Section 17.42.030. Aircraft rules.

	(a)  A person may not, on or from an airport, navigate, land, fly, service, maintain, or repair an aircraft or conduct any aircraft operation, except in conformity with applicable FAA regulations, this chapter, and other applicable law.  
	(b)  Except in an emergency, when safety dictates, or upon prior approval of the airport manager, aircraft operation on or from an airport is confined to designated runways, water lanes, helipads, taxiways, taxi lanes, aprons, and aircraft parking areas. The airport manager shall by order regulate, control, and direct the availability of a runway, water lane, helipad, taxiway, taxi lane, apron, and aircraft parking area on an airport. The airport manager shall limit the use, time, type, weight, dimensions, and number of aircraft allowed to use an aircraft parking area when the manager determines that the limitation is justified by the design, safety, maintenance, or operation of the parking area or the airport. The airport manager may segregate aircraft operations on an airport according to aircraft use, size, type, or weight. The manager shall give notice of the manager's orders, limitations, and aircraft operation segregation decisions under this subsection by  
		(1) posting in the affected areas of the airport; or  
		(2) issuing a Notice to Airmen under FAA Order 7930.2G as described in FAA Advisory Circular No. 150/5200-28B.  
	(c)  A person who operates an aircraft at an airport shall conduct aircraft operations in conformity with applicable state and federal law, including applicable provisions relating to aircraft noise, and, to the extent possible consistent with safety considerations, in conformity with operational orders the airport manager issues under state or federal law, including orders regarding noise compatibility or preferential runway use.  
	(d)  A person who brings onto or keeps an aircraft on an airport does so at the person's own risk with respect to security, maintenance, and operation of the aircraft. The department is responsible for the security, maintenance, or operation of an aircraft on an airport only if the department owns or leases the aircraft.  
	(e)  The operator of an aircraft shall operate the aircraft so as to minimize engine, propeller, or rotor wash on an aircraft, person, or property.  
	(f)  A person may not taxi an aircraft onto an airport from property, including water, outside the airport boundary, except as specifically provided for under an airport boundary crossing permit issued under 17 AAC 42.285.  
	(g)  A person may park an aircraft on an airport only in an area the airport manager has designated for aircraft parking or in an area authorized for that purpose under a lease, permit, or concession.  
	(h)  The operator of an aircraft that lands at an airport shall either make prior arrangements with the airport manager for payment of any applicable fee established under 17 AAC 42.125 or report to the office of the airport manager within one hour after landing or as soon as possible thereafter, complete a certified activity report, and pay the fee or make arrangements acceptable to the airport manager for payment.  
	(i)  Unless the airport manager approves otherwise, a person who operates an aircraft shall  
		(1) for wheel-equipped aircraft, engage properly working brakes or block the wheels before starting the engine;  
		(2) attend each operating aircraft engine at all times; and  
		(3) repair the aircraft only in an area the airport manager has designated for aircraft repair or on the premises of a lease, permit, or concession that authorizes the premises to be used for aircraft repair.  
	(j)  The airport manager shall designate areas, times, and operating requirements for aircraft engine runups.  
	(k)  For purposes of this section, "aircraft parking area" means an area the airport manager has designated for aircraft parking under this section or under a lease, permit, or concession and includes transient aircraft parking areas subject to 17 AAC 42.035 and tiedown areas subject to 17 AAC 42.500 - 17 AAC 42.599 or 17 AAC 42.600 - 17 AAC 42.699.
