1. Introduction

   In order to encourage and ensure the provision of adequate services and facilities, the economic health of, and the orderly development of aviation and related aeronautical activities at the Brantley County Airport (4J1), and the Brantley County Airport Authority as Sponsor has established these minimum standards and requirements ("Minimum Standards").

   The following sections set forth the Minimum Standards prerequisite to a person or entity operating upon and engaging in one or more Commercial Aeronautical Activities at the airport. The minimum standards are not intended to be all-inclusive. Any person or entity engaging in Aviation Operations and/or Aeronautical Activities at the airport will be required to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws; ordinances; codes; and other similar regulatory measures pertaining to such activities.

   　

2. Statement of Policy

   The Authority intends to operate, manage, plan, finance, and develop the airport for its long-term financial health and safety in a manner consistent with accepted airport practices and applicable federal, state, and local policies and regulations.

   Accordingly, all applicants who perform Commercial Aeronautical Activities at the airport shall be accorded a fair and reasonable opportunity, without unlawful discrimination, to qualify and to compete (if applicable) to occupy available airport facilities. Applicants shall also have the opportunity to provide appropriate Aeronautical Activities subject to the Minimum Standards as established by the Sponsor.

   However, the granting of rights and privileges to individuals and businesses to engage in Aeronautical Activities shall not be construed in any manner as affording any Operator any exclusive right for use of the premises and/or facilities at the airport, other than those premises which may be leased exclusively to any Operator, and then only to the extent provided in a written lease and/or permit.

   While the Airport Manager has the authority to manage the airport (including the authority to interpret, administer, and enforce airport agreements and airport owner policies and the authority to permit temporary, short-term occupancy of the airport), the ultimate authority to grant the occupancy and use of airport real estate or permits allowing for the conduct of commercial aeronautical activities, and to approve, amend, or supplement all leases and permits is expressly reserved to the Sponsor.

   Many types of Aeronautical Activities may exist that are too varied to reasonably permit the establishment of specific Minimum Standards for each. When specific Aeronautical Activities that are proposed for conduct on the airport that do not fall within the categories documented, Minimum Standards can be developed on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the desires of the applicant and the airport, and the public demand for such service. The Sponsor can utilize a simple permit process to authorize such activities.

   　

3. Specialized Aviation Service Operation (SASO)

   The Authority recognizes that when specialized aviation service operations (SASOs), sometimes known as single service operators or special fixed base operators, apply to do business on the airport, difficulties can arise if the SASOs are required to comply with all provisions of published Minimum Standards. Accordingly, the Authority may develop reasonable, relevant, and applicable standards for each type and class of service. Examples of these specialized services may include flight training, airframe and power plant repair and maintenance, aircraft charter, air taxi or air ambulance, aircraft sales, avionics, instrument or propeller services or other specialized commercial flight support businesses. These Minimum Standards may be supplemented, amended, or modified by the Sponsor from time to time and in such manner and to such extent as is deemed reasonable and appropriate by the Sponsor.

4. Conflicts with Existing Agreements or Federal Law

   These Minimum Standards are not retroactive. They do not affect the current term of any written agreement properly executed prior to the date of adoption and approval of these Minimum Standards. Upon expiration of an existing agreement, or if the Operator desires to materially increase or expand its activities, the operator shall then comply with the provisions of these Minimum Standards. A requirement under these Minimum Standards or an agreement that an Operator comply with applicable local or state law does not create an opportunity or right in the Sponsor or airport to enact or enforce any local ordinance which is preempted under federal law. This includes any attempt to regulate airspace or the conduct of Flight Operations.

   　

5. General Requirements

The following general requirements shall apply to all Commercial Aeronautical Activities at the airport. An operator engaging in a Commercial Aeronautical Activity or activities at the airport must comply with the general requirements of this section.

1. Agreement: No entity shall conduct a Commercial Aeronautical Activity unless a valid agreement authorizing such activity has been entered into by the entity and the Airport Sponsor. The agreement will have a maximum initial term of 20 years. The Sponsor may provide optional extensions of the agreement up to 5 years, under agreed-upon terms and conditions.

   The agreement will present the terms and conditions under which the activity will be conducted at the airport, including but not limited to: term of the agreement; rentals; fees; charges; and the rights and obligations of the respective parties.

