Rule 5501:1-2-01 | Requirements of certification.
 

(A) Each aircraft operations area (AOA) must be maintained for safe operation of aircraft under normal weather conditions.

(B) All airports must be equipped with an operating wind indicator.

(C) Each landing area must be in such condition that two aircraft at rest on the same runway shall be visible to each other except at airports where traffic control exists and is exercised.

(D) Turf runways shall be marked with runway boundary and threshold markers visible from one thousand feet above ground level. Hard surface runways shall be marked with runway numbers visible from one thousand feet above ground level.

(E) Each landing area shall not be less than eighteen hundred feet usable length by sixty feet width turf or hard surface unless the office of aviation finds that the airport, landing field, or landing area was constructed prior to January 1, 1998. Airports, landing fields, or landing areas constructed prior to January 1, 1998, must maintain their existing usable length and width but are otherwise exempt from the useable length and width requirements until a significant change to the existing configuration of the runway is completed. A significant change is determined by the office of aviation but includes any change to the runway length or width, runway orientation, addition or removal of displaced threshold, runway surface treatment change (e.g. turf to hard surface) or addition of a taxiway.
