A. Landing And Takeoff Of Helicopters: No helicopter landing or taking off in the airpark shall obstruct the taxilane safety area at any location where the exhaust or rotor downwash may cause injury to persons or do damage to property or spread debris on an airpark taxilane safety area, aircraft parking and/or staging area.
B. Qualifications To Operate Aircraft: No person other than airpark aviation operators and visitors operating aircraft in compliance with these regulations shall operate any aircraft upon an airpark taxilane safety area, and/or conduct airport/airpark access.
C. Disabled Aircraft: Airpark aviation operators and pilots shall be responsible for the prompt removal of disabled aircraft and parts thereof from an airpark taxilane safety area, unless required or directed by the city or the FAA to delay such action pending an investigation of an accident. In the event of failure to promptly remove such disabled aircraft, the city may cause the aircraft to be removed and impounded and bill the owners thereof for all charges incurred in the removal of same. The city shall not be responsible for damage to disabled aircraft removed by the owner, the pilot, the city or other persons.

E. Exhaust And Propeller Blast: No aircraft engine shall be started or aircraft taxied in an airpark taxilane safety area or at any location where the exhaust or propeller blast may cause injury to persons or do damage to property or spread debris on an airpark taxilane safety area, aircraft parking and/or staging area.

If it is impossible to taxi aircraft in compliance with this section, then the engine shall be shut off and the aircraft towed to a new location.
G. Advisory Prior To Taxiing: Prior to aircraft taxiing in an airpark taxilane safety area, during hours when the airport traffic control tower is in operation, aircraft operators shall utilize ground control frequency, 121.7 MHz, to broadcast to the airport traffic control tower their intentions to access the airport. Prior to aircraft taxiing in an airpark taxilane safety area, during hours when the airport traffic control tower is not in operation, aircraft operators shall utilize the common air traffic advisory frequency, 122.95 MHz (UNICOM).
H. Accident Reports: Any person involved in an aircraft accident occurring in an airpark taxilane safety area shall make a full written report thereof to the airport manager as soon after the accident as possible but in no event later than the time required for reporting the accident to the FAA or to any other governmental agency, or within forty eight (48) hours of the accident, whichever is sooner.

1. Only airpark facilities with aircraft staging area located outside of the taxilane safety area may receive visiting aircraft, and the visiting aircraft must be parked at that location.
2. Visiting aircraft may only be fueled upon the airpark by an authorized FBO.
3. Visiting aircraft may not remain overnight in the airpark more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, without approval by the city.
4. If the visitor is unfamiliar with the access route to the airpark destination, the airpark aviation operator shall provide an escort to the airpark destination.
5. There is compliance by the visiting aircraft and the airpark aviation operator with these regulations.
J. Based Aircraft Storage: Airpark based aircraft shall only be parked at their based location. The number of aircraft which may be based at an airpark hangar/shade shall not exceed the number of aircraft that can fit into the hangar/shade at any one time if all based aircraft were present, and in addition shall be limited by the following:
1. The number of aircraft permitted to be based shall be limited by the number of aircraft "slots" available at the hangar location;
2. The number of "slots" shall be calculated by the amount of enclosed hangar floor area at the hangar storage location, with each one thousand (1,000) square feet of enclosed hangar floor area being equivalent to one slot;
3. A slot shall be considered to be occupied by a based aircraft for a minimum of six (6) months or as long as the aircraft is based at the location if in excess of six (6) months;
4. Replacement aircraft may be substituted for a slot aircraft only if the slot aircraft's hangar or operating lease terminates (but in no event prior to 30 days from the commencement of said lease), or the slot aircraft is sold and the replacement aircraft is based at the airpark hangar/shade location. In such case, a new six (6) month time period for the slot begins with the replacement aircraft;
5. Except as provided in subsection J4 of this section, replacement aircraft shall not be substituted for aircraft no longer based in the hangar/shade location.
