Florida Administrative Code › 14 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › 14 - Departmental › Chapter 14-60 - AIRPORT LICENSING, REGISTRATION, AND AIRSPACE PROTECTION › Section 14-60.006 - Airport Licenses and Registrations

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Licensing
				and Registration Requirement. Except for the exemptions provided in Rule
				14-60.003, F.A.C., above, or in
				the event of an in-flight emergency, the owner or lessee of any airport in the
				state of Florida shall have either an airport license or airport registration
				prior to the operation of aircraft at the site. Application for a license or
				registration shall be made in a format and manner prescribed by the Department.
				There are no monetary fees required for airport licensing or registration
				services.
(a) Public Airport. Public airports
				shall be licensed after the site approval is granted by the Department,
				including completion of the public announcement and physical airport inspection
				process, if the Department finds the facility to be in compliance with all
				requirements for the license. The license shall be subject to any conditions
				that are necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare. Such
				conditions shall include the requirement to remove natural growth obstructions,
				relocate aircraft parking sites beyond runway protective boundaries, or provide
				aircraft warning lights on structures in close proximity to the runway or
				potential ground hazards.
(b)
				Private Airport. Private airports shall be registered on the Private Airport
				Registration and Site Approval Website (
http://www.florida-aviationdatabase.com
)
				after the site approval is granted by the Department, including completion of
				the public announcement process, if the facility is in compliance with all
				requirements for registration, including self-certification by the registrant
				of operational and configuration data necessary to ensure compliance with
				Chapter 330, F.S., and this rule chapter.
1.
				Private airport owners who have previously received airport site approval
				through that process will subsequently use their "User ID" and "Password" to
				access the private airport registration screen available online.
2. The private airport registration screen
				includes information regarding the private airport: facility name, type of
				facility, dates related to the site approval process, dates related to the
				registration process (including expiration date); contact name, address, phone
				and fax numbers, and e-mail address; facility and runway data.
3. The user certifies the accuracy of the
				information and data entered on the screen and submits the information to the
				Department.
4. Private airport
				owners are encouraged to provide updates of airport and contact information at
				any time it occurs to ensure the Department has accurate and current
				information. Any update automatically renews the airport's registration for a
				two-year period from the date of update and that information will be reflected
				on the website, including a new expiration date.
5. Information regarding the facility's
				location with respect to county, latitude, longitude, and field elevation can
				only be updated directly by the Department in order to ensure compatibility of
				critical data with the FAA's airport database. Private airport owners should
				contact the Department to make any changes in this facility
				data.
(c) Temporary
				Airport. Temporary public or private airports shall be initially licensed or
				registered, respectively, after the site approval is granted by the Department,
				if the Department finds that the airport will not endanger the public health,
				safety, or welfare and the airport meets the temporary airport requirements
				established by the Department.
