Thanks, but this isn't as helpful as I'd hoped. We don't employ
A&P/IAs. We contract with outside firms for those services. Since the
mechanics are not our employees, this means that they can be excluded by
the airport owner/manager.

Am I missing something?

"...to prevent any person, ..."

That statement appears to refer to the owner. That is, any person may
have employees performing services on that person's own aircraft. It
doesn't read (to me, anyway) that the airport must permit "any person" to
do the work on any aircraft.

You see this differently? Please, convince me!
