The FAA FSDO, Bob Newell is very careful when he tells me that the
verbiage in the "Grant Assurance Clause" will have all of the answers

"I think" he's probably referring to the airport requiring the same
for all. Ours did the same, but eventually the requirements for a
business being applied to an individual were counter productive. They
did pass some rules requiring registration of those doing maintenance
(through the fence) and some fees . So far they haven't enforced such.

They are about as easy to get as the daily newspaper...OK, almost.
Call the AOPA (which has been suggested several times) and ask for
"FAA Order 5190.6A, Airport Compliance handbook, Grant Assurances, and
Airport Improvement Trust Fund" These three booklets should have the
information you need and they are free. I'm looking at a set and it
only took a phone call to the AOPA get them.
The AOPA can give you more, good and up-to-date information in one
phone call than you'll get on here in a month.

I'd have to get it from Sand Springs. In essence, and according to
Bob Newell at the Oklahoma FSDO, the FAA is telling me that I am on my

I hope that anyone reading this message board understands that this is
not about me. This is about you and your tax dollars being used to
build hundreds of beautiful airports all over the country that you in
fact are not welcome to use.
I have legal representation, and god willing I'll have the finances to
fight this. In the mean time, be careful if you get your plane worked
on, or your flight review performed at Sand Springs, William Pogue
Airport- it might not be legal...hehehehe
I wonder if it would be legal to get a blow-up doll, dress it as a
Spartan Student and teach it how to fly for free, all day every day at
the sand Springs William Pogue airport, just a thought...
