Iowa Admin. Code r. 761-720.3 - Public-use airport

Airport registration requirements apply to public-use airports.

(1) Registration. An airport is to apply to the department when seeking a public-use airport certificate of registration. If following an inspection, the airport meets minimum safety standards, the department will issue the airport a public-use airport certificate of registration.

(2) Registration renewal. Each public-use airport certificate of registration renews automatically each year unless the certificate is revoked. When an airport is to be inspected by the department, the airport will be provided with an airport registration application and will need to apply for registration renewal.

(3) Airport inspection. Each registered public-use airport is subject to inspection by the department at any reasonable time, but the airport will be inspected no less than every three years. If the inspection by the department reveals an unsafe condition or a failure to meet the minimum safety standards, the department will record that fact and notify the airport in writing with necessary corrective actions. Failure to implement corrective actions may result in airport registration revocation or denial. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspection of an airport certified under 14 CFR Part 139 may be accepted in lieu of an inspection by the department.

(4) Posting. The airport certificate of registration is to be posted in a prominent place available to the public at the airport. If there are no buildings at the airport, the certificate is to be displayed at the office of the airport manager or caretaker. If a certificate of registration is revoked by the department, it must be removed from public view and destroyed.
