Additionally, depending on the need of <br />the United States Government, the County may restrict general aviation operations as <br />needed, for the safety of persons and aircraft. <br /> <br />7. GENERAL AERONAUTICAL OPERATIONS <br /> Airport & Runway Closures <br />The Airport Director and/or designee may close the Airport, or its runways or taxiways, <br />at any time in the event of an emergency, or to protect the safety of its users. Examples <br />of such closures include, but are not limited to: <br />• Poor runway or taxiway conditions due to snow and ice. <br />• Pavement damage. <br />• Debris on pavement surfaces. <br />• Disabled aircraft or aircraft debris. <br />• Unsafe conditions. <br />• Airfield inspections. <br />• Airport maintenance including, but not limited to, mowing, weed control, <br />painting, light and sign maintenance, pavement maintenance, and snow <br />removal. <br />The Airport Director and/or designee will notify its users through Notice to Air Missions <br />System (NOTAMs) for any short-term immediate closures. For long-term closures due <br />to planned construction or maintenance activities, the Airport Director will notify its <br />users and allow enough time for aircraft to be temporarily relocated if needed. The <br />County understands that these closures impact its operators and users; however, they <br />are necessary at times to maintain the Airport. <br />"Notice to Air Missions" (NOTAMS) will be published to alert users in accordance with <br />Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) of any temporary or short-term changes affecting <br />air/general operations. The Airport Director and/or designee will send additional <br />notifications to its users, as available or necessary alerting them of the NOTAMs. However, <br />it is the responsibility of the Airport users to check the NOTAMs daily and before operating <br />an aircraft at the Airport. <br />The County is not responsible for business closures (either temporary or permanent), or <br />for lost revenues due to Airport or runway closures. <br /> Aircraft Accidents & Incidents <br />Any accidents or incidents occurring on Airport property, shall be reported immediately <br />to the Airport Director. The Airport Director has responsibility for inspecting the Airport <br />for damages or debris that may impact other aircraft.
