Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 19 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Subtitle 2 - AIRPORTS DIVISION › Chapter 17.1 - SMALL PLANE HANGAR UNITS AND TIE-DOWN SPACES AT PUBLIC AIRPORTS › Section 19-17.1-3 - Application for Space Permit

Current through June, 2024
(a) Any person
				desiring a small plane hangar, tie-down space, or any other small aircraft
				space at a public airport shall submit a written application in person or by
				mail together with a filing fee of $15 for each type of aircraft space desired
				(i.e., hangar building, T-hangar, hangar lot, tie-down, helicopter pad) to the
				district airport manager of the appropriate airport. The application may
				contain a request for more than one type of aircraft space but the $15 filing
				fee for each requested space must also be tendered. The application shall
				contain the name, mailing address, and telephone number(s) and signature of the
				applicant, as well at the type, model, and Federal Aviation Administration
				registration number of the aircraft if the applicant has possession and
				ownership of an aircraft. If the applicant does not have an aircraft, the
				applicant shall indicate the type, model or make of the aircraft applicant is
				considering obtaining. The applicant is responsible for keeping all information
				(i.e., telephone number, mailing address, etc.) on the application current at
				all times.
(b) The department will
				date stamp each completed application conforming with subsection (a) when it is
				received. The filing date of the completed application shall establish the
				applicant's position on the respective waiting list(s) which shall be
				established and maintained for each public airport as needed. Each district
				airport shall maintain and make available to interested parties the waiting
				list showing the information required by this subsection and subsection (a) of
				this section. An application will expire one year after its filing date and
				will be voided and applicant name deleted from the waiting list after a 30-day
				grace period from date of expiration. An application may be continued for
				another year, without payment of $15 filing fee provided the airport manager
				maintaining the application receives a written request prior to its expiration.
				The request for continuation shall indicate which type of aircraft space is
				being continued under the application.
(c) When a vacancy of a small aircraft space
				occurs, the airport district manager shall first notify the applicant with the
				earliest filing date of application for that type of space by certified mail at
				the address provided on the application. If the certified mail is returned
				unclaimed or not deliverable, the airport district manager shall delete the
				applicant's name from the waiting list, the applicant's application for that
				space will be voided, and the available space offered to the next eligible
				applicant. An applicant whose name has been deleted from the waiting list
				pursuant to this subsection may apply and be placed at the bottom of the
				waiting list.
(d) Upon receiving
				notice, the applicant must respond in writing within fourteen (14) calendar
				days of receipt of the certified letter of his or her intention to accept or
				decline the space, if offered. If applicant does not respond within fourteen
				days or declines the offer, the airport district manager shall contact the next
				eligible applicant as prescribed in subsection (c) of this section, the
				applicant shall be deleted from the waiting list. If an applicant who is
				deleted from the waiting list submits a new application, applicant will be
				placed on the bottom of the wait list. Filing fee of $15 will be assessed for
				each new application.
(e) If the
				applicant accepts the available space, the applicant must:
(1) meet all of the prerequisites to be
				issued a lease or permit by the State in accordance with chapters
				171 and
				261,
				HRS, and the Department's rules, and
(2) present evidence that the applicant is
				the registrant of a certificated airworthy aircraft, and
(3) receive the airport manager's approval
				that the aircraft is appropriate for storage in the available space within
				fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of the applicant's acceptance.
				However, if the applicant's aircraft is under repair, in shipment, or under
				construction at that time, then the Director can grant a conditional waiver to
				allow the processing of a permit with the requirement that the applicant must
				have the aircraft certificated and airworthy within six (6) months of the
				effective date. If the applicant has fulfilled all of the above requirements,
				but due to the size, features or operational characteristics of the aircraft,
				the aircraft may be inappropriate for the available space, the applicant may
				decline the offer and still remain on the top of the waiting list for the next
				vacancy of the appropriate size or the Director can assign the applicant to
				another space pursuant to Section 19-17.1-6. An applicant that does not meet or
				satisfy the requirements set by this subsection will be deemed ineligible for
				the space and the applicant's name will be deleted from the waiting list, the
				applicant's application for that space will be voided and the space shall be
				offered to the next eligible applicant.
