Hemet Airport: FAA Ruling Supports Soaring Right of Airport Access
This is monumental.
The FAA ruling regarding the County of Riverside's banning of gliders from the HMT has been released and completely supports soarings continued use of HMT in So California. We did this for ourselves, and we did this for everybody in soaring. And we won! We all now have a legal foundation in case law that supports soarings right to fly at public use airports. Unless the public authority has an "FAA Safety Study", they can not ban sailplane operations. Sometimes the biggest news in soaring is not the new blinking gizmo on your panel. ;-) Thanks to many with special thanks to our attorney, Ron Cozad. The County has 30 days.... We kicked their butts!

Congratulations on fighting the good fight and winning! Here's hoping
the County decides to fold, and not torture you further. -john On Feb 15, 5:15 pm, HoUdino wrote: This is monumental.

It is truly astonishing that FAA ruled in favor of soaring operation. It's not amazing to me - I think they are pretty touchy about other people deciding who can and who can't use an airport that FAA funds went to. In our area, they were a major factor (years ago) in keeping the airspace open over the Hanford project area (640 square miles!), while DOE wanted to restrict it surface to 10,000'. The FAA can be quite helpful in preventing airport and airspace grabs by "other people", in my experience. So, please, no reflexive disparaging of the FAA. Hemet is not an isolated incident. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) |

The SSA has a link on its main page up at top of right hand column.
The decision is very detailed with many issues addressed. http://www.ssa.org/files/member/OC%2...%202.11.11.pdf The local newspapers should open up a barrage on the County by this weekend...it ain't over until they cry "uncle". We have momentum. LT Can you supply any links to documents? Vaughn |
