However, in my case as a renter, it would be good for me. The hangar

nice day to fly (yes, open cockpit) and I cannot get my plane out
because he has moved my plane and wrestled all the cars in there.
Yes, I know, it's his hangar, but I get burned paying $145/month and
then can't always use my plane when I want...

I'll take it as a given that your complaint is valid, but even then I'm not
sure why such contractual conflicts have to literally become a federal
issue for you to get them resolved.

Oh...I'm not saying that that the Feds need to or necessarily should
"resolve" conflicts like mine (which really is minor and after this
happened to me once, I let the owner know that I do fly in the winter...
he assumed I didn't since it is an open cockpit plane). I "think" where
the issue stems from is that some folks (like my hangar owner) lets
non-aviaiton folks store their cars in his hangar and they come out and
move their cars in and out and have to drive down the taxiway to get to
our row of hangars. The Feds probably get uptight about security
(which, again, isn't the only way this issue gets their undies in a
bunch, I'm sure.) We do not (yet, and hopefully NEVER) have a "real"
fence around the airport...just a barb-wire fence and a non-locked
cattle gate across the driveway....
