 Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:18 pm Post subject: Creating a private airstrip |
 |
|
I have heard a lot of comments as to what needs to be done to have a personal airstrip. It may differer from state to state and the county or city. I live in SW Florida and have my own airstrip for 8 years and had I listened to the local authorities I wouldn't have it. I do live in a rural area of the county but when I starting fencing it in to keep week end 4 wheels from tearing it up I was sited and told I couldn't have an airstrip. I then researched the federal, state and local codes and definitions plus past court cases when a personal airstrip had been denied by the zoning departments. The end results are that I put packages together with my finding and gave them to the departments who was or would be involved . I had met with the county attorney after being told by code enforcement that it was illegal and I could not get a permit for my airstrip. Two days after giving my packets to the persons involved including the county attorney I was called to her office. I was told I could have my airstrip and was not required to have a permit (plus I have that in writing). As I told her I had hoped to go to court and challenge them and their self imposed regulation that they would to see or be paid to apply for. I guess what I am saying just don't take their word that it is the law or in the code regulation...research.

No, it's just a great big sod farm, perfect for PPGs which the owner gave us permission for... I don't think he'd want a bunch of planes rolling on his grass, though I have flown in with my Ultrastar.

Are you still talking ultralights wanting to use that strip, or
N-numbered aircraft? Because if everybody has an N number, you go back
and tell them you want to use that strip, and you want a Letter of
Agreement. And if the tower chief says no, then you bring the slowest
N-numbered puddle futzers in the area out to his airport and get in the
touch and go pattern every chance you can for as long as it takes...
And if anybody complains, (and everybody will) you just announce over
the frequency "Well, we would like to use the strip that is four and a
half miles away, but the FAA won't let us, because it is JUST inside
the class D, so we have to come here."
The mission of the FAA is the safe, orderly and expeditious use of
airspace, not the denial of it to anybody. So if they start denying you
the use of YOUR airspace (it's not theirs, it is yours) then you deny
them the ability to do anything orderly or expeditious. And make sure
they know it.
Anyway, that's the sort of thing I would do -
