FAA Gets an Earful about New Hangar-use Policy
Agency received more than 1,000 comments about its proposed policy regarding the non-aeronautical use of airport hangars.

The FAA has received more than 2,000 comments about its proposed policy regarding the non-aeronautical use of airport hangars. In response to the flood of comments and extension requests from the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and others, the FAA extended until October 6 the comment period for the proposal, which states that hangars are to be used only for storage or maintenance of aircraft. Some of the comments chastised the agency for its misdirection or micro-management, while others congratulated the FAA for challenging situations they have encountered at their own airports.
