This seems to be the reasoning behind the proposal.. At this time
there is not an FBO operating on the field. The manager (or the city
through the manger) wants to require that all CFI who teach at the
field hold scheduled office hours and maintain office space. A&P's
are allowed to operate on the field unregulated. It seems to me that
any time one of the dozens of student/instructor combos does a touch
and go at the field, they'd be violatingthe rules set by the manager..- Hide quoted text -


The issue is confusing. Mather Airport in Sacramento also has the same
ban. Any CFI doing business there *MUST* have office space there.
There was an FBO from a nearby airport that wanted to purchase tie
down and allow pilots to rent their planes from Mather (on your honor,
no FBO office there). The airport found out about it and removed them.
This FBO is already fully insured, etc so that wasn't the issue. I
think the issue is keeping office space rented so non-aviation
businesses don't try to move in.
