February 8, 2008, Newsletter Issue #58: Defining the Private – Public Airport

Tip of the Week

A private - public airport is an airport that is privately owned, but publicly used. Let’s say you buy an established local airport. They have a flight school, rows of hangers for planes and also sell gas. Anyone -- depending on the class of air space you operate in -- can land there assuming their plane fits on your runway. Since this is private property, the owners dictate the rules and policies, such as when people can buy gas.

As for services and operational standards, the FAA will keep a close eye on that. Safety programs have been put in place to protect the pilots and property. The FAA wants to see up-to-date records on rental planes, all lights in working order and staff and crews complying with regulations that apply to their type of service, such as a flight school orair charter service.
