aerial photography and other similar activities. The City
further recognizes that these individuals do not wish to offer
a full line of services most usually offered by the full
service Fixed Base Operator. These individuals will be

hangar, shop and/or office facilities may be permitted in

requiring the Fixed Base Operators to provide certain services. It
is also the intention of the Airport Manager that all leases be
"net" leases. That is, that total costs for amortizing the
investment and maintenance and administrative costs be borne by the
operator. Hangars may be constructed by operators provided they
meet the minimum requirements established by the City of
Fayetteville and title is to be vested in the City upon completion,
subject to the rights of the mortgagor.

providing the public facilities thereon, certain charges are made.

storage made by operators shall be determined by the

liability insurance shall be in amounts not less than $100,000
per person bodily injury and $300,000 per accident property
damage. Such Hangar Keeper or general liability insurance
shall be of sufficient amount to cover the largest aircraft

hangars that would be constructed by persons other than the Fixed

commercial activities are conducted on the premises and the

The entire area leased shall be developed either by paving,
structures, auto parking, or landscaping.

developed by the Airport as a part of a government grant.
SECTION 11: PRINTED
POLICY
It is the intent of the Airport to serve the public in the most
cost effective, equitable, efficient, and safest manner possible.
In order to be fair to persons who pay for advertising space in the
terminal, and since sufficient space is available for rental to the
public, it has been deemed appropriate to authorize advertising
only in this space. This policy insures fairness to all
advertisers by assessing fees for the space available, does away
with the required maintenance by staff of picking up discarded and
blown materials left on site, and best utilizes the very limited
space needed for seating of airport users.
Persons who wish to distribute material of a religious nature must
be afforded that opportunity in accordance with the First
Amendment. The following one page application and guidelines are
to be utilized by persons who wish to distribute printed material
on site. This material will only be distribute by the person so
indicated in the applications and only in approved areas, at times
so approved by the Airport Manager.
The application for permission to distribute printed material is on
the following page.
Should
you have any questions
regarding
the policy, contact the

Manager's Office.
