This is the terminal at KSTS. Someone mentioned to me that your can't overfly this area. (I fly helicopters direct to the ramp adjacent.) What regulations discuss this? I don't see it in the AIM.

  • I don't see anything on the FAA Airport Diagram either, 155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1810/00696AD.PDF Wouldn't a helicopter normally airtaxi over the regular taxi lines? Have a look in the FARs for "keepout area" or "restricted area" perhaps.

I believe it's a non-standard marking to indicate a Security Identification Display Area (SIDA), where you need a specific badge to have access. The TSA sets the requirements for access. If you zoom in you can see the words "AIRLINE EMPLOYEES ONLY" beside the markings.



I don't think there's any standard marking for SIDAs. There was a proposal in the draft version of AC 150/5340-1K - Standards for Airport Markings (see section 5.15 for all the details):




The SIDA marking is a rectangular stripe with white legends that are
centered within a red background. Paint colors are per AC 150/5370-2,
Item P-620, Runway and Taxiway Painting.




But, it didn't make it into the final version:




Drops a proposed new surface marking for areas designated by the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the airport operator
as a security identification display area (SIDA) (reassigned paragraph
5.15 to cover markings for aircraft deicing facilities and removed proposed figure C-14). TSA accepted the task to address future
markings for the airside.




And as ymb1 pointed out in a comment, it's not in the current version of that AC either. Presumably the TSA is still working on it.



If you look at a SIDA at another airport, you can see differences. The SIDA at KLEX (Lexington, KY) is marked by a single red line, for example:

  • Yup, you nailed it. I couldn't remember the acronym he had used. Still trying to determine if there is really an overflight restriction (if it were unoccupied) or if it's just a good idea to avoid it. As helicopter pilots we get clearance to land on taxiways and non-movement areas "at pilots own risk". We can generally maneuver as needed to reach the touchdown (avoiding overflight or people and taxing and parked aircraft) So I was surprised to hear there might be part of the ramp that you can't overfly.

  • @JohnHutchinson SIDAs are airport-specific, so you could ask the airport management. But I'm pretty sure that no such rule exists: if you're airborne, how can other people see if you're wearing a badge, and challenge you if you aren't? Having said all that, "don't invite unnecessary attention from the TSA" is a universally accepted rule ;-) Maybe that was the practical point of what you were told.
