Question 1

What is the Raipur airport funnel zone and does it affect my plot near Naya Raipur?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can. Swami Vivekananda Airport is IFR-classified, so the AAI NOC radius extends 56 km from the ARP. The funnel surface along runway 06/24 caps height at 2% of distance from the runway edge. Check your CCZM grid on the NOCAS portal before finalizing any plot purchase.

Question 2

Do I need an AAI NOC to build near Raipur airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your building's proposed top elevation in AMSL exceeds the CCZM Permitted Top Elevation for your grid. Below that ceiling, local bodies can approve directly without referring to AAI. Above it, apply through NOCAS before any construction begins. No construction work shall start before NOC is issued.

Question 3

How is AMSL height calculated for a plot near Raipur airport?

Accepted Answer

Subtract your plot's certified ground elevation in meters AMSL from the CCZM permitted top elevation for your grid square. Raipur airport sits at 317.29 m AMSL, a high plateau. Even plots near Mana carry substantial ground elevation that compresses your usable AGL building height more than buyers expect.

Question 4

What is the maximum building height near Swami Vivekananda Airport?

Accepted Answer

In the approach funnel along runway 06/24, permitted height equals 2% of distance from the runway edge: 1,000 m away allows only 20 m of height above ground. Within 4 km of the runway ends (Inner Horizontal Surface), the cap is approximately 45 m AGL before mandatory AAI NOC approval is required.

Question 5

What happens if a building near Raipur airport violates height restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Violations are enforceable under the Aircraft (Demolition of Obstructions caused by Buildings and Trees) Rules, 1994. Courts can order demolition of non-compliant floors regardless of construction stage or investment made. No Raipur Municipal Corporation or TCP approval overrides a statutory AAI height restriction under GSR 751(E).

Question 6

Can I buy land near Abhanpur without facing Raipur airport construction restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Buying land in Abhanpur is unrestricted. The restriction governs what you build, not ownership. Abhanpur sits southwest of runway 24's approach axis and within the 56 km IFR radius. Any structure above the CCZM permitted top elevation for your specific grid requires a mandatory AAI NOC via NOCAS before construction starts.

Question 7

Where can I view the official CCZM map for Raipur airport?

Accepted Answer

The AAI CCZM for Raipur is published on the NOCAS portal under the CCZM tab. Heights shown are in AMSL. Deduct your certified plot ground elevation to find your actual permitted building height above ground. If your grid is colored red, file an NOC application directly with AAI through NOCAS before any construction.
