For this information, you need to call your local airport authority. your intended launch pad, cannot be anywhere near the glide path of departing or landing aircraft.

These days (since 9/11) I would like to think that you need to be pretty far away. So far that there is not even the 'appearance' of a threat.

I think it's technically 5 miles, but there are some model rocket clubs that fly from airports. I'd call the airport just to make sure. Make sure to have altitude and weight information handy.
