Loophole in the AIP grants????
Thanx to Cal Pilot website for article on Oceanside Airport.
Very interesting take on FAA grants, from Oceanside Pub Works Director. Bears some investigating.... From the article: " Public Works Director Peter Weiss sees a potential loophole in that policy. Weiss said the federal agency can't force the city to keep operating an airport that loses $50,000 to $60,000 a year. " |

"That's not a knife... brandishes 12" Bowie Now THAT'S a knife..." ;-) That was a good line from the first one. Filmed right under 1 Centre Street, in downtown Manhattan. I used to work in the building above.... |

Yes indeedy: There are many conditions that airport sponsors are required
to satisfy to continue receiving the grants. http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraff...assurances.pdf Push back against the FAA/airport cabal, or pressuring the airport to spend $$$ in the event grant conditions are not being met, can be a tool in some cases. |

Now "Skylune" is starting to sound like Bill MulCahy. "FAA/airport cabal", indeed! MulCahy has his own style, but I agree with Bill that the FAA/airport alliance is an unholy cabal. A large part of the FAA bureaucracy exists to approve and administer grants, which requires the employment of numerous personnel. Like other bureaucracies, it seeks to protect and enlarge itself, with no consideration to anything outside of its own mission: to expand aviation. It is at odds with other bureaucracies, most notably the new OHS. EPA has been largely de-fanged, but there are some tensions there too. And there are intergovernmental tensions, often between FAA and localities victimized by this nefarious agency. |
