Question 1

Do I need an AAI NOC to build near the Raigarh airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every structure within 20 km of Raigarh Airport's Aerodrome Reference Point requires an AAI height clearance NOC under GSR 751(E) before construction begins. The airport's private JSPL ownership does not reduce or waive this obligation.

Question 2

Is Raigarh a VFR or IFR airport and how does that change the NOC radius?

Accepted Answer

Raigarh Airport is a VFR (Visual Flight Rules) airfield. Under GSR 751(E), the mandatory NOC radius for VFR airports is 20 km from the ARP. This is narrower than the 56 km radius that applies to IFR airports.

Question 3

What is the airport funnel zone and how does it affect plots near Kondatarai?

Accepted Answer

The funnel zone runs along runway 10/28 approach paths through Kondatarai. Permitted height equals 2% of distance from the runway edge. A plot 1,000 m from the edge is capped at just 20 m AGL.

Question 4

Does Raigarh airport's lack of scheduled UDAN flights exempt nearby plots from height restrictions?

Accepted Answer

No. GSR 751(E) applies to all licensed civil aerodromes regardless of scheduled service status. Raigarh's removal from UDAN bidding in 2025 has no bearing on the 20 km NOC radius or OLS height limits.

Question 5

How is the permitted building height calculated for a plot near Raigarh?

Accepted Answer

AAI calculates height in AMSL. Subtract your plot's surveyed ground elevation from the CCZM Permissible Top Elevation to get the AGL ceiling. Apply via NOCAS at nocas2.aai.aero with WGS84 coordinates.

Question 6

What happens if a building near Raigarh airport is built without the AAI NOC?

Accepted Answer

Violation of GSR 751(E) can result in denial of Occupancy Certificate, official show-cause notices, and court-ordered demolition of non-compliant portions. The property buyer inherits this legal liability after registry.

Question 7

Can the Chhattisgarh TCP or local body approve my building plan without the AAI NOC?

Accepted Answer

Only if a CCZM has been published for Raigarh Airport and your plot's top elevation stays below the CCZM Permissible Top Elevation. If no CCZM is published, all height clearances must be obtained directly from AAI through NOCAS.
