The present invention is designed to instrumentation and methods for providing runway obstacle clearance for instrument and non-instrument landing of an aircraft. The device provides a simple method of determining if there are any obstacles within the FAA required path of landing of an aircraft. Typically, there are trees and other obstacles which have to be precisely located to determine if such trees and other obstacles are within the required clearance space for permitted landing of an aircraft. This is particularly important when visual verification of the landing of the aircraft is required.
