"Primary surface" means a 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 of the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point of the runway centerline.

Section 5.

A restricted use airport is not required to have a paved runway or taxiway.

Section 6.

The restriction may be to use by a person or class of people or to limit the use of the airport to a certain type of aircraft or to certain aircraft in the interest of safety of air navigation in this state.

Section 7.

In determining the restriction that may be issued under Section 6 of this administrative regulation, the cabinet shall consider the length and width of the runway, location, layout, safety of operations, whether the adjoining area is free from obstructions, the nature of the terrain, the nature of the uses to which the airport and surrounding area will be put, and types of aircraft that may utilize the restricted use airport.
