Alaska Administrative Code › Title 17 - Transportation and Public Facilities › Chapter 42 - Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and Fairbanks International Airport › Article 5 - Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport Tiedown Permits › 17 AAC 42.520 - Terms and conditions

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) The terms and conditions set out in this
				section apply to and are incorporated into all tiedown permits issued under
				17 AAC 42.500 -
				17 AAC 42.599.
(b) The initial term of a float or wheel
				permit is five years. The term for each subsequent five-year permit that the
				manager issues to the same permittee for the same space or for another space to
				which the permittee is reassigned begins at the expiration of the preceding
				permit. An ice permit is issued for a single season according to dates set
				annualIy by the airport manager.
(c) A permittee shall pay the fee established
				for the applicable category of tiedown permit under
				17 AAC 42.125.
(d) A permittee may not transfer or sublet a
				permit or, except as provided under (
l
) of this section, allow
				a person who is not listed as a permittee or co-owner pilot on the permit to
				fly to or from the permitted space or allow any person to park an aircraft not
				listed on the permit in the permittee's space.
(e) A permittee may use a tiedown space to
				park an airworthy aircraft listed on the permit, subject to the applicable
				requirements and limitations set out in
				17 AAC 42.525 and airport
				operational orders.
(f) An
				individual who accepts a permit for a tiedown space accepts the space on an "as
				is" basis. A permittee shall keep the space in a clean, neat, and presentable
				condition. A permittee shall provide adequate aircraft and vehicle parking on
				the space to avoid any interference with or obstruction of public roads and
				taxiways and other spaces and premises.
(g) Improvements are authorized only on float
				spaces. A permittee must obtain an airport building permit under
				17 AAC 42.280 before performing
				any construction on a float space. A building or other structure placed on a
				float space must be portable, must be located to allow for adequate aircraft
				and vehicle parking on the space, and must not interfere with operations on an
				adjacent space or aircraft movement area. To anchor an aircraft on a tiedown
				space, a permittee may use only screw-in, duckbill, or cable tiedown equipment
				or another method the airport manager specifically approves for that
				purpose.
(h) An aircraft or vehicle
				that is parked on a tiedown space in violation of this section,
				17 AAC 42.525, or any other
				applicable provision of this chapter is subject to impoundment by the airport
				manager under
				17 AAC 42.115.
(i) The department is not obligated to
				perform snow or ice removal in a tiedown space.
(j) A permittee must begin parking an
				airworthy aircraft that is listed on the permit on the designated space within
				90 days after the permit is issued, unless the space is a float space. On a
				float space, a permittee must begin parking an airworthy float-equipped
				aircraft that is listed on the permit on the designated space within 90 days
				after the permit is issued or 30 days after the Lake Hood Seaplane Base is
				first unfrozen and open for use, whichever is later.
(k) If an aircraft listed on the permit
				ceases to be airworthy or if the permittee disposes of or ceases to hold the
				permittee's required minimum interest in an aircraft listed on the permit and
				if no other aircraft is listed on the permit that satisfies the requirements of
				17 AAC 42.510(a) (3) and (p) of this section, as applicable, the
				permittee must restore the aircraft to an airworthy condition or obtain at
				least the required minimum interest in a replacement aircraft equipped as
				required by (p) of this section, if applicable, to list on the permit and to
				operate from the tiedown space. The permittee must achieve the restoration or
				replacement required under this subsection within 270 days after the date that
				the aircraft first ceased to be airworthy or the date the permittee disposed of
				ceased to hold the permittee's required minimum interest in the aircraft,
				whichever date is earlier. However, a restored or replacement aircraft under
				this subsection need not be equipped as required under (p) of this section, if
				applicable, until the Lake Hood Seaplane Base is unfrozen and open for
				use.
(l) Because of the shortage of
				transient aircraft parking spaces, a permittee whose space will be vacant for
				an extended period of time is encouraged, but not required, to make the
				permittee's space available to the airport manager for use as part of the Lake
				Hood transient parking pool. When a permittee makes a tiedown space available
				to the manager for transient parking under this subsection, the department will
				apply any transient parking revenue from use of the space to reduce the fees
				that the permittee would otherwise pay for that space.
(m) If a permittee's medical certificate or,
				for FAA certificated light-sport aircraft, the permittee's driver's license
				issued by this or another state, expires during the term of the permit, the
				permittee must obtain a current replacement and provide a copy to the airport
				manager not later than 60 days after the date of expiration.
(n) If a permittee's pilot certificate or
				medical certificate or, for FAA certificated light-sport aircraft, the
				permittee's driver's license issued by this or another state, is revoked or
				suspended for any reason during the term of the permit, the permittee must
				obtain a replacement and provide a copy to the airport manager not later than
				120 days after the date of revocation or suspension.
(o) Each permittee on a permit must fly the
				permittee's aircraft listed on the permit at least once from the permit space
				in each of any three months during each calendar year, using the tiedown space
				as the primary base of operations from which to fly. Each permittee must also
				fly at least one third of the listed aircraft's total flights to and from the
				space. Flights by co-owner pilots may not constitute more than two thirds of
				the aircraft's total flights to and from the space. For a float permit, only a
				flight in the listed aircraft flown from the lake when the aircraft is
				float-equipped is considered toward satisfaction of the requirements of this
				subsection.
(p) An aircraft for
				which a float permit is issued must be float-equipped not less than 90 days
				each year during the period from May 1 through September 30. If a float space
				includes a land area large enough to accommodate a second float aircraft or a
				wheel-equipped aircraft without interfering with or obstructing an adjacent
				road, taxiway, space, or premises and the airport manager approves, a permittee
				may park a second aircraft on the float space so long as the permittee, alone
				or jointly with another permittee on the same permit, holds a 100 percent
				ownership or leasehold interest in both aircraft. A permittee who is allowed by
				the manager to park a second aircraft on a float space shall pay any additional
				fee established under
				17 AAC 42.125.
(q) The airport manager shall conduct
				periodic inspections of tiedown spaces and permit files to monitor compliance
				with the requirements of
				17 AAC 42.500 -
				17 AAC 42.599 and specifically to
				confirm
(1) that a properly equipped,
				airworthy aircraft listed on the permit is parked on the space within or during
				the applicable periods required under
				17 AAC 42.500 -
				17 AAC 42.599; and
(2) that each permittee on the permit
(A) owns or leases at least a one-third
				interest in the appropriate gear type aircraft parked on the space as required
				under 17 AAC 42.510(a)
				and, as applicable, (p) of this section;
(B) annually satisfies the aircraft flight
				requirements of (o) of this section;
(C) holds a pilot certificate as required
				under 17 AAC 42.510(a)
				and, as applicable, (c); and
(D)
				has a current FAA medical certificate or a current driver's license as required
				under 17 AAC 42.510(a).
