Jun 29, 2016 at 13:08 comment added Pondlife I'm a bit confused about what you're asking here. Your question title asks if 14 can be used legally for landings, but your own answer is about instrument approaches at other airports. Are you asking how close an obstruction is allowed to be to an approach path? And I don't immediately see what the city vs. airport issue has to do with this, apart from being interesting background.

Jun 29, 2016 at 0:32 comment added Pondlife The Chart Supplement says that no landings are allowed on 14 so I don't see how you could land there legally, at least without declaring an emergency. Or are you thinking about some more general regulation that applies everywhere?

Jun 28, 2016 at 23:03 comment added DeltaLima Nice follow up! It can't be used for instrument approaches because it doesn't meet the required obstacle clearance.
