Aircraft shall be parked only in a prescribed tie-down area or in a hangar unless otherwise instructed by the Airport Director. It is unlawful to park an Aircraft so as to restrict the flow of traffic within tie-down areas or on taxiways.

(Ord. 3480 §2, 1971; Ord. 5203, 2001; Ord. 5557, 2011)

It is unlawful to repair an Aircraft, engine, propeller, or apparatus on the Airport unless the area has been designated for that purpose by the Airport Director; except Aircraft owners may personally perform preventative maintenance on their own Aircraft in their assigned tie-down areas or hangars. Preventative Maintenance as used in this section is defined as those activities identified as preventative maintenance in Federal Aviation Regulation Part 43, Appendix A, except the spray application of paints and other similar decorative or protective coatings is prohibited. Aircraft owners personally performing preventative maintenance to their Aircraft must prevent the release of lubricants and other contaminants into the environment and ensure proper disposal of all wastes resulting from Aircraft maintenance activities.

A. Removal of inoperable aircraft. The owner of dismantled or inoperable Aircraft, or parts thereof, parked within the Airport, but excluding wrecked, damaged or disabled Aircraft located on or adjacent to a runway or taxiway, must remove such Aircraft, or parts thereof, from the Airport within seven days of receipt of written notice from the Airport Director requesting such removal. The Aircraft, or parts thereof, may be moved to a non-public leased facility and out of public view subject to approval of the Airport Director.

B. Requirement to move parked aircraft. At the request of the Airport Director, in the interest of public safety and to preserve all necessary accesses, the operator, owner or pilot of any Aircraft on the Airport must move the Aircraft from the place where it is parked or stored to any other designated place on the Airport. If the owner, pilot or operator refuses to comply with this direction, the Airport Director may move the Aircraft at the owner's expense and without liability for damage that may result from such move.
