The idea of "through the fence" operations at airports that receiving
federal funding.. is that the airport management may have problems with
security and animal control to the runways if they cannot close a fence.

There is mention that aircraft stored off airport on adjacent property to
the airport should have access, but should pay the same fee as those tied
down on airport. This is under the consideration that an airport should be
self supporting and how to raise $.

The only mention of "Light Sport" is that the new rating exists and that
those operating under that new classification of aircraft and rating need to
be considered in the same vein as Ultralights, gliders and balloons.

I heard yesterday that new federal regulations were being proposed
that would restrict/prevent access to federally funded airports by
"off airport" aircraft. What was mention to me was in the context of
trailered light sport but, if true, this could seriously impact
sailplane activities in USA.

Anyone else heard of this proposal and could perhaps provide a URL
where the actual proposal can be read. Is it an extension of the
proposed "through the fence" restrictions?
