(1) Use of markers. Markers should be used to
				mark obstructions when it has been determined that it is impracticable to mark
				such obstructions by use of surface colors, or it has been determined that
				markers should be used to provide protection for aeronautics in addition to
				that provided by the application of aviation surface orange and white
				colors.
(2) General application.
				Markers used to mark obstructions should be displayed on or adjacent to the
				obstruction in conspicuous positions so as to retain the general definition of
				the obstruction. The size of such marker shall be a visible surface from all
				directions not less than that of a 36 inch sphere the length of which shall not
				exceed twice its median width: Provided, however, That the commission may
				approve a nonconforming marker.
(3)
				Shape. The shape of such markers should be distinctive to the extent necessary
				to insure that they are not mistaken for markers employed to convey other
				information, and they should be such that the hazard presented by the
				obstruction they mark is not increased.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Flags may be used to mark obstructions
				when it has been determined that marking such obstructions by coloring or by
				markers is technically impracticable.
(2) The flags should be displayed around or
				on top of the obstruction or around its highest edge and should not increase
				the hazard presented by the obstruction they mark. When flags are used to mark
				extensive obstructions or groups of closely spaced obstructions, they should be
				displayed at approximately 50 foot intervals.
(3) The flags should be rectangular in shape
				and have stiffeners to keep them from drooping in calm or light wind. The flag
				stakes should be of such strength and height that they will support the flags
				free of the ground, vegetation, or nearby surfaces.
(4) The flags should be in accordance with
				one of the following patterns:
(a) Solid color
				aviation surface orange not less than two feet on a side.
(b) Two triangular sections, one of aviation
				surface orange and the other of aviation surface white, combined to form a
				rectangle not less than two feet on a side.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Maximum visibility of obstructions by
				contrast in colors can best be obtained by the use of aviation surface orange
				and white. Paints and enamels of these colors have been developed for use by
				government agencies and private industry in marking obstructions to air
				navigation. In marking, either the aviation surface orange paint or enamel may
				be used as preferred.
(2) The
				painted surfaces of obstructions should be cleaned or repainted as often as
				necessary to maintain good visibility.
(3) If the smooth surface of the paint on the
				ladders, decks, and walkways of certain types of steel towers and similar
				structures presents a potential danger to maintenance personnel, such surfaces
				need not be painted. However, the omission of paint should be restricted to
				actual surfaces the painting of which will present a hazard to maintenance
				personnel, and care should be taken that the over-all marking effect of the
				painting is not reduced.
(4) Solid.
				Obstructions the projection of which on any vertical plane has both dimensions
				less than 5 feet should be colored aviation surface orange.
(5) Bands.
(a) Towers, poles, smokestacks and similar
				obstructions, as well as buildings of certain shape and dimensions, having
				essentially unbroken surfaces the projection of which on any vertical plane is
				5 feet or more in one dimension and is less than 15 feet in the other
				dimension, and any skeleton or smokestack type obstruction having both
				dimensions 5 feet or more, should be colored to show alternate bands of
				aviation surface orange and white.
(b) The bands should be perpendicular to the
				major axis of the obstruction with the band at each end colored aviation
				surface orange. The widths of the bands should be equal and the width of each
				band should be approximately one-seventh of the length of the major axis of the
				obstruction, provided that each band shall have a width of not more than 40
				feet nor less 1 1/2 feet. If it is technically impracticable to color the roof
				of a building to show alternate bands of aviation surface orange and white,
				such roof may be colored aviation surface orange.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Introduction. In order to provide uniform
				criteria for determining obstructions to air navigation, this standard has been
				adopted by the Washington state aeronautics commission.
(2) Directive. In accordance with the
				procedure for establishing technical aeronautical standards specified in state
				obstruction marking and lighting law, "Criteria for determining obstructions to
				air navigation" set forth below is established as a state standard. This
				standard is the official Washington state aeronautics commission guide for
				determining obstructions to air navigation and supersedes all existing
				obstruction criteria which do not conform to its requirements.
(3) Specific instructions. Procedure for
				determining obstructions.
(a) Any structure
				or obstacle which obstructs the air space above ground or water level, when
				determined by the commission after a hearing to be a hazard or potential hazard
				to the safe flight of aircraft, shall be plainly marked, illuminated, painted,
				lighted or designated in a manner to be approved in accordance with the general
				rules and regulations of the commission so that the same will be clearly
				visible to airmen. In determining which structures or obstacles constitute or
				may become a hazard to air flight, the commission shall take into account only
				those obstacles located at river, lake and canyon crossings and in other low
				altitude flight paths usually traveled by aircraft. (Same as RCW
				14.04.340.)
(b) The director shall
				have the authority to require owners, operators, lessees or others having the
				control or management of structures or obstacles over one hundred fifty feet
				above ground or water level and which are or may become a hazard to air flight
				to report the location of such existing or proposed structures or obstacles to
				the commission. For that purpose the director may issue subpoenas and subpoenas
				duces tecum returnable within twenty days to the commission. In the event a
				person refuses to obey the director's subpoena, the commission may certify to
				the superior court all facts of any such refusal. The court shall summarily
				hear evidence on such refusal, and, if the evidence warrants, punish such
				person refusing in the same manner and to the same extent as for contempt
				committed before the court. (Same as RCW 14.04.350.)
(c) Objects which are located or will be
				located with respect to other objects of a permanent character such that there
				results no material increase in the aeronautical hazard will not be considered
				obstructions.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 468 - Transportation, Department of (See Title 88) › Chapter 468-240 - Obstruction marking and lighting › APPENDIX › Section 468-240-370 - Appendix rules - Operation of moored balloons

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Scope. The following rules shall apply to
				moored balloons when operated anywhere in the state of Washington at altitude
				controlled by state law.
(2)
				General. Moored balloons may be operated without permit from or notice to the
				state when operated less than 150 feet above the surface at a location not
				usually traveled by aircraft.
(3)
				Operation requiring a permit. Unless operated under the conditions specified in
				"general" moored balloons subject to these regulations shall be operated under
				the authority of and in compliance with the terms and conditions of a permit
				issued by the state aeronautics commission when such moored balloons are
				operated:
(a) Closer than 500 feet to the base
				of any cloud; or
(b) During the
				hours of darkness; or
(c) When
				ground visibility is less than 3 miles; or
(d) At altitudes more than 150 feet above the
				surface; or
(e) In a location
				usually traveled by aircraft.
