2016 WLIA Annual Conference

How do I know what is airport property? Which areas of the airport are obligated to aeronautical use only? Which areas can be used for non-aeronautical purposes? Can the airport sell land? What type of survey is required for this airport project? Should the airport use zoning or purchase air rights?
Airport owners have unique obligations to property. Airport development projects and ongoing airport property management must comply with these federal and state obligations. Many WLIA members are key partners in the management of their local airport ? whether you realize it or not! This session provides background on airport property obligations, types of property interests held by airports, FAA requirements for ?good title? and accurate mapping, local responsibilities to defend airport property interests, and best practices for managing airport property. Examples of local regulatory actions impacting airports will be discussed, including ownership representation, surveys, easement enforcement, airport leases, and road relocation. Help your local airport assure a proper 'landing!?
