Since there is <br /> no requirement that private airports be developed to meet FAA <br /> standards, we would not want our comments to have an adverse affect <br /> on the develppmeni of a private airport. The FAA standards are, of <br /> , coLse, available for reference if a private developer desires to <br /> ' ".""e4W7s -1-4e his facility to meet appropriate standards. The only <br /> requirement FM has regarding privately owned airports is that a <br /> Notice of Proposed Construction be filed with the FAA. This has <br /> been accomplished1by the proponent. The result of the airspace <br /> determination is Shown on the enclosed letter of December 11, 1980. <br /> The recently planned 1400-foot extension for a total of 5000 feet <br /> (II ] received a simila4 airport determination. <br /> The use of FAA deslign standards is required when the airport is <br /> being constructed faith federal aid. Similarly, if an airport is <br /> constructed with private funds and future plans include converting it <br /> to a publicly-aaned facility, with the intent of obtaining future <br /> federal aid, it would be desirable to plan and construct it in <br /> ; <br /> ; accordance with FAA standards. If a proponent should ask our <br /> recommendations for development of a privately owned airport, we <br /> would recommend that the FAA standards be utilized. <br /> Our comments on the plan are as follows: <br /> 1 <br /> 1. We agree with comets made by Mr. Bruce Mat-thews of the State <br /> of North Carolina in his letter of January 26, 1982. We would <br /> recommend that curralt standards for runway separation, etc. , be <br /> applied if possibld. <br /> 2. The report indicates FAA approved of the development, however, <br /> this only relates to airspace affects as he <br /> in enclosed letter, <br /> I <br />
