No one has "scanned" him at the grass strip, and thus he is not "clean". He could be carrying a s***load of explosives on board and tax over to the commercial planes, right? Doeas he have to stop at the taxiway and be "checked" out by security before taxiing to the hangar? Do you have any rules for these sort of things in the US or other parts? Some. There are no rules for scanning people loading and departing from private strips, and few (if any) rules at what we call uncontrolled airports. But you can't land a light plane at a commercial airport and just taxi up where the commercial planes are. At some airports (like Shenandoah Valley Regional in Virginia), there's a line on the pavement. You stay on one side and the commercial guys are on the other. You could get as close as perhaps 30 meters before someone yells at you. On one hand, a suicide pilot could cross that line and travel that 30 meters before anyone could stop him. On the other hand, the commercial flights out of SHD carry only perhaps 15 passengers. At a larger airport (such as Knoxville, Tennessee), the closest you could get without the controller complaining would be more like 200 meters. It's much more likely that someone on the ground could do something to stop you if you tried to taxi into an airliner there. At a major airport (such as Atlanta or Newark), there's no way you'd be able to get anywhere near the commercial planes.
