6/24/75 AC 150/5300-4B (2) The agreement or lease will clearly identify what the tenant is permitted to do. This represents a franchise right to conduct a business of offering commodities and services to those attracted to the airport. It will cite the applicable standards, codes, or ordinances covering the exercise of the franchise. If the airport owner believes, for instance, that the patronage at the airport may some day justify a restaurant concession, he will be careful not to grant to the aeronautical tenants a permanent right to operate a snack bar in each hangar. The right to use the landing area should be for a separate consideration or payment since the use made of the landing area will vary with traffic. If a landing fee or toll charge is contemplated for others,the lease should clearly indicate who may use the landing area by virtue of the tenant's payments. The payment by the tenant for use of the landing area by his aircraft and those of his customers should not be "frozen" for the duration of a long term lease to real property. Even a utility airport may someday be expanded to accept jet aircraft, and the airport owner should be free to adjust the user charge .commensurate with the increased operating costs involved. (3) 71. AIRPORT REGULATIONS. The owner of a public airport should promulgate its policies and rules regarding the use of airport facilities. This may be done by local ordinance or through the publication of airport regulations. Such regulations are needed for the safety and protection of the public and to insure efficient use of airport facilities. a. Develop regulations to cover the safety of aircraft operations while maneuvering on and in the vicinity of the airport (taxiing, takeoff, traffic patterns, parking, starting engines, etc.). It is well to discuss these rules with the local FAA Flight Standards representative. b. Other matters to be covered by regulations include fire safety precautions; limitations on storage and handling of fuels; and restrictions on paint spraying, arc welding, or other potentially hazardous operations. Some rules or restrictions may be needed to protect paved areas from overloads. Other rules will be needed to insure sanitary conditions and to control trash disposal. Establish adequate regulations for vehicular traffic and automobile parking. In addition, regulations to control the public and prevent people from venturing upon the aircraft operating areas may be necessary. Chap 13 Par 70 Page 83
