Airport and Heliport Setbacks
This dataset represents a first-order quantification of airport and heliport setback requirements based on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 14 CFR Part 77.9. It defines the following FAA notice criteria that we use to create runway buffers. Runways longer than 3,200 feet receive a 20,000 foot buffer, runways less than 3,200 feet long receive a buffer of 10,000 feet, and heliports receive a buffer of 5,000 feet. A setback requirement is a minimum distance from an airport or heliport that an energy project may be developed.

"description": "In this, the 2023 edition of this report, we present new estimates of the technical potential for
land-based wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) for the contiguous United States (CONUS). We
also provide cost estimates for the available resources, presenting representative supply curves
that can be used in downstream modeling and analysis. Additionally, we introduce new
methodologies used to estimate wind capacity, wind energy losses, transmission cost and
representation, updated technology cost and design, and scenarios of siting constraints designed
to help bound the uncertainty of renewable potential"
