rules and regulations promulgated by the department at the recommendation of the commission. The licenses issued shall be renewed annually by the department. Licenses granted to airports, restricted landing areas, and other air navigation facilities prior May 13, 2000, and pursuant to Section 4-2-72 and Section 4-2-73, shall remain in force, subject to renewal by the department. Licenses shall be granted for airports and restricted landing areas which were being actively operated on July 9, 1945, without the requirement of a certificate of approval, unless the department determines that the operation of an airport or restricted landing area is hazardous to persons operating, using, or traveling in aircraft, or to persons and property on the ground. The department shall not charge a fee for site approval certificates of proposed property acquisitions for airport or restricted landing area purposes or for the issuance of original licenses or renewals thereof for airports or restricted landing areas.

Section 23-1-373Certificate of approval or license for airport, landing field - Standards for issuance. In determining whether to issue a certificate of approval or license for any proposed airport or restricted landing area, the director may consider proposed location, size, and layout, the relationship of the proposed airport or restricted landing area to other airports that may exist in the area and to a comprehensive plan for statewide and nationwide airport development, whether there are safe areas available for expansion purposes, whether the adjoining area is free from obstructions or airport hazards based upon appropriate aircraft performance characteristics, and the nature of the terrain, the estimated cost of preparation of the land and the airport's approach and departure paths, and the nature of the uses to which the proposed airport or restricted landing area will be put subject to the possibilities for other future aeronautical development.

Section 23-1-374Revocation, refusal to issue or renew license; procedure for review under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act. In any case where the director refuses to issue a certificate of approval, license, or renewal of license for an airport, restricted landing area, or other air navigation facility, or refuses to allow any aircraft to be operated, or in any case where the director shall issue any order requiring certain things to be done, or revoking any license or certificate, the director shall set forth the reasons therefor and shall state the requirements to be met before approval will be given, license granted, or order modified or changed. Any order made by the director pursuant to this article shall be delivered either in person or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the interested persons. Any person aggrieved by an order of the director may request a hearing pursuant to the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act, Section 41-22-1, et seq. A hearing shall be requested within 30 days after receipt of the order. If no timely request for a hearing is made, the order of the director shall be final. Any appeal from a final order of the director shall be made to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County and shall be governed by the provisions of the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act.
