Can the airport ban bicycles?

And if you take it one step further, since the aircraft isn't being flown
IFR, the airspeed indicator can be a little lightweight plumb bob on the end
of a string held out into the slipstream with a 3x5 recipe card behind it
calibrated in furlongs per fortnight.

Altimeter? Balloon with a calibrated piece of paper behind it. THe bigger
the balloon, the higher you are.

Install an altimiter and and airspeed indicator, put a 3" N number on
it and register it as an airplane. You don't need an inspection.

I have it on good authority that there's a carpet and a broom out
there with registrations. I don't know if anyone's gotten an
airworthyness certificate for one yet. Remember - an airplane doesn't
have to be able to fly to get a cert.

Jay, have your A&P place a green tag on the bicycle, indicating it needs
repair, or a red tag, indicating it is unable to be made airworthy. Use
this
tag as evidence that it is, in fact, an airplane part, in compliance with
the regulations.

Don't forget an "EXPERIMENTAL" sticker on the handle bars.

Present the recalcitrant airport commissioner with a broom (with
N-number) as a token of appreciation. l)

No, they specifically okay that practice in the lease. But bikes,
cars, motorcycles, and anything "non-aeronautical" is banned
(according to their reading of the rules) at all other times -- even
if there is ample room around the aircraft.

In my opinion, this is a gross mis-reading of the FARs, which were
put in place to make sure that airport hangars were not used as cheap
storage units for boats and other non-aircraft.

If they own the land, they can impose lots of additional restrictions
well above and beyond anything in the FARs.


You are an idiot

Hey butthead, the FAR's do not govern what can be kept in a hangar.
What do you keep in your hangar, an imaginary bicycle?

That's not a very nice way to talk to Jay.
