Existing airport community homeowners might enjoy continued “through the fence” access to their associated runways, but things may be very different for similar communities in the future, according to AOPA. In 2009, the FAA sought to eliminate through the fence access to airport taxiways and runways for aircraft based on adjacent private property. That general layout is popular at many airport community neighborhoods. AOPA says the FAA is now leaning toward a more considered approach for those airports that currently include, or were largely built around, a through the fence concept. At those airports, AOPA says the FAA may avoid broad-stroke regulation and apply a by-case approach. But looking forward, there’s still a chance that aiports seeking to provide those access privileges in the future may simply be out of luck.