2. Fees and Charges: The Operator shall pay the fees and charges negotiated with the Sponsor for the applicable Aeronautical Activities. Information relative to fees and charges applicable to the Aeronautical Activity described will be made available to the prospective Operator by the Airport Manager.

3. Leased Premises: [Note: Under the terms and conditions applied to Specialized Aviation Service Operations (SASO), a ground rental lease may not be required. For all others, the following leased premise guidelines apply.]

   The Operator shall lease, sublease, or construct sufficient ground space, facilities, and accommodations for the proposed Aeronautical Activity. When more than one activity is proposed or when the Operator will be conducting activities from an FBO leasehold as an approved sublessee (with Airport Managers approval), the minimum lease terms may vary depending on the nature of each activity.

   The Operator must provide a full description and conceptual drawing [if required] of the location of the ground space, facilities, and accommodations to be utilized for the Operator’s proposed Aeronautical Activity. The operator must also provide a schedule of development and identify the location of aircraft parking and staging areas, general aviation customer lounges, vehicle parking, and restrooms.

   The ground space shall include an appropriate aircraft parking apron with tiedown and/or hangar facilities sufficient to accommodate the current aeronautical activity and the types of general aviation aircraft frequenting the airport. Ground space shall also accommodate paved roadways and vehicle parking facilities which do not enter the area of operation (AOA).

   The facilities and floor space allotments shall include office and customer lounge facilities which must be properly heated, ventilated, cooled, and lighted. General aviation user accommodations shall include telephones for customer use, restrooms, and sufficient on-site customer vehicle parking spaces.

   Access for "Through the Fence" Commercial Aeronautical Activities will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

6. Hours of Operation: Operators providing fueling, customer services, and ancillary services shall be available to the public a predetermined number of hours per day, seven days per week.

1. Restrictions on Self-Service

   In accordance with FAA policy, the Operator may not exercise any right or privilege that would have the effect of preventing the operator of any aircraft utilizing the airport from performing services on his or her own aircraft with his or her own employees and equipment. Aircraft owners are entitled to use the landing area of the airport and may tie-down, adjust, repair, refuel, clean, and otherwise service their own aircraft, provided the service is performed by the aircraft owner. Any unreasonable restrictions imposed on owners or operators of aircraft by airport commercial Operators will be construed as a violation of airport policy.

2. Airport Manager

1. The Airport Manager and/or the Sponsor shall at all times have authority to take such reasonable action as may be necessary to enforce these regulations and to efficiently manage the airport and its operations. In any contingencies not specifically covered by these rules and regulations the Airport Manager and/or the Sponsor shall be authorized to make such reasonable rules, orders and decisions as may be necessary and proper.

No commercial operation of any kind or type shall be conducted on the airport unless specifically authorized by the Sponsor.

   2. A flying club is recognized as a plan for the joint ownership of aircraft and the fair distribution of the cost of maintaining and operating such aircraft. Such operation is not considered to be commercial in nature when so operated. Neither is flight instruction by club members for other club members considered to be commercial in nature so long as there is no profit or for-hire motive involved in the operation. In all cases the Sponsor will determine if the operation of a flying club or other such organization is commercial. If determined to be commercial, the club shall conform to the requirements set forth herein for commercial Fixed Base Operators. The use of the Airport or any of its facilities in any manner shall create an obligation on the part of the user thereof to obey all the regulations herein provided and adopted by the Sponsor or hereafter provided and adopted by the Sponsor. The user shall condition the privilege of using the Airport and its facilities on the assumption of full responsibility and risk thereof. He shall release and hold harmless and indemnify the Sponsor (including the Authority and the Brantley County Commission), its officers and employees from any liability or loss resulting from such use, as well as claims of third parties. The privilege of using the Airport shall be upon the further condition that any person(s), corporations, copartnership or others desiring to use the same, shall furnish a policy of indemnity against personal injury and property damage in a reasonable sum as the Sponsor shall require.

   3. Any person violating any of the Airport rules and regulations may be punished as provided by law or ordinance or at the discretion of the Sponsor may be deprived of the use of the Airport facilities for such period of time as may be necessary to be effective.

The actual contract agreement between an FBO and the airport Sponsor shall spell out the required services of each FBO and the square footage; number of personnel, etc. which must be provided by that FBO.

   9. An FBO does not have the right to perform any service or business on the Airport unless such service or business is included in the current lease agreement with the Sponsor.
