Through The Fence' Advocate: New FAA Policy Adversely Affects All Airports

Slight Change In Wording Could Cause Major Changes In Airport Access

The FAA's new Airport Compliance Manual adversely affects every federally funded airport by telling local airports how to deal with their neighbors, according to the advocacy group "Through The Fence".  The new policy would appear to forbid local airport authorities from entering into new "through-the-fence" agreements with surrounding land owners, and requires non-renewal of current agreements at the end of their contract term.  The rule, which replaces the word "discourage" with "prohibit", affects thousands of businesses, pilots, aircraft hangars, and hangar homes connected by gated taxiways to airport property.

Brent Blue, the creator of www.throughthefence.org, told ANN the FAA, in responding this week to two Freedom of Information Act requests, could not provide any data to support new prohibitions on "through-the-fence" (TTF) agreements.  The new prohibitions were announced in the Airport Compliance Manual 5190.6B unveiled September 30, 2009, which was prepared without any public input or comment.
