Some quick things I noticed:
- North Island data doesn't appear to be fully represented. e.g. it doesn't have noise contours for NASNI.
- We need to start building supertalls in Chula Vista ASAP.
- I find it interesting that there's no max height limit for Imperial Beach/San Ysidro area, less than a mile from the end of TIJ's or NOLF Imperial Beach's runways

Haha, I was hoping people wouldn't try looking outside of downtown...
Okay, disclaimer time: At the moment, this map
only includes data from San Diego International Airport. It is intended only as a preliminary planning tool. Final determination of comparability with all applicable ALUCPs (Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans) is provided via a formal ALUC Consistency Determination, which will be done if necessary as part of your city's permitting process. There may be other factors which can effect height limits or usages of a particular property, which can only be determined via detailed study and/or consultation with other regulatory agencies (aka the FAA). For site-specific guidance, please email
[email protected] with your proposed development details.
(Also, my posting here does not represent the San Diego Airport Authority, the FAA, or any other agency in any form. I am just a random person on the internet providing info
)
All that said, this is probably the single most comprehensive mapping of airspace anywhere in the US, maybe in the world. The tool is pretty damn accurate for downtown, Mission Hills, Midway, Northern Point Loma, OB and other areas that are only really effected by SDIA. I'm sure there are a lot of developers in San Jose and Boston who are very, very jealous of their counterparts in San Diego right now.
Mapping the other airports in the region would be nice, but it's not clear if the expense would be worth it. Also the military airfields likely won't be willing to give as much info as civilian ones, probably just the noise maps, safety areas, and Part 77 surface info they already do. Tijuana airport, being in Mexico, isn't required to provide anything and doesn't. I wouldn't expect that to change. In those areas you'll still be very reliant on the old "apply and see what happens" approach.
