The Corona Municipal Airport is situated on Federal land in a flood basin that is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, our landlords. Periodically, the landlord inspects the premises, to include the inside of hangars, to insure compliance with Federal and State regulations. Your cooperation with the following guidelines will help the Corona Municipal Airport be in compliance.
(A) Storage in hangars of aircraft parts is allowed only if related to on-site aircraft repairs, operations, or on-site aircraft restoration. The storage of household items, Christmas decorations, motor vehicles, ATV’s, boats, motorcycles, antique vehicles, race vehicles, more bicycles, scooters, or golf carts then necessary to provide airport ground transportation, off-site business files, equipment, supplies, furniture, and other non-aviation related storage is not acceptable use of Federal lands.
(B) All lofts and above ground storage decks to be built in and/or secured to hangars must be permitted through the city Building Department. Storage racks should be secured in case of an earthquake.
(C) Each hangar will have a minimum of one approved fire extinguisher with a current inspection or purchase date.
(D) Pesticides should not be stored in the hangars without an approved pesticide control plan. This includes, but is not limited to, Round Up, Ortho, Triox, Vegetation Killer, Malathion, Speciracide, and the like. Small household spray cans are permitted.
(E) Total incidental storage of flammable and combustible liquids (hazardous materials) must be less than 25 gallons. Greater than 25 gallons total requires that all be stored in a 2-hour fire rated storage unit, or in the case of a 55-gallon drum, it must have secondary containment.
(F) All storage containers must be labeled as to the contents. This includes cans, buckets, jars, barrels, bottles, and the like. Each should have a lid. Hazardous chemicals (cleaners, solvents and the like) that are transferred to smaller containers must also have labels on the smaller containers identifying the hazardous chemical and the appropriate hazard warnings. Batteries should be in/on some type of metal/rubber/plastic container that would contain battery acid in the event of a leak.
(G) Gasoline (small amounts only) will only be stored in approved red gasoline containers. Note: This gasoline would count towards your 25 gallon total limit explained in division (E) above.
(H) Oily rags must be stored in approved covered containers labeled. Oily rags cannot be stored in plastic containers or boxes.
(I) Compressed gas cylinders (oxygen, nitrogen, acetylene, propane and the like) must be labeled and stored upright, secured about the midpoint. Flammable compressed gas cylinders must be kept at least 20 feet from flammable liquids, highly combustible materials, and oxidizers.
(J) Tools and equipment used in aircraft maintenance and repair must have appropriate safety guards and shields.
(K) Signs, pictures, posters, calendars, and the like should not be inappropriate.
(L) Electrical wiring must be in accordance with the building code.
(M) Vehicles parked at the airport must have a current license plate/registration. Vehicles are not allowed to be parked for extended durations.
(N) Recreational vehicles and motor homes can only be parked at the airport for short periods. Spending the night in RV’s while parked at the airport is prohibited by the city’s lease with landlord. The only exception to this rule is for security, with prior arrangements approved by the Airport Manager.
(O) Hangars will be inspected annually by your leaseholder and the city. Questions about compliance should be directed to your leaseholder.
