February 1, 2008, Newsletter Issue #57: Defining the Private Airport

Tip of the Week

Throughout the country there are thousands of airports peppering the landscape. Some are big, some are small. Some are public and some are private. But are private planes and jets allowed to land at any airport they choose? The answer is no.

But what if it’s an emergency? Even if a plane’s landing distance is well within the limits of the runway, the answer is still no if it has been identified as a private – private airport. This means someone has done the necessary paperwork with the FAA and local authorities to install it for their personal use. It is defined on a VFR chart for private non-public use. Private - private airports are not governed heavily by FAA regulations, which means after contacting local authorities and the FAA field office, you could be on your way to having your very own airport.
