Sec. 152.11  Incorporation by reference.



    (a) Mandatory standards. The advisory circulars listed in appendix B 

to this part are incorporated into this part by reference. The Director, 

Office of Airport Standards, determines the scope and content of the 

technical standards to be included in each advisory circular in appendix 

B, and may add to, or delete from, appendix B any advisory circular or 

part thereof. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, these 

guidelines are mandatory standards.

    (b) Modification of standards. When necessary to meet local 

conditions, any technical standard set forth in appendix B may be 

modified for individual projects, if it is determined that the 

modifications will provide an acceptable level of safety, economy, 

durability, and workmanship. The determination and modification may be 

made by the Director, Office of Airport Standards, or the appropriate 

Regional Director, in instances where the authority has not been 

specifically reserved by the Director, Office of Airport Standards.

    (c) State standards. Standards established by a state for airport 

development at general aviation airports in the state may be the 

standards applicable to those airports when they have been approved by 

the Director, Office of Airport Standards, or the appropriate Regional 

Director, in instances where approval authority has not been 

specifically reserved by the Director, Office of Airport Standards.

    (d) Availability of advisory circulars. The advisory circulars 

listed in appendix B may be inspected and copied at any FAA Regional 

Office or Airports District Office. Copies of the circulars that are
