Frequently Asked Questions & Answers On FAA Policy on Use of Hangars at Obligated Airports

An Airport sponsor who accepts Federal airport grants is bound by the conditions and assurances in the associated grant agreements. These obligations include grant assurances related to use of hangars and other designated aeronautical facilities on the airport for exclusively aeronautical purposes. On June 9, 2016, FAA issued a notice of final policy regarding the storage of non-aeronautical items in airport facilities designated for aeronautical use. In conjunction with that notice of policy, FAA is posting a series of frequently asked Questions and Answers (Q&As) to the FAA Airport Compliance website. These Q&As, which are intended to assist airport sponsors and users, will be periodically updated and may be included in the next update to FAA Order 5190.6B, Airport Compliance Handbook.
