The FAA has issued a proposed final policy rule dealing with residential “through-the-fence” agreements for aircraft owners who live next to an airport and bring their airplanes from “hangar homes” onto airport property.
The FAA had sought to eliminate such access on security and safety grounds, but the agency agreed to revisit the policy after objections from several aviation interest groups. An interim agreement published last year requires airports that have through-the-fence agreements with aircraft owners to develop plans outlining how they will comply with federal security, safety, and sustainability guidelines.
