FAA Says Hangars No Place For Homebuilders


Having taken a look at the legislation, I have to say that I'm far from
certain that the FAA really has the power to say how hangars are to be used.

It probably should, given that the government is subsidising them, but
to my mind the legislation doesn't go that deep. The airport plan will
show where the hangars are, and the airport owner will not be able to
pull them down and erect something else, but as long as the hangars are
there, I can't see a constraint that they be used for aviation purposes.

Charging a market rate rent when a hangar is not used for aviation
purposes appears to go against the express words of 49 USC 47107.a(13)(B).
