Current through July 10, 2024
Except when necessary for take-off or landing, no person
				  shall operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:
(1) Anywhere: An altitude which will permit,
				in the event of the failure of a power unit, an emergency landing without undue
				hazard to persons or property on the surface;
(2) Over congested areas: Over the congested
				areas of cities, towns or settlements, or over an open-air assembly of persons,
				an altitude of one thousand feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal
				radius of two thousand feet from the aircraft. Helicopters may be flown at less
				than the minimum prescribed herein if such operations are conducted without
				hazard to persons or property on the surface and in accordance with subdivision
				(1) of this section; however, the department, in the interest of safety, may
				prescribe specific routes and altitudes for such operations, in which event
				helicopters shall conform thereto. This regulation recognizes the special
				flight characteristics of the helicopter which can accomplish an emergency
				landing within a relatively small space. However, if a helicopter is flown over
				the congested area of a city, town or settlement at less than one thousand feet
				above the highest obstacle, the pilot is required to fly with due regard to
				places in which an emergency landing can be made with safety and, further, to
				maintain an altitude along the flight path thus selected from which such an
				emergency landing can be effected at any time;
(3) Over other than congested areas: An
				altitude of five hundred feet above the surface, except over open water. In
				such event the aircraft shall not be operated closer than five hundred feet to
				any person, vessel, vehicle or structure. The limitation of five hundred feet
				above the surface shall not apply when making an occasional landing at other
				than a licensed airport or restricted landing area. Helicopters may be flown at
				less than the minimums prescribed herein if such operations are conducted
				without hazard to persons or property on the surface and in accordance with
				subdivision (1) of this section. When flight is necessary at an altitude of
				less than five hundred feet above the surface, the pilot shall avoid creating
				any hazard to persons or property on the surface which may result from such
				flight. In no event shall the pilot expose his passengers to unnecessary hazard
				while engaging flight at low altitude. The maneuverability of the helicopter
				permits safe flight below the minimums required, if good judgment and caution
				are exercised by the pilot.

			 where the slope reaches a height of fifty (50) feet above the elevation of the
			 runway end or fifty (50) feet above the terrain at the outer extremity of the
			 clear zone, whichever distance is shorter.
(c) "Primary Surface" means surface
			 longitudinally centered on a runway. When the runway has a specially prepared
			 hard surface, the primary surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that
			 runway; but when the runway has no specially prepared hard surface, or planned
			 hard surface, the primary surface ends at each end of that runway. The
			 elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of
			 the nearest point on the runway centerline. The width of a primary surface is:
(1) 250 feet for utility runways having only
			 visual approaches.
(2) 500 feet for
			 utility runways having nonprecision instrument approaches.
(3) For other than utility runways the width
			 is:
(i) 500 feet for visual runways having
			 only visual approaches.
(ii) 500
			 feet for nonprecision instrument runways having visibility minimums greater
			 than three-fourths statute mile.
(iii) 1,000 feet for a nonprecision
			 instrument runway having a nonprecision instrument approach with visibility
			 minimums as low as three-fourths of a statute mile, and for precision
			 instrument runways.
The width of the primary surface of a runway will be that width
				prescribed in this section for the most precise approach existing or planned
				for either end of that runway.

Anchorage
			 or mooring area buoy.
An anchorage or mooring area buoy shall designate
			 areas where boats may be anchored or moored. An anchorage or mooring area buoy
			 shall be white, except that yellow buoys shall be used to mark quarantine
			 anchorage areas. White buoys with a clearly visible horizontal blue band around
			 the circumference of the buoy centered midway between the top of the buoy and
			 the waterline shall be used to mark individual vessel moorings.
(b)
Diver's flag.
A diver shall
			 mark his position with a diver's flag. The diver's flag shall be two sided and
			 shall be of stiff material or fitted with stiffener(s) or batten(s) so that it
			 remains unfurled. It shall consist of a red background not less than thirteen
			 inches in height by fifteen inches in width with a white diagonal stripe not
			 less than three inches in width running downward from the top corner of the
			 flag where attached to the staff to the opposite lower corner. On flags so used

			 white diagonal stripe shall be of reflectorized material. The diver's flag
			 shall be made of nylon, plastic, or other waterproof material and shall be
			 supported by a stiff mast not less than twenty inches in length. Each mast
			 shall be fixed to the boat from which divers are operating or to a float of
			 sufficient size and stability to support the masted flag in a vertical upright
			 position.
(c) Not more than four
			 persons shall use the same diver's flag simultaneously, except when engaged in
			 underwater swimming or diving from an anchored vessel displaying such flag in
			 which case the number of persons using the same flag shall be limited to the

Construction.
Navigational markers shall be buoys or beacons
			 lighted or unlighted and whose size, shape, color and material are as
			 designated in this section and approved by the Commissioner upon
			 application.
(b)
Colors and
			 purposes.
(1)
Well defined
			 channels.
Solid-green and solid-red colored buoys indicate well-defined
			 channels. A red and a green buoy shall be installed at both ends of the
			 channel. Any staggering of the green and red buoys shall be limited to
			 instances where they are close enough together to eliminate any possible
			 confusion, and they shall be installed in conformity with the buoys at the
			 beginning of the channel. If numbers are used, such numbers shall be colored
			 white and may be reflectorized. Odd numbers shall be used on green buoys and
			 even numbers on red buoys. To distinguish the state uniform system from the
			 federal lateral system, all numbered state uniform system navigational marker
			 buoys shall have the prefix CT before the number. In cases where there are no
			 numbers, the letters CT shall be painted white.
(2)
Channels not well-defined.
Where there is no well-defined channel, or where the obstruction is of such a
			 nature or in such a location that it can be approached from more than one
			 direction, a cardinal system shall be used, by using a white colored buoy with
			 a red top or a white buoy with a green top, the width of the top color to be
			 approximately one-third of the portion of the buoy showing above the water
			 level. Navigation shall be to the south or west of the red-topped buoys, and to
			 the north or east of the green-topped buoys. Numbers may be used on these
			 buoys. If numbers are used, they shall be colored white and may be
			 reflectorized and shall be placed in the top portion of the buoy. Odd numbers
			 shall be used on green-topped buoys and even numbers on red-topped buoys. This
			 subdivision pertains to state waters only.
(3)
Reflectorized material.
If
			 reflectorized material or reflectors are used, the reflective color red shall
			 be used on solid-red colored buoys and the reflective color green shall be used
			 on solid-green colored buoys except where numbers are painted, in which case,
			 the number's reflective color shall be white. All other buoys used in the
			 cardinal system may have silver or white reflectors or reflectorized
			 material.
(4)
Navigational
			 lights.
All navigational lights shall be flashing; the color of the
			 light lens shall be red for solid-red colored buoys, green for solid-green
			 colored buoys and white for all other buoys.
(5)
Lights on bridges.
All
			 lights on bridges shall be fixed red lights marking the edges of the safe
			 channel with a single fixed green light placed over the center of the safe
			 channel to indicate maximum vertical clearance at that point.
