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 have no less than eighteen hundred feet usable length by sixty feet width turf or hard surface. Each landing area must also be in such condition that two aircraft at rest on the same runway are visible to each other, except at airports where air traffic control exists. Airports, landing fields, or landing areas constructed prior to January 1, 1998 must maintain their existing usable length and width and are otherwise exempt from the usable 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.
(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.
